Abstract

This chapter provides a general introduction to the topic of flywheel energy storage systems with a focus on vehicular applications. It touches upon historical aspects, covering not only technological, but also socio-economic issues and explains the motivation for a holistic consideration of the system “energy storage vehicle environment”. The role of the transport sector in the energy revolution is discussed with an emphasis on what future mobility might look like. Beyond that, the structure of the book and its following chapters is described.

Footnotes
1
Problems such as the significantly reduced range of EVs during winter, long charging times, and the warranty and disposal issue of the batteries could not be completely solved to date.
 
2
Discussions between car manufacturers and politicians concerning standard plugs for charging electric vehicles and a uniform battery system that allows battery swapping seem to have been fruitless so far, but are still ongoing.
