This project focuses on the UKs growing need for energy storage solutions to supportrenewable energy deployments & grid integration & to reduce strain on the national gridduring peak times as outlined in the TSB’s Energy Supply Strategy 2012 – “supportingrenewable energy deployments through energy storage developments to meet legally bindingtargets for greenhouse gas reduction”. The proposed solution is to develop much largerComposite Flywheels producing MWh’s rather than kWh’s with existing solutions. Keyobjectives are to prove the technical & cost feasibility & benefits of large composite flywheelenergy storage. Through discussions with potential end-users, the commercial productrequires the following objectives/applications: Low Voltage Ride Through insensitive, VArmanagement, storage efficiency, spinning reserve, Black Start, rapid response with fastramping & small footprint.Project innovation is to prove the concept of an in-situ manufacturing process capable ofbuilding composite flywheels with the quality of bond & inclusion size to support thedemands of hoop & radial stress. Further innovation is to develop a magnetic bearingarrangement supported on a frustrated cone to centre the rotor & compensate for radial growthduring operation. The system will run in a vacuum utilising Halbach arrays to support theflywheel weight for friction free running.Key project benefits are to prove the concept innovations in the workshop & to completebasic material strength trials to validate the theoretical design work & manufacturing process.This enables EPL to develop an exploitation roadmap to further develop the technology tobuild an initial prototype flywheel in conjunction with key material & systems partners. Ifsuccessful, the project contributes to the longer term goal of resolving energy storage issues inthe UK & abroad & supports the deployment of renewable energy systems & strengtheninglocal grid usage & stability.

该项目的重点是英国对能源存储解决方案日益增长的需求，以减少可再生能源部署和电网整合，并减少TSB 2012年能源供应战略中概述的高峰时期国家电网的压力-“通过能源存储发展支持可再生能源部署，以满足具有法律约束力的温室气体减排目标”。建议的解决方案是开发更大的复合材料飞轮生产兆瓦时的，而不是千瓦时的现有解决方案。关键目标是证明大型复合材料飞轮储能的技术和成本可行性及效益。通过与潜在最终用户的讨论，商业产品需要以下目标/应用：低电压穿越不敏感，无功管理，存储效率，旋转储备，黑启动，项目创新是为了证明现场制造工艺的概念，该工艺能够构建复合材料飞轮，其结合质量和夹杂物尺寸能够支持环箍和径向应力进一步的创新是开发一种磁轴承装置，该装置支撑在一个受抑圆锥体上，以使转子居中并补偿运行期间的径向增长。该系统将在真空中运行，利用Halbach阵列支撑飞轮重量，实现无摩擦运行。项目的主要好处是在车间证明概念创新，并完成基本材料强度试验，以验证理论设计工作和制造工艺。这使EPL能够制定开发路线图，进一步开发技术，结合关键材料和工艺，构建初始原型飞轮。系统合作伙伴。如果成功，该项目将有助于解决英国和国外的能源存储问题，支持可再生能源系统的部署，加强当地电网的使用和稳定性。
