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
Flywheel energy storage (FES) technology has the advantages of fast start-up capacity, low maintenance cost, high life, no pollution, high energy storage, fast charging, and infinite
The energy storage flywheel market, currently valued at $236 million in 2025, is projected to experience robust growth, driven by the increasing demand for reliable and efficient energy
