Rotors for Mobile Flywheel Energy Storage | SpringerLink

Considering the aspects discussed in Sect. 2.2.1, it becomes clear that the maximum energy content of a flywheel energy storage device is defined by the permissible rotor speed.This speed in turn is limited by design factors and material properties. If conventional roller bearings are used, these often limit the speed, as do the heat losses of the electrical machine,
