This proposal is to roll out a series of innovative, electric vehicle, Flywheel Fast Charging Stations (FFCS) across the UK Strategic Road Network. As well as providing rapid charging for Highways England’s own fleet, this energy system will position Highways England at the leading edge of advanced fast charging technology for the future generation of 150kW+ chargers to fast charge high-demand cars and lorries. As more FFCS are installed, their fast storage capacity can then be integrated as part of a distributed grid to allow Highways England to manage their national power demands, incorporate renewable energy, lower their carbon footprint, improve sustainability and reduce the demand on the national grid. The use of flywheels, or ‘kinetic energy storage’ specifically addresses super fast energy transfer to compliment baseload energy supplied by the grid, batteries, etc. They are ideal to build charge slowly when idle and then dump that energy at high speed into an EV at a much lower cost than batteries and with no thermal problems, no fire risk, very long life and easy recyclability. Gyrotricity is developing breakthrough flywheel performance that addresses traditional safety, cost and power loss issues. Working with centres of research excellence at a number of UK universities, Gyrotricity is ensuring that the best technology available in the UK will go into a world leading product that addresses the next phase of roading electrification and power management.

这项提议是在英国的战略公路网上推出一系列创新的电动汽车、飞轮快速充电站(FFC)。除了为英国高速公路公司自己的车队提供快速充电外，该能源系统还将使英国高速公路公司处于先进快速充电技术的领先地位，用于未来一代150kW以上的充电器，为高需求的轿车和卡车快速充电。随着更多FFC的安装，它们的快速存储容量可以整合为分布式电网的一部分，使英格兰高速公路能够管理其国家电力需求，纳入可再生能源，降低其碳足迹，提高可持续性，并减少对国家电网的需求。飞轮或“动能存储”的使用专门解决了超快的能量传递，以补充由电网、电池等提供的基本负载能量。它们是理想的在空闲时缓慢充电，然后以比电池低得多的成本将能量高速倾倒到电动汽车中，并且没有热问题，没有火灾风险，非常长的寿命和易于回收。Gyrotricity正在开发突破性的飞轮性能，以解决传统的安全、成本和功率损失问题。Gyrotricity与英国多所大学的卓越研究中心合作，确保英国现有的最好技术将用于世界领先的产品，满足道路电气化和电力管理的下一阶段需求。
