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.
Revterra stores energy in the motion of a flywheel. Electric energy is converted into kinetic energy by a spinning rotor. When needed, that kinetic energy is converted back to electricity. Revterra''s innovative approach leverages passively stable magnetic bearings and low-cost steel alloys to improve efficiency and reduce cost.
Equation (6) indicates that the specific energy (energy per mass unit) and energy density (energy per volume unit) of the flywheel are dependent on its shape, expressed by the shape factor K, and the yield stress ˙ y. By contrast, the power rating depends on the

Flywheel energy storage systems (FESS) are increasingly important to high power, relatively low energy applications. They are especially attractive for applications requiring frequent cycling given that they incur limited life reduction if used extensively (i.e., they can undergo many partial and full charge-discharge cycles with trivial wear per cycle).

This is equal to about 500,000 kWh or 0.5 MWh of energy. Remember that this energy is consumed in less than two seconds, so to maintain a constant acceleration much of that energy will be consumed in the last half second. Even if we spread the energy evenly across the two seconds the power required approaches 1,000 MW.
