A typical system consists of a flywheel supported by rolling-element bearing connected to a motor–generator. The flywheel and sometimes motor–generator may be enclosed in a vacuum chamber to reduce friction and energy loss. 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
The Recipient will install a practical and low-cost kinetic energy flywheel energy storage system and a solar photovoltaic (PV) array to provide energy to the Viejas Tribal Land.
The ex-isting energy storage systems use various technologies, including hydro-electricity, batteries, supercapacitors, thermal storage, energy storage flywheels,[2] and others.
