Abstract - This study gives a critical review of flywheel energy storage systems and their feasibility in various applications. Flywheel energy storage systems have gained increased popularity as a method of environmentally friendly energy storage.
Other opportunities are new applications in energy harvest, hybrid energy systems, and flywheel’s secondary functionality apart from energy storage. The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.
The potential safety and economic losses caused by flywheel failures are enough to attract high attention from flywheel designers and manufacturers. Among them, the rupture of the flywheel rotor is undoubtedly the most destructive flywheel energy storage system failure.
In 1999 , the University of Texas at Austin developed a 7-ring interference assembled composite material flywheel energy storage system and provided a stress distribution calculation method for the flywheel energy storage system.
The flywheel energy storage system mainly stores energy through the inertia of the high-speed rotation of the rotor. In order to fully utilize material strength to achieve higher energy storage density, rotors are increasingly operating at extremely high flange speeds.
The use of new materials and compact designs will increase the specific energy and energy density to make flywheels more competitive to batteries. Other opportunities are new applications in energy harvest, hybrid energy systems, and flywheel’s secondary functionality apart from energy storage.
