The new-generation Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS), which uses High-Temperature Superconductors (HTS) for magnetic levitation and stabilization, is a novel storage technology.
Standby loss in flywheel energy storage can significantly influence system efficiency and operational costs. 1. Standby loss typically ranges from 1% to 5% of the stored energy capacity per hour. This figure varies based on multiple factors such as flywheel design, materials, and ambient conditions. 2.
The flywheel energy storage system (FESS) can operate in three modes: charging, standby, and discharging. The standby mode requires the FESS drive motor to work at high speed under no load and has the longest operating time.

Aerodynamic drag and bearing friction are the main sources of standby losses in the flywheel rotor part of a flywheel energy storage system (FESS). Although these losses are typically small in a well-designed system, the energy losses can become significant due to the continuous operation of the flywheel over time.
