Abstract - This study gives a critical review of flywheel energy storage systems and their feasibility in various applications. Flywheel energy storage systems have gained increased popularity as a method of environmentally friendly energy storage.
However, the use of combined battery - flywheel storage systems is only minimally investigated in literature in terms of energy benefits and, above all, effects on battery life are missed. In Ref. [ 23] a feasibility study is carried out concerning the coupling of a flywheel with a battery storage system for an off-grid installation.
NASA’s flywheel-based mechanical battery system showcased a sustainable and efficient alternative to chemical batteries, using gyroscopic principles for energy storage and spacecraft orientation.
