Flywheel rotors are a key component, determining not only the energy content of the entire flywheel energy storage system (FESS), but also system costs, housing design, bearing system, etc. Using simple analytic formulas, the basics of FESS rotor design and material selection are presented. The important differences between isotropic (steel) rotors and (anisotropic) fiber composite flywheels are explained in detail, and many practical examples are given in well-arranged tables. Finally, the design, manufacturing, and testing process of two different FESS rotors is presented, providing the reader with unprecedented insight into the topic.
