On the basis of results recently published, the present paper constitutes an overview on the application of solid elastic systems to mechanical energy storage and aims at assessing benefits and limits of this technology for what concerns energy density, power density, energy conversion and release.
Harvesting and storing energy is key problem in some applications. Elastic energy storage technology, especially the using of energy storage with spiral spring has many advantages in practical applications. The advantages include simple structure, high reliability, high storage density of energy, convenience to use, and technological maturity.
Compared with the traditional chemical battery, elastic energy storage does not automatically release energy due to self-discharge, therefore the energy can be stored for a much longer time and can be repeatedly stored and released.
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].
With the elastic energy storage–electric power generation system, grid electrical energy can drive electric motors to wind up a spiral spring group to store energy when power grid is adequate, and the stored energy can drive electric generators to generate electrical energy when power grid is insufficient. The working principle is shown in Fig. 2.
The working principle is shown in Fig. 2. Thus, elastic energy storage via spiral springs can improve the stability and controllability of power grid for supply and demand, improving the quality of power grid. It realizes energy transfer in time to meet the balance of energy supply and demand.
