Energy storage technology is playing an important role in improving power grid stability and reliability. A scheme of mechanical elastic storage energy and power generation system has
With the elastic energy storage–electric power generation system, grid electrical energy can drive electric motors to wind up a spiral spring group to store energy when power grid is adequate, and the stored energy can drive electric generators to generate electrical energy when power grid is insufficient. The working principle is shown in Fig. 2.
On the basis of results recently published, the present paper constitutes an overview on the application of solid elastic systems to mechanical energy storage and aims at assessing benefits and limits of this technology for what concerns energy density, power density, energy conversion and release.
State of the art and discussion Elastic potential energy storage in components of mechanical systems occurs when they are deformed if forces are applied to the system. A well-known elastic component is a coiled spring. The elastic behavior of springs and elastic potential energy per unit volume can be found in literature [14-15].
The elastic energy storage device can be conveniently input energy by hand or motor and become a small capacity of energy source for short duration applications. It can produce a strong impact moment to drive a load with a rapid start because of the spontaneous release of stored energy.
Thus, elastic energy storage via spiral springs can improve the stability and controllability of power grid for supply and demand, improving the quality of power grid. It realizes energy transfer in time to meet the balance of energy supply and demand. Fig. 2. Working principle of elastic energy storage–electric power generation system.
Elastic energy storage has the advantages of simple structural principle, high reliability, renewability, high-efficiency, and non-pollution , , . Thus, it is easy to implement energy transfer in space and time through elastic energy storage devices.
