A typical system consists of a flywheel supported by rolling-element bearing connected to a motor–generator. The flywheel and sometimes motor–generator may be enclosed in a vacuum chamber to reduce friction and energy loss. First-generation flywheel energy-storage systems use a large steel flywheel rotating on mechanical bearings. Newer systems use carbon-fiber composite rotors
The studies were classified as theoretical or experimental and divided into two main categories: stabilization and dynamic energy storage applications. Of the studies
Their main advantage is their immediate response, since the energy does not need to pass any power electronics. However, only a small percentage of the energy stored in them can be
Primary candidates for large-deployment capable, scalable solutions can be narrowed down to three: Li-ion batteries, supercapacitors, and flywheels. The lithium-ion
