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. 1. Introduction
Author to whom correspondence should be addressed. 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 flywheel body material was graphite composite material, with an energy density of 11.67 Wh/kg. The carbon fiber epoxy resin composite flywheel rotor developed by the University of Maryland in the United States has successfully stored 20 kWh of energy, with a maximum speed of 46,345 rpm .
In the meantime, we consider the allowable stress effect on the optimal shape of the flywheel rotor. It is found that the optimized shape of the flywheel rotor is changed with the allowable stress. In general, the flywheel should first satisfy the requirement of energy storage capacity. The rotor of flywheel provides most of the kinetic energy.
