A comparative study between optimal metal and composite rotors for flywheel energy storage systems
Download2018-11-01
Most recent research on flywheel rotors has focused on high-speed composite rotors as the storage element of the flywheel energy storage system (FESS). Literature research indicates that this is primarily due to the high specific energy of composites compared to metals. However, a quantitative...
