This paper discusses the system considerations of a magnetically suspended flywheel energy storage system for spacecraft application. Key technologies are identified and their influence on overall system design is discussed. Particular attention is addressed to the active bearing control system, the touch down bearings and the dynamic performance and balancing requirements for the flywheel. Finally, a matrix of the key technologies versus the prototype designs is presented to show the current status of inertial energy storage research at the University of Maryland and to indicate directions for future work.
