Energy storage flywheel systems are mechanical devices that typically utilize an electrical machine (motor/generator unit) to convert electrical energy in mechanical energy and vice versa. Energy is stored in a fast-rotating mass known as the flywheel rotor. The rotor is subject to high centripetal forces requiring careful design, analysis, and fabrication to …
A flywheel system stores energy mechanically in the form of kinetic energy by spinning a mass at high speed. Electrical inputs spin the flywheel rotor and keep it spinning until called upon to release the stored energy. The amount of energy available and its duration is controlled by the mass and speed of the flywheel.
High power UPS system. A 50 MW/650 MJ storage, based on 25 industry established flywheels, was investigated in 2001. Possible applications are energy supply for plasma experiments, accelerations of heavy masses (aircraft catapults on aircraft carriers, pre-acceleration of spacecraft) and large UPS systems.
Low-speed flywheels, with typical operating speeds up to 6000 rev/min, are constructed with steel rotors and conventional bearings. For example, a typical flywheel system with steel rotor developed in the 1980s for wind–diesel applications had energy storage capacity around 2 kW h @ 5000 rev/min, and rated power 45 kW.
1. Low weight: The rather high specific energy of the rotor alone is usually only a fraction of the entire system, since the housing has accounts for the largest weight share. 2. Good integration into the vehicle: A corresponding interface/attachment to the vehicle must be designed, which is generally easier to implement in commercial vehicles …
