What are the functions of elastic storage device using spiral spring?

The principal functions of elastic storage device using spiral spring are 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.

What is electrical energy storage (EES)?

Electrical Energy Storage, EES, is one of the key technologies in the areas covered by the IEC. EES techniques have shown unique capabilities in coping with some critical characteristics of electricity, for example hourly variations in demand and price.

What are the benefits of large-scale electrical energy storage systems?

Certainly, large-scale electrical energy storage systems may alleviate many of the inherent inefficiencies and deficiencies in the grid system, and help improve grid reliability, facilitate full integration of intermittent renewable sources, and effectively manage power generation. Electrical energy storage offers two other important advantages.

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].

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 the free release of stored energy in a spiral spring?

The free release of stored energy in a spiral spring is spontaneous, during which the stored energy can be released completely in a very short time and the output speed and torque change rapidly.
