Energy storage flywheel speed range

Compared with other ways to store electricity, FES systems have long lifetimes (lasting decades with little or no maintenance; full-cycle lifetimes quoted for flywheels range from in excess of 10 , up to 10 , cycles of use), high (100–130 W·h/kg, or 360–500 kJ/kg), and large maximum power output. The (ratio of energy out per energy in) of flywheels, also known as round-trip efficiency, can be as high as 90%. Typical capacities range from 3 to 1. ω 2 is the maximum operating speed, which is the maximum speed that the flywheel motor can reach; ω 1 is the minimum operating speed, which is the minimum speed required for the flywheel rotor to continuously discharge. The flywheel operating speed range is ω 1 ∼ ω 2. [pdf]
