The housing of a flywheel energy storage system (FESS) also serves as a burst containment in the case of rotor failure of vehicle crash. In this chapter, the requirements for this safety-critical component are discussed, followed by an analysis of historical and contemporary burst containment designs. By providing several practical examples, the importance of designing burst containments specifically adjusted to the flywheel rotor material is demonstrated. The currently available analytical calculation methods and design guidelines are compared with numeric simulations and practical burst containment tests conducted by the Graz University of Technology.
