Abstract
Flywheel energy storage systems (FESS) are a highly efficient solution for energy storage, known for their rapid charge/discharge capabilities and long lifecycle. This chapter explores the core principles of FESS, focusing on modeling and simulations to optimize performance. The chapter covers key factors such as rotor geometry, material properties, and rotational speed, all of which affect energy storage capacity and stress distribution. Special attention is given to radial and tangential stress analysis in both solid and hollow flywheels, as well as the benefits of variable-thickness designs. The chapter also examines the integration of FESS with renewable energy sources, using case studies in wave and solar photovoltaic energy systems. This chapter provides an essential guide to understanding and optimizing flywheel systems for modern energy storage applications.
