Abstract

The housing of a flywheel energy storage system (FESS) also serves as a burst containment in the case of rotor failure of vehicle crash. In this chapter, the requirements for this safety-critical component are discussed, followed by an analysis of historical and contemporary burst containment designs. By providing several practical examples, the importance of designing burst containments specifically adjusted to the flywheel rotor material is demonstrated. The currently available analytical calculation methods and design guidelines are compared with numeric simulations and practical burst containment tests conducted by the Graz University of Technology.

previous chapter Rotors for Mobile Flywheel Energy Storage

next chapter Bearings for Flywheel Energy Storage

In [4], a density of 1608 kg/m³ is given for the composite rotor.

Price depends on rotor size, material, burst speed, and required preconditioning (balancing, heating, etc.) and may well exceed 5000 € in some cases. Information is based on personal experience with European companies offering spin tests.

The test flywheel with a diameter of 140 mm has a rim speed of around 220 m/s at 30,000 rpm. Within only a few millimeters (or centimeters at the most), the rotor fragments are slowed down to zero at impact.
