Composite flywheels are designed, constructed, and used for energy storage applications, particularly those in which energy density is an important factor. Typical energies stored in a single unit range from less than a kilowatt-hour to levels approaching 150 kilowatt-hours.
One of the first studies which showed that composite materials with significantly large specific strength are well suited for flywheel energy storage applications was Rabenhorst (1971).
Currently, high-strength alloy steels or carbon fiber composite materials are primarily used for flywheel energy storage rotors. Carbon fiber composite rotors, due to their high strength and lightweight, can achieve higher power densities. The structure of carbon fiber composite flywheel rotors consists of a resin matrix and fibers.
Thus, a single composite flywheel can be equivalent, in stored energy, from one to more than 100 automotive batteries. Moreover, in flywheel systems, the stored energy and output power are relatively independent of each other. Flywheels under design or construction or testing include those shown in Table 1.
Today, the cost of a composite flywheel system does not scale in proportion to the benefits for lower energy systems. The high-energy end is being pushed upward, but technical challenges are significant. Material strength is a significant design constraint across this energy range.
Today, viable energy storage technologies include flywheels and batteries. The flywheel has recently re-emerged as a promising application for energy storage due to significant improvements in materials and technology.
