Period\uff1aApril\/2015<\/p>\n

The Railway Technical Research Institute (RTRI) has developed a superconducting flywheel energy storage system, as a next-generation power storage system, with support by NEDO. This is the world’s first superconducting magnetic bearing which uses superconducting material both for its rotor and stator, and is capable of supporting heavy weight, although it is a compact-sized system. The flywheel energy storage system is capable of storing energy in the form of kinetic energy by rotating a flywheel, and converting the rotating energy again to electricity. RTRI developed a superconducting magnetic bearing composed of a high-temperature superconducting coil and high-temperature superconducting bulk for the developed system. These enable the flywheel to be levitated by the superconducting magnetic bearing without contact. It is a very practical system, which enables stable fluctuating power generation such as PV over a long period. It has been connected to a solar power system and power grid of Tokyo Electric Power Company in Yamanashi Prefecture.<\/p>\n

Comments<\/p>\n

\nGHG emissions reduction potential<\/span>
\nCompared to hydro pumping, superconducting Flywheel Power Storage System will improve storage efficiency from 70% to 85%. With assumption that 1.2milion kW of flywheels will be deployed by 2040, the improvement by Superconducting Flywheel would bring about a 400 million kWh reduction of electricity consumption (around 200 thousand t-CO2) a year. <\/p>\n

Innovativeness<\/span>
\nThe project is innovative in that it is the first demonstration to use superconducting material both for rotor and bearing.<\/p>\n

Feasibility<\/span>
\nThe project demonstrates the technological feasibility of applying a superconducting material both for rotor and bearing.\n<\/div>\n
