Abstract

Energy storage systems always interact with their periphery or supersystem. In the case of automotive flywheel energy storage systems (FESS), interactions and interdependencies with the vehicle, driver, and even the entire transport infrastructure can be oversed and are dealt with in this chapter. The reader finds a well-structured introduction to the physical basics of kinetic energy storage, followed by design considerations at energy storage and vehicle level and an extensive list of successful FESS prototypes. Three representative examples of different flywheel hybrid vehicles are picked out and discussed in detail.

Footnotes
1
While in the past a continuous reduction of fuel consumption was observed in vehicle fleets, CO2 emissions from new cars in Germany are rising again due to the increasing sales figures of SUVs despite more efficient engines [1].
 
2
CVT: continuously variable transmission, a transmission with a continuous gear ratio and without discrete shift points. Often also called variomatic
 
3
This is also confirmed by the introduction of a 48 V on-board network for passenger cars.

Gustav Niemann, 1899–1982, Professor for Machine Elements at the TU Braunschweig and TU Munich, Germany, is considered one of the most important scientists in the field of methods of development in mechanical engineering.
