Research Review of Flywheel Energy Storage Technology

Abstract

Abstract to study the flywheel energy storage technology, a great number of papers about the researches on and development of high-speed flywheel energy storage system in China and overseas were reviewed and summarized. The technology started early in foreign countries. It developed rapidly and has formed a certain series of products today, while in China, the research on this technology is quite laggard and still in the experimenting stage. Now there is no flywheel energy storage product which can be applied in practice in quantity. Therefore, the research on a new type of efficient and low power consumption energy storage flywheel is of great value and significance today.
