The Garrett Corporation has recently developed a large-scale, high-energy-density, composite flywheel energy storage unit for use in an electric vehicle propulsion system. This development makes composite flywheel technology a viable candidate for meeting the energy storage requirements of large spacecraft. The flywheel has a total energy storage capacity of 16 kW.hr, of which 12.5 kWhr are available as usable energy. This rating is suitable for use in multiple unit systems to meet the anticipated energy storage capacity requirements of flywheel energy storage capability, it will be technically feasible to use this unit design as the basis for a large-scale flywheel unit for spacecraft applications.
