Sub-Area. 2.5 Demonstration of Promising Energy Storage Technologies Project Type. Flywheel Energy Storage Demonstration Revision: V1.0

[摘要] In this program, Amber Kinetics designed, built, and tested a sub-??scale 5 kWh engineering prototype flywheel system. Applying lessons learned from the engineering prototype, Amber Kinetics then designed, built and tested full-??size, commercial-??scale 25 kWh flywheel systems. The systems underwent basic functional qualification testing before being installed, sequentially, at the company???s outdoor test site in Alameda, CA for full-??speed field-testing. The primary considerations in testing the prototype units were to demonstrate the functionality of the system, verify the frequencies of resonant modes, and quantify spinning losses and motor/generator efficiency.
