Energy storage for spiral electrical equipment

What is spiral spring energy storage?

Spiral spring energy storage harvests and stores random mechanical energy. Harvesting and storing energy is a key problem in some applications. Elastic energy storage technology has the advantages of wide-sources, simple structural principle, renewability, high effectiveness and environmental-friendliness.

What is elastic energy storage using spiral spring?

Based on energy storage and transfer in space and time, elastic energy storage using spiral spring can realize the balance between energy supply and demand in many applications, such as energy adjustment of power grid. Continuous input–spontaneous output working style.

What is the most common elastic energy storage device?

Spiral spring is the most common elastic energy storage device in practical applications. Humanity has developed various types of elastic energy storage devices, such as helical springs, disc springs, leaf springs, and spiral springs, of which the spiral spring is the most frequently-used device. Spiral springs are wound from steel strips [19, 20].

Can diamane spiral be used for mechanical energy storage?

This work proposes a spiral-based mechanical energy storage scheme utilizing the newly synthesized 2D diamane. Atomistic simulations show that diamane spiral can achieve a high theoretical gravimetric energy density of about 564 Wh kg −1, about 14 500 times the steel spring.

What is elastic energy storage – electric power generation system?

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.

What is a spiral spring used for?

Thus, spiral springs can be used to absorb and store stable, unstable, or random external energy, and they can add energy from natural or human power. For the energy output process of a spiral spring, when a tightly wound spiral spring is freely released, the stored energy can create a strong impact moment to drive a load with a rapid start.
