Electric Flywheel Basics. The core element of a flywheel consists of a rotating mass, typically axisymmetric, which stores rotary kinetic energy E according to (Equation 1) E = 1 2 I ω 2 [ J], where E is the stored kinetic energy, I is the flywheel moment of inertia [kgm 2 ], and ω is the angular speed [rad/s].

A second class of distinction is the means by which energy is transmitted to and from the flywheel rotor. In a FESS, this is more commonly done by means of an electrical machine directly coupled to the flywheel rotor. This configuration, shown in Fig. 11.1, is particularly attractive due to its simplicity if electrical energy storage is needed.

The flywheel stores this energy as kinetic energy and provides the same in the other strokes (compression, intake, and exhaust) for a continuous engine run. Therefore, in the absence of a flywheel, the rotation of the crankshaft has become pulsating; and when the interval of the power stroke becomes long as in the idling state, the engine gets stopped.
