INTRODUCTION:
A flywheel is an energy storing device and also the starting torque is provided to the flywheel in the automobile transmission system.
The overall automobile is divided into various associated systems which are classified below:
These are those vehicles that work on both conventional-based energy sources such as gasoline-based fuels and various non-
conventional sources such as electricity. Example- NISSAN EV-1.
Now the flywheel is one of the important components of the automobile transmission system and is attached directly to the engine
before the clutch as shown below.

OBJECTIVES:
LITERATURE REVIEW:
Here this paper has a clean representation of a critical review of FESS (Flywheel energy storage system) as well as various ESS
(Energy storage systems) being used. As it is mentioned that these are the key elements that contribute towards the improvement in
the stability and quality of electrical networks as well as they lead towards improving the efficiency of the electrical systems when
the condition of imbalance occurs in the case of supply and demand. This has presented a skeptical review of FESS in relation to its
main components, as well as its applications, which is an approach that was not being captured in the early reviews that were been
done on this topic. Here the description of the flywheel structure, as well as its main components and applications, are provided. The
topics that contributed are electrical machines, power electronics converter topologies, and the bearing systems which are being
considered for use in flywheel storage systems are covered in this paper. The main and foremost application of FESS in power
quality improvement, uninterrupted power supply, transportation, renewable energy systems, and energy storage are explained
clearly. And the applications mentioned under these sectors are also explained. As we know that high power capacity instant response
and case of recycling are the additional key factors. Given is the demand for ESS is increasing on a substantial basis, and that of
FESS is increasing parallelly in the few years as if has there many unique at attributes, the upcoming future of FESS is very bright,
within a time where the costs of Li-ion and other chemistry battery technology continue to reduce in terms of its productivity and
applications. Here is the innovative design, which is based on steel helps in overcoming the concern which is related to safety for
the highly stressed rotors, which can also operate at a much higher speed. This is considered safe for monolithic steel rotors.
Here it is clearly mentioned about the flywheel is basically a mechanical device with a significant moment of inertia which is used
as a storage device for the rotational energy. It resists some changes in its rotational speed, which leads to the rotation of the shaft
when a fluctuating torque is acted upon it through a power source like the reciprocating engine {Piston Based). Flywheel also became
a subject of extensive research as the power storage device being used in vehicles as well as the power plant. For increasing the
flywheel motor performance, it becomes crucial for the prevention of delamination by the decrease in the radial tensile stresses.
Flywheel also resists change in its rotational speeds leading to steady rotation in its power tip for the easy rotation of the shaft when
the fluctuating load being applied onto it by the powern source. Flywheel energy storage systems are the best alternative been
considered to electrochemical batteries by the increase in radial tensile stresses. Hybrid motors of composite materials with differing

stiffness as well as density have also been used for decreasing the radial stresses. The flywheel energy storage systems are basically
considered as the best alternative in comparison to the electrochemical batteries because of the factors of higher stored energy
density, higher life term, and also the ecologically clean nature. Modern high-speed flywheels differ in form of their forebar which
is lighter and much faster spinning. As the energy which is being stored in the flywheel increases linearly with respect to the moment
of inertia and is directly proportional to the square of rotational speed. By the use of FFA analysis, the best material is suggested for
the flywheel design purpose. The best-suggested materials are [ceramics, CFRP, GFRP (composite, Berylium, High strength steel,
High strength Al alloys, High strength Mg alloys, Lead alloys, cast iron.
3) RESEARCH ON STRUCTURE FOR FLYWHEEL STORAGE SYSTEM IN LONG LIFETIME UPS, BY VIKASH
SHRIVASTAV, ON NOVEMBER 2017
It is mentioned about some of the latest developments done in this paper. As it is known about the Flywheel storage energy system
which is not a new technology, its application in various power systems has increased in recent decades. While in addition, various
researches has been applied in order to develop the better feature which FES can offer, when exposed in terms of power excellence
improvement or improvement in field of network advance stability. While its concentration is been lately focused in additional
application in the major field of satellite engineering as well. In most of the case it is been exposed to voltage dips problems. This is
in association with power electronics converters, which in addition offers effective compensation for network. This paper
demonstrated concept of most of technical papers based on FES System. This paper concluded about the recent developments in
Flywheel industry. Which should most of the power system reliability problems in case of low voltage distribution network.
Here it has been clearly mentioned about the amount of energy being stored in a Flywheel which is directly proportional to its
rotational speed square. Here the materials that are used for the Flywheel are Carbon steel 1065, Alloy steel AISI 4340, Maraging
steel 18NT, Alloy steel AISI E9310, Stainless Steel. The methodology behind the selection is based on cost, yield strength, density,
etc. This is been done as per the decision makers. The properties chosen were on the basis of density, hardness, young’s modulus,
bulk modulus as well as poison’s ratio. They applied TOPSIS as well as MCDM for selection of alternate materials in order for
making the engine flywheel. The TOPSIS method can also be used for material selection in the manufacturing sector.
Here it mentioned clearly about the Flywheel energy storage technology on which review was done. It is also Known that 26
university and 27 companies had did major contribution to Flywheel technology development. Various comparisons has been carried
out on case of bearings which is magnite and mechanical bearings comparison is done magnetic bearings are more successful when
compared in terms of stiffness, industrial standards, as well as vacuum operations, etc. Other comparisons were also been carried
out in terms of power transfer, induction machines, reluctance machines, materials, as well as cycle life time. The application of it
are like buses, cars, container cranes/straddle carriers, construction machines, garbage trucks, charging stations, cable ferries, train
station, frequency regulation, etc.
Here it is mentioned about the state of the art as well as the future opportunities which are being required for the flywheel energy
storage system. Here it is also mentioned about the FEES {Flywheel Energy Storage System} that is an interdisciplinary, complex
subject which also involves electrical, mechanical, magnetite subsystems. The various choice made on the subsystem and also about
their impacts upon the performance of system are represented in this paper. For its unique advantages, different FEES systems are
been built as well as applied in various wide range of applications, which includes renewable energies, transportation, utilities, etc.
That review focuses mainly upon the developed FEES, like the utility scale as well as low cost flywheel. Finally the identification
about the future development for FEES technology was done. Usage of new materials as well as compact design increases specific
energy as well as the energy density which helps in making the flywheel more competitive in comparison to the electrochemical
batteries the various other opportunities includes newest applications in energy harvest, hybrid energy systems and flywheel
secondary functionality apart from its energy storage. This review basically focuses on the state of art of FEES technologies, which
is for the commissioned or prototyped. This all are the factors which are contributing the FEES to prosper when compared to the
electrochemical batteries and the energy storage flywheels are used now everywhere which are supported by active magnetic bearing
(AMB) systems for avoiding the friction loss. Thus, helping in storing energy at higher efficiency over a longer duration of time.

SOFTWARES USED:
CATIA stands for Computer-Aided Three-dimensional Interactive Application. Which was developed by a French company named
Dassault System. Initially, it was named CATI (conception assistée tridimensionnelle interactive – French for interactive aided three-
dimensional design) which later changed to CATIA. The first version v1 was released in 1981 and the popular version v5 was
released in 2001 which is still in use. CATIA is not only a CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software but also a package that supports
CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering), CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing), and PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) which is
largely used in the engineering field particularly in aerospace and automobile industries. The companies that are using CATIA are
Boeing, Airbus, Porsche, Audi, Volkswagen, Tata Motors, Mahindra & Mahindra Limited, etc.
