  • Abstract
    The results of an electromechanical flywheel are presented to ascertain the considerations during the design stage. The design procedure is explained in brief. The considerations include, load profiling, mechanical and electrical aspects are discussed. This is essential in achieving the numerous advantages associated with the flywheel energy storage system. The results for low speed testing are presented with considerations to improving the system.
