OSTI ID:6651208
The aim of this system study is to find out industrial applications of Stationary Flywheel Energy Accumulators. The economic value for the consumer and the effects on the power supply grid should be investigated. As to overall economy, compensation of short time maximum power out-put seems to be more favorable at the power stations. An additional possibility for energy storage by flywheels is given where otherwise lost energy can be used effectively, according to the successful brake energy storage in vehicles. Under this aspect the future use of flywheels in wind-power-plants seems to be promising. Attractive savings of energy can be obtained by introducing modern flywheel technology for emergency power supply units which are employed for instance in telecommunication systems. Especially the application for emergency power supply, in power stations and in combination with wind energy converters needs further investigation.
