Flywheel batteries, a new concept of energy storage devices, push the limits of chemical batteries and achieve physical energy storage through the high-speed rotation of a flywheel [1] [2] [3].

A subcritical or supercritical rotor is often employed to improve the energy storage efficiency of flywheel systems. Consequently, it is necessary to introduce Squeeze film dampers (SFD) in the rotor-bearing system to suppress the lateral vibration of the rotor. Although the dynamic behavior of the rotor-bearing system can be investigated

Flywheel rotors are a key component, determining not only the energy content of the entire flywheel energy storage system (FESS), but also system costs,

For the steel flywheel, dividing the cost of $0.15 by 173 watt-seconds stored energy gives a specific cost of $0.867 per kW-second. Similarly, for the GFRE flywheel, dividing the cost of $1.52 by 479 watt-seconds stored energy gives a specific cost of $3.17 per kW-second; a factor of 3.66 times higher.

Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by accelerating a rotor to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as rotational energy. When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel''s rotational speed is reduced as a consequence of the principle of conservation of energy ; adding energy to the system correspondingly results in an
