The energy storage density (ESD) refers to the energy stored per unit mass of the flywheel. According to Eqs. (1), (4), and (5), the energy storage density can be obtained as: From Eq. (6), it can be seen that increasing the effective turning radius R of the flywheel and the speed ω can increase the energy storage density.
The volumetric energy storage density is the amount of heat that can be released per volume unit of either the sorbent material (hereafter marked Qmat) or the whole system (Q sys, i.e. including the reactor and all the components for the management of air flow, in atmospheric systems, or of vapour and heat transfer fluids, in pressurized systems).
The energy storage density is affected by the specific strength of the flywheel rotor (the ratio of material strength to density σ / ρ). The allowable stress and density are both related to the material used in the flywheel.
For these rotors, the relationship between material properties, geometry and energy density can be expressed by using a weighed-average approach. One of the primary limits to flywheel design is the tensile strength of the rotor. Generally speaking, the stronger the disc, the faster it may be spun, and the more energy the system can store.
Energy density is the key technical criterion for energy storage. The energy density consists of both the energy stored per unit mass or per unit volume of the energy storage medium. Carbon-based chemicals are very high in both areas.
Generally, the stored energy density (Ue) of a dielectric is the integration in the shadow region as illustrated schematically in Fig. 6.17. The permittivity and electric breakdown strength are the two key parameters influencing the stored energy density. Much effort has been paid to improve the energy storage performance.

Mechanical Energy Storage
A flywheel is a rotating mechanical device that is used to store rotational energy that can be called up instantaneously. At the most basic level, a flywheel contains a spinning mass in its center that is driven by a motor – and when energy is needed, the spinning force drives a device similar to a turbine to produce electricity, slowing the rate of rotation.
