Inertial Energy Storage System

Inertial energy storage systems are provided that include a generator and a rotor system. Non-rotating and rotating components of the system, such as a generator and a flywheel, are supported compliantly through the use of a gimbal system. The purpose- designed gimbal has software algorithms for proper operational control of an axially elongated pendulum flywheel. The inertial energy storage system further includes a mechanical adjustment system for permitting initial alignment of the generator and the rotor system so that the mass and geometric centers of the rotor system can be substantially co- axially aligned.
