Mechanical energy storage technology project. Annual report for calendar year 1979
The aim of the mechanical energy storage technology (MEST) project at LLL is to demonstrate its potential for energy savings in vehicular and stationary systems. Primary emphasis is on flywheel energy storage systems. In-house research and development work includes development and evaluation of the tapered-thickness flywheel rotor concept and characterization of fiber-composite materials for application to flywheel systems. The Project's CY 1979 activities were organized into the following tasks: transportation applications; photovoltaic and wind applications; fiber-composite materials technology; flywheel rotor and containment technology; advanced component technology; and project management and DOE support. Status of the projects is summarized.
