Analysis of Standby Losses and Charging Cycles

The purpose of this paper is therefore to provide a loss assessment methodology for flywheel windage losses and bearing friction

A review of flywheel energy storage systems: state of the art

FESS losses come from the rotor (windage loss), the electric machine (core loss, copper loss), the AMB (eddy current loss and hysteresis loss), and the converter.

Windage loss characterisation for flywheel energy storage

In this paper, a windage loss characterisation strategy for Flywheel Energy Storage Systems (FESS) is presented. An effective windage loss modelling in FESS is essential for

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
