9860907 This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will investigate the material and design changes that are required to build low-cost flywheel energy storage systems for use in polarenvironments. Significant progress has been recently made in reducing the cost and complexity of magnetic bearing, vacuum, and motor/generator systems and in low-cost composite flywheel rims. Material property studies at low temperatures are required to predict the performance of flywheel components over the required operating temperature range of -75 to 130 degrees Centigrade. Phase I will test and evaluate composite materials for use in low ambient temperature operations. Another objective is to design innovative low-cost flywheel rims with satisfactory low temperature performance, using the materials selected in the project. It is anticipated that flywheel technology will fulfill the promise of environmentally friendly energy generation and storage when combined with emerging high-performance, renewable solar and wind resources. In addition to applications in polar regions, large markets are expected in developing countries where construction of a national energy grid is prohibitively expensive.

该小型企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目将研究建造用于极地环境的低成本飞轮储能系统所需的材料和设计变化。最近在降低磁性轴承、真空和电机/发电机系统的成本和复杂性以及低成本复合飞轮轮辋方面取得了重大进展。需要在低温下进行材料性能研究，以预测飞轮部件在-75至130摄氏度所需工作温度范围内的性能。第一阶段将测试和评估复合材料在低温环境下的应用。另一个目标是使用项目中选择的材料，设计具有令人满意的低温性能的创新低成本飞轮轮辋。预计飞轮技术与新兴的高性能可再生太阳能和风能资源相结合，将实现环保能源发电和储存的承诺。除了在极地地区的应用之外，预计在建设国家能源网成本过高的发展中国家也有很大的市场。
