Description

Although the storage of energy from fossil fuels is correctly mastered, this is not the case for electricity. However, this choice represents an interesting solution for the future notably in order to absorb important variations in the transportation, housing and industry sectors. The inertia wheel is a storage component which is able to store and return electric energy in the form of kinetic energy. This application presents many advantages i.e. little sensitiveness to variations in temperature as well as a significant autonomy and life-cycle. However its technology remains rather complex which is aggravated by explosion hazards during use.

Abstract (French)

Le stockage de l'energie issue des combustibles fossiles est correctement maitrise, il n'en est pas de meme pour l'electricite. Pour autant, ce choix represente une solution interessante pour l'avenir, notamment pour absorber les variations importantes dans les secteurs du transport, de l'habitat et des industries. Le volant d'inertie est un composant de stockage dont la capacite est de stocker et de restituer de l'energie electrique sous forme d'energie cinetique. Ce dispositif presente beaucoup d'avantages: peu de sensibilite aux variations de temperature, une autonomie et une duree de vie importantes. Toutefois sa technologie reste assez complexe, aggravee par un risque d'explosion lors de son utilisation
