Modeling of Dynamic and Economical Characteristics of Life-Saving Device with Flywheel Energy Storage

This article will initially consider the life-saving appliance dynamic model accompanied with computation and analysis of its variables. This life-saving appliance can be used in case of fire on the drilling platforms. The flywheel energy storage converts energy of descent to the rotational energy of the flywheel. After the launch, stored energy can be used to rotate the propeller of survival capsule to increase the distance from the fire. This kind of construction allows decreasing the number of maintenance operations. Moreover, there can be lack of energy in emergency cases. It points out one more profit of this appliance. This life-saving appliance is also analyzed from the economical point of view, and the authors have suggested an economical efficiency Criterion as a marker. The results of variables computation and modeling should be taking into account while developing the construction. The modeling analysis shows the great potential of this life-saving appliance as reliable and safe.
