Flywheel energy storage systems (FESS) have a wide range of applications in energy grids and transportation such as load balancing, frequency regulation, power quality improvement, and primary or secondary power supplies. Recently, the adoption of high strength composite rotors has allowed FESS...

Investigation of Failure Modes of Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composite Flywheel Rotors for Energy Storage Systems
DownloadFall 2022
High-velocity and long-lifetime operating conditions of modern high-speed energy storage flywheel rotors may create the necessary conditions for failure modes not included in current quasi-static failure analyses. The central hypothesis for this thesis research is that (i) viscoelastic effects...
