For the automotive use of flywheels, it is particularly important to increase the moment of inertia of the flywheel as much as possible while keeping the overall mass increase low. In order to improve the specific energy of the system, a multi-stage flywheel rotor was designed.
FESS has a unique advantage over other energy storage technolo-gies: It can provide a second function while serving as an energy storage device. Earlier works use flywheels as satellite attitude-control devices.
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. To reduce friction, magnetic bearings are sometimes used instead of mechanical bearings.

Flywheel technology is a method of energy storage that uses the principles of rotational kinetic energy. A flywheel is a mechanical device that stores energy by spinning a rotor at very high speeds.
This can be achieved by high power-density storage, such as a high-speed Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS). It is shown that a variable-mass flywheel can effectively utilise the FESS useable capacity in most transients close to optimal. Novel variable capacities FESS is proposed by introducing Dual-Inertia FESS (DIFESS) for EVs.
While many papers compare different ESS technologies, only a few research [152,153] studies design and control flywheel-based hybrid energy storage systems. Recently, Zhang et al. present a hybrid energy storage system based on compressed air energy storage and FESS.
