Energy Storage Flywheel Rotors—Mechanical Design: Comparison
View Latest Version
Please note this is a comparison between Version 2 by Nora Tang and Version 1 by Pierre Mertiny.

Definition: 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 ensure the safe operation of the storage device.

  • flywheel energy storage
  • high-speed rotors
  • mechanical design
  • manufacturing
  • analytical model-ing
  • failure prediction
