In storage mode, the motor drives the flywheel to accelerate its rotation, converting electrical energy to mechanical energy for storage; in release mode, the motor operates as a generator, converting the stored mechanical energy
First-generation flywheel energy-storage systems use a large steel flywheel rotating on mechanical bearings. Newer systems use carbon-fiber composite rotors that have a higher tensile strength than steel and can store much more energy for the same mass.
