Analysis of Standby Losses and Charging Cycles in Flywheel Energy Storage Systems
Aerodynamic drag and bearing friction are the main sources of standby losses in the flywheel rotor part of a flywheel energy storage system (FESS). Although these losses are typically small in a well-designed system, the energy losses can become significant due to the continuous operation of the fly...
