Von einem Schwungmassenspeicher sind folgende Daten bekannt:
Rotormasse: 200 kg, Rotordurchmesser: 2,0 m (Vollzylinder), Drehzahl n: 60.000 /min.

Berechnen Sie die in der Schwungmasse gespeicherten Energie E.

Begründen Sie ob diese Auslegung technisch sinnvoll ist.

Im Falle eines Vollyzlendrs berechnen wir die
J = 0.5 x m x r^2

Bei einem Hohlzylinder
J = m x r^2

daraufhin nutzen wir die
Erot = 0,5 x J x w^2
um die Rotationsenergie in der Joule zu berechnen. Denn sollen wir durch 3600 teilen um die Wh zu bekommen.

# 14f Please tick the correct answers.  One of the disadvantages of battery storage systems for use in stationary systems is, that they are not capable of primary and secondary regulation.  Compared to short-term storage systems, medium-term energy storage systems must be able to be capable of providing energy in the range of one to ten hours with one or at most two cycles per day.  The economic viability of stationary storage depends very much on the power plant mix (share of fluctuating renewable energy and non-fluctuating renewable energy) and the costs of the storage technologies.  A peak load on the power grid is accompanied by a very strong increase in the demanded power, so that in order to balance supply and demand, rapidly controllable and demand, fast regulating peak load power plants have to be deployed.

2 and 3 and 4 The advantages of battery storage systems include primary and secondary controllability as well as the short amortization periods and thus lower economic risk. The so-called daily or medium-term energy storage systems are capable of providing energy in the range of one to ten hours. These are typically used for balancing within one day. In contrast, short-term storage units are suitable for rapid provision of power. The economically operable capacity of storages, depends very sensitively on  power plant mix (share of fluctuating renewable energy, non-fluctuating renewable energy).  grid expansion, especially transnational grid expansion  Cost of storage technologies  Amount of storage with dual use Peak load refers to short-term high demand for power in the electricity grid or in other supply networks. Peak demand is often characterized by a sharp increase in the amount of power demand, so that quickly controllable peak power plants have to be used for the power supply.

# 14f Please mark the correct answers with a cross.  Vertical network load is the sum of all feed-ins and outputs of the transmission network via directly connected transformers and lines to connected distribution networks and end users.  Decentralization of power generators in the transmission grid results in an additional load on the transmission grid.  Energy storage systems with short lifetimes and low efficiencies are attractive because of their low costs, are advantageous for use in the power grid.  In solar thermal power plants, mirrors are used to concentrate solar radiation and thus a high temperature is generated in a heat transfer medium, which is then used to used to evaporate water and drive steam turbines

1 and 4 Solution: Dropping unneeded loads when there is too little power available. Vertical network load corresponds to the sum of all inputs and outputs of the transmission network via directly connected transformers and transmission lines to connected distribution networks and end users. After a detailed analysis of the cost calculation for the energy storage systems, it turns out that only the storage technologies with short lifetimes or low efficiencies will result in high lead to high costs during their system lifetime.

The magnetic conductance can be assumed to be 4.9*10-7 Vs/Am can be assumed.  An energy of 450 Wh can be stored in this coil. At the same time a constant current of 40 A and an inductance of 0.5 H can be calculated. can be calculated.  If the ohmic resistance of this coil would be 50 Ohm and a constant current of current of 40 A, the power dissipation would be 65 kW.
