p [ W kg] must also be regarded. When it comes to a Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS), the stored kinetic energy is proportional to flywheel mass moment of inertia and the square of flywheel rotational speed. For a modern high-speed FESS, the energy is sought to be increased by maximising rotational speed rather than flywheel size and mass.
