Approximately 140 representatives from government, national labor- atories, universities and industry attended the three-day meeting, during which 45 presentations were made by major DOE contractors and subcontractors. Within the Division of Energy Storage systems, the responsibility for the development of mechanical and magnetic energy storage lies within the Advanced Physical Methods Branch. Included are five technology areas — flywheels, mechanical energy storage for solar/wind applications, compressed air energy storage, underground pumped hydroelectric energy storage, and superconducting magnetic energy storage. Applications for the technology include ground transportation, solar energy systems, and large-scale electric utility systems. The meeting was organized and conducted by the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory under the direction of Dr. George C. Chang, Chief, Advanced Physical Methods Branch of the Division of Energy Storage Systems. Session chairmen were selected from the active program participants for the eight designated technical sessions. Specific arrangements for the respective sessions were coordinated through the session chairmen. Credit for the success of this meeting is largely due to the active support of these session chairmen, as well as that of the individual speakers and of the Bradford National Corporation, through whom the administrative arrangements for the meeting were made. The technical papers which make up these proceedings were individually propared by the responsible contractors and subcontractors; the function of the "editors" in this case has been primarily that of reviewing the individual submissions for completeness and assembling the document for printing. Technical editing, in the formal sense, has been minimal. Thomas M. Barlow, Chairman Mechanical and Magnetic Energy Storage Annual Contractors Review Meeting-1978 OPENING REMARKS George C. Chang As the Branch Chief for Advanced Physical Methods, I am happy to welcome you to the 1978 Mechanical and Magnetic Energy Storage Contractors' Review Meeting. We envision this to be the first of a series of annual meetings for which there are two purposes. The first is to make it possible for DOE Headquarters personnel to obtain, with a minimum of travel, a comprehensive overview of our programs and an acquaintance with the participants. The second

  • Flywheel Energy Storage – a Smart Grid Approach to Supporting Wind Integration
    Flywheel Energy Storage – a Smart Grid Approach to Supporting Wind Integration Chet Lyons (Beacon Power Corp.) — Tyngsboro, Massachusetts, USA — [email protected] Wind developers face tough challenges in integrating and operating wind resources on today's grid. A recently commercialized inertial energy storage technology can help address several issues of common interest to wind developers, utilities and grid operators. These include the need for more regulation to help balance generation and load as wind penetration rises; the projected shortfall in some grid areas of regional ramping capacity that is needed to cope with wind’s variability; and the difficulty of developing wind generation in smaller balancing areas that lack sufficient regulation and ramping capacity. After more than 10 years of development and successful scale-power tests in California and New York, in 2008 Beacon Power began operating the world’s first commercial 1 MW flywheel frequency regulation system under ISO New England’s Advanced Technologies Pilot Program. Beacon’s resource has since expanded to two megawatts, and by the end of 2009 is expected to be three megawatts. (See Figure 1) Figure 1: 1 MW Flywheel Regulation System Operating in New England Flywheels are installed below grade while the power electronics, monitoring and control systems are housed in a steel cargo container A flywheel energy storage system is elegant in its simplicity. The ISO monitors the frequency of the grid, and based on North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) frequency control guidelines the ISO decides when more or less generation is needed to balance generation with load. When generation exceeds load, the ISO’s regulation dispatch control signal directs the flywheels to absorb energy from the grid and store it kinetically by spinning the flywheels faster.

Academic Editor: Joeri Van Mierlo Received: 25 July 2015 / Accepted: 12 September 2015 / Published: 25 September 2015 Abstract: A review of flywheel energy storage technology was made, with a special focus on the progress in automotive applications. We found that there are at least 26 university research groups and 27 companies contributing to flywheel technology development. Flywheels are seen to excel in high-power applications, placing them closer in functionality to supercapacitors than to batteries. Examples of flywheels optimized for vehicular applications were found with a specific power of 5.5 kW/kg and a specific energy of 3.5 Wh/kg. Another flywheel system had 3.15 kW/kg and 6.4 Wh/kg, which can be compared to a state-of-the-art supercapacitor vehicular system with 1.7 kW/kg and 2.3 Wh/kg, respectively. Flywheel energy storage is reaching maturity, with 500 flywheel power buffer systems being deployed for London buses (resulting in fuel savings of over 20%), 400 flywheels in operation for grid frequency regulation and many hundreds more installed for uninterruptible power supply (UPS) applications.

    PRELIMINARY DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF AN ENERGY STORAGE FLYWHEEL ___________________________________ A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the School of Engineering and Applied Science University of Virginia ___________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy by Arunvel Kailasan May 2013 APPROVAL SHEET This dissertation is submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering ___________________________________ Arunvel Kailasan This dissertation has been read and approved by the Examining Committee: __________________________________ Timothy Dimond, Advisor __________________________________ Houston Wood, Chairman __________________________________ George Gillies __________________________________ Andres Clarens __________________________________ Wei Jiang Accepted for the School of Engineering and Applied Science: _________________________________ James H. Aylor, Dean May 2013 Abstract Energy storage is becoming increasingly important with the rising need to accommodate a greater population. Flywheel energy storage systems store kinetic energy by constantly spinning a compact rotor in a low-friction environment. When short-term back-up power is required as a result of utility power loss or fluctuations, the rotor's inertia allows it to continue spinning and the resulting kinetic energy is converted to electricity. Unlike the fossil-fuel power plants and batteries, the Flywheel based energy storage systems does not emit any harmful byproducts during their operation and have gained a lot of interest recently. A typical flywheel system is comprised of an energy storage rotor, a motor-generator system, bearings, power electronics, controls and housing. Conventional flywheel designs have a large diameter energy storage rotor attached to a smaller diameter section which is used as a motor/generator.

  • 2 MW 130 Kwh Flywheel Energy Storage System
    2 MW 130 kWh Flywheel Energy Storage System Matthew Caprio, John Herbst,1 and Robert Thelen The University of Texas at Austin Abstract The Center for Electromechanics has developed and is currently testing a 2 MW, 130 kWh (480 MJ) flywheel energy storage system (FESS) designed as a load leveling energy management device. The flywheel energy storage system consists of the energy storage flywheel, a high speed induction motor/generator, and a bi- directional power converter. The FESS is a key element of the Advanced Locomotive Propulsion System (ALPS), an advanced high speed passenger locomotive power supply being developed for use on existing (non- electrified) track to provide speed and acceleration performance comparable to modern electric trains currently in service on electrified routes. This paper describes the electrical and physical characteristics of the FESS, the application requirements that shaped the design of the FESS, and the internal details of the major components: the flywheel, motor / generator, and power converter. Safety of the flywheel is addressed in terms of the designed probability against a ring burst and the ability of the internal containment structure to controllably manage an unlikely burst event. Finally, the current status of the flywheel component development, testing, and planned future demonstrations are described. ALPS Flywheel System Overview The ALPS flywheel energy storage system (FESS) serves as an electrical load leveling device for a hybrid electric locomotive propulsion system. The FESS reduces load fluctuations of the prime generator by providing supplemental power to the dc bus during periods of peak acceleration, and recharging during periods of deceleration or excess generation capacity.
