Flywheel energy storage systems are highly efficient, with energy conversion efficiencies ranging from 70% to 90%. However, the efficiency of a flywheel system can be affected by friction loss and other energy losses, such as those caused by the generator or motor.
[pdf] Let’s cut to the chase: maximum cycle efficiency determines how much energy you actually get back from your storage system after accounting for losses. Imagine buying a gallon of milk but only getting 60% into your cereal bowl – that’s essentially what happens with inefficient energy storage.
