High-speed flywheel systems have been studied as compensators of voltage sags and momentary interruptions of energy. Besides the complexity of these systems, the main concerns are bearing losses. This work is part of the development of a superconducting high-speed flywheel energy storage prototype.

Small and medium-eked business, Cinderella of energy supply sector? Thorborg, L. Gas (Netherlands), Sep. 19%, 116, (9), 48-51. (In Flemish) The 'Energy Clients' feature focuses on customers of the energy supply sector. Attention is paid to the small and medium-sized business sector, for the energy distributron companies a hard and heterogeneous category customers. Consumer satisfaction among this group depends not just on energy saving advice; complaints handling, rates and tariffs, and supply failures are equally important.

For ages flywheels have been used to achieve smooth operation of machines. The early models where purely mechanical consisting of only a stone wheel attached to an axle. Nowadays flywheels are complex constructions where energy is stored mechanically and transferred to and from the flywheel by an in
A prototype of a flywheel system with auto stable high temperature superconducting bearings was built and tested. The bearings offered good vertical and lateral stability. A metallic flywheel disk, ~ 190 mm x 30 mm, was safely rotated at speeds up to 15000 rpm. The disk was driven by a 3 phase synch
