The Enrichment Technology Applications Center (ETAC) was created to utilize unique enrichment program-based expertise and facilities for applications in other government programs and emerging technologies of national interest. Research and development activities are focused on high-performance flywheel energy storage systems, and early testing has demonstrated high speed capability using carbon composite flywheel rims. A burst speed of 1405 m/s was achieved with a 7.28 MJ flywheel demonstration unit. The specific energy of the rim in this demonstration unit was 878 kJ/kg (244 Wh/kg). Prior to this, flywheel rims had attained burst speeds of 1000 m/s with specific energy levels on the order of 105 Wh/kg. The Flywheel Energy Storage Program is aimed at developing a high-performance flywheel energy storage module with a total stored energy of one gigajoule; anticipated operating speed is in the range of 1100-1200 m/s.
