Abstract:

Large capacity power flywheel energy storage system is the high-quality frequency modulation resource of the power system. The primary technique for enhancing flywheel energy storage is the use of high-strength and low-density composite material to create flywheel rotors. In this study, the large-size composite flywheel rotor is taken as the object. Based on the elastic theory, the stress distribution formula of the anisotropic material rotor rim under high-speed rotation is obtained. The interference fit between the composite rim and the metal hub's stress analysis formula is obtained based on the principle of stress superposition, and an analytical solution is provided. Then the finite element analysis model of interference fit between the composite rim and metal hub is established, and the stress distribution of the rotor is simulated and analyzed. The simulation results are consistent with the analytical results, which confirm the rationality of the model. Finally, the impact of interference on the stress of the contact surface between the metal hub and the composite rotor rim as well as the impact of the flywheel rotor's deformation at a specific speed are investigated.
