This review comprehensively examines recent literature on FESS, focusing on energy recovery technologies, integration with drivetrain systems, and environmental impacts.

Can flywheel energy storage systems be used in vehicles?

Provided insights into the current applications of FESS in vehicles, highlighting their role in sustainable transportation. Flywheel Energy Storage Systems (FESS) are a pivotal innovation in vehicular technology, offering significant advancements in enhancing performance in vehicular applications.

Why do F1 race cars need a flywheel energy storage system?

Flybrid Systems was among the primary suppliers of such innovative flywheel energy storage solutions for F1 race cars . Flywheels in motorsport undergo several charge/discharge cycles per minute, thus standby losses are not a huge concern. Conventional driving schemes, on the other hand, necessitate a greater level of standby efficiency.

How does a flywheel energy storage system work?

Flywheel Energy Storage Systems (FESS) rely on a mechanical working principle: An electric motor is used to spin a rotor of high inertia up to 20,000-50,000 rpm. Electrical energy is thus converted to kinetic energy for storage. For discharging, the motor acts as a generator, braking the rotor to produce electricity.
