Abstract

A flywheel hybrid energy storage system includes a rotor 1 with rechargeable electrical energy storage system 3 in its rim, a shaft 2 and bearings 4 which when driven will store rotational kinetic energy in the flywheel rotor 1 and when the flywheel rotor 1 is slowed down converts the rotational kinetic energy back. The outer rim incorporates the electrical energy storage system 3, which stores the electrical energy and provides part of the mass for storing the kinetic energy in the flywheel rotor 1. The electrical energy can be used to drive many different devices.

Description

FLYWHEEL HYBRID ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM.
The invention relates to a flywheel hybrid energy storage system, which provides two different methods of storing energy.
Flywheel systems are well known but suffer from the disadvantage that they are normally only able to store rotational kinetic energy.
An object of this invention is to provide two methods of storing energy in a single unit.
Accordingly by using this configuration as ways of storing energy in the outer rim of the flywheel two different types of energy can be stored.
A preferred embodiment of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawing in which: FIGURE 1 shows a plan view of the flywheel hybrid energy storage system with the electrical energy storage system exposed for explanation purposes.
FIGURE 2 shows a side section view of the system.
FLYWHEEL HYBRfl) ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM As shown in figure 1 the flywheel hybrid energy storage system comprises a shaft 2 bearings 4 rotor 1, the rotor 1 is a rotating disc accelerated by a power source used as a storage device for kinetic energy, and an electrical energy storage system 3 which can be charged to store electrical energy.
Figure 2 shows a cross section side view of the system where the electrical energy storage system 3 is enclosed in the rotor I at the rim.
The flywheel hybrid energy storage system is able to store kinetic energy in the rotor I and electrical energy in the electrical energy storage system 3, the kinetic energy is converted back by slowing down the rotor 1 and using the electrical energy storage system 3 provide electrical energy.
By incorporating the electrical energy storage system 3 in the rim of the rotor 1 they form part of the mass required for storing the kinetic energy as well as the electrical energy they provide themselves
