OXTO Energy: A New Generation of Flywheel Energy Storage
The flywheel energy storage systems all communicate with a cluster master controller through EtherCAT. This protocol is used to ensure consistent low latency data transfer as is required for fast response times, which is <4ms to bus load changes.
Velkess flywheel technology promises cleaner, more efficient energy storage
The existing prototype flywheel floats on a high efficiency magnetic bearing assembly, can make or absorb 2 kW of power, and can store 0.5 kWh of energy.
Energy storage in flywheels. A flywheel stores energy in a rotating mass. Depending on the inertia and speed of the rotating mass, a given amount of kinetic energy is stored as rotational energy. The flywheel is placed inside a vacuum containment to eliminate friction-loss from the air and suspended by bearings for a stabile operation.

How the Flywheel Works. The flywheel energy storage system works like a dynamic battery that stores energy by spinning a mass around an axis. Electrical input spins the flywheel hub up to a high speed and a standby charge keeps the unit spinning until its called upon to release . its energy. The energy is proportional to its mass and speed …

Mechanical Design Calculations of Flywheel Generator
The flywheel rotor, filament wound carbon fibre/epoxy composite, will have storage capacity 10 MJ of energy at 17,000 rpm with energy storage density of 77.5 J/g and power density of 1.94 kW/g. At such a high speed, issues related to air drag, inertial forces on a rotor, dynamic forces on bearings, and vibration become critical.
Two technologies have emerged from the laboratory and are commercially available today. One uses a steel flywheel, the other a composite flywheel. Steel flywheels have limited energy storage capacities, due to their mass and structural considerations, which restrict them to rotational speeds under 10,000 rpm.
