Keywords - Energy storage systems, Flywheel, Mechanical batteries, Renewable energy. 1. Introduction
On-board flywheels: There are two charging methods for the on-board flywheel battery, one is to use electrical energy as input energy, and the second is to directly drive the flywheel to rotate through the transmission device with mechanical energy (mainly used for braking energy recovery of electric vehicles).
The physical arrangement of batteries can be designed to match a wide variety of configurations, whereas a flywheel at a minimum must occupy a certain area and volume, because the energy it stores is proportional to its rotational inertia and to the square of its rotational speed.
