State of Charge (SOC): How “spun up” the flywheel is (100% = maximum RPM). Self-Discharge Rate: Energy loss over time—typically 3-5% per hour in top systems.
The standby self-discharge rate of the flywheel system at three different pressures of 0.01, 0.1 and 1 Pa is shown in Figure 9.
Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by spinning a rotor (flywheel) and maintaining the energy in the system as rotational energy.
A. Configurations and Principle of Operation wn in Fig. 1, includes a flywheel rotor, an electric motor/generato and its associated drive, bearing systems, and a containment. The flywheel

A shortcoming of FESS is its high self-discharge rate, with losses in the region of 5-20% per hour [18, 19]. FESS systems can be combined with renewable energy due to their fast response
Some of the solutions to these limitations suggested in literature include the improving the bearing for decreasing the self-discharge rate, reducing the efficiency of low

Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by spinning a rotor (flywheel) and maintaining the energy in the system as rotational energy. When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel''s rotational speed is reduced as a consequence of the principle of conservation of energy; adding energy to the system correspondingly results in an increase in the speed of the flywheel. W
