To achieve a higher energy capacity, FESSs either include a rotor with a significant moment of inertia or operate at a fast spinning speed. Most of the flywheel rotors are made of either composite or metallic materials. [pdf]
[FAQS about Flywheel energy storage rotor speed]
The flywheel system is designed to store 5 kWh as the usable energy with the maximum running speed of 18,000rpm. The rotor mass including the flywheel is 235 kg. Diameter of the flywheel is 716mm, and the axial length of the rotor is 778 mm including the thrust collar and the cap. [pdf]
[FAQS about Flywheel energy storage rotor weight]
A typical 100 kW flywheel system today ranges from $1,500 to $3,000 per kWh installed. Compared to lithium-ion's $400-$750/kWh, that seems steep at first glance. But here's the kicker - flywheels can last 20+ years with minimal degradation, while batteries need replacement every 7-10 years. [pdf]
