Indeed, the development of high strength, low-density carbon fiber composites (CFCs) in the 1970s generated renewed interest in flywheel energy storage. Based on design strengths typically used in commercial flywheels, s. max/r is around 600 kNm/kg for CFC, whereas for wrought flywheel steels, it is around 75 kNm/kg.
The flywheel is the main energy storage component in the flywheel energy storage system, and it can only achieve high energy storage density when rotating at high speeds. Choosing appropriate flywheel body materials and structural shapes can improve the storage capacity and reliability of the flywheel.
