Dai Xingjian et al. designed a variable cross-section alloy steel energy storage flywheel with rated speed of 2700 r/min and energy storage of 60 MJ to meet the technical requirements for energy and power of the energy storage unit in the hybrid power system of oil rig, and proposed a new scheme of keyless connection with the motor spindle.
In the future, the focus should be on how to improve the stability of the flywheel energy storage single machine operation and optimize the control strategy of the flywheel array. The design of composite rotors mainly optimizes the operating speed, the number of composite material wheels, and the selection of rotor materials.
Among them, the rupture of the flywheel rotor is undoubtedly the most destructive flywheel energy storage system failure. Therefore, in the design process of flywheel rotor, it is necessary to fully evaluate the operation safety of flywheel energy storage system based on the material, size, and speed of the rotor.
When compared to conventional energy storage systems, the flywheel has many advantages which include high power/energy density, much less environmental problems, availability of output energy directly in mechanical form and high efficiency.
