This paper reports on a trial of flywheel energy storage technology on a High Speed Two railway construction site in London, UK. Originally designed for Formula 1 racing cars, the system has the potential to improve the efficiency of electric-powered plant and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The trial application on a tower crane achieved savings of 44 t of carbon dioxide equivalent a year. It proved the technology works with mains power, cutting-edge generators and batteries. With improvements to telemetry, the system could now have wider use across the whole construction industry.

利用飞轮技术减少建筑工地排放

本文报道了英国伦敦高速二号铁路施工现场的飞轮储能技术试验。该系统最初是为一级方程式赛车设计的，具有提高电力工厂效率并减少温室气体排放的潜力。在塔式起重机上的试验应用，每年可减少 44 吨二氧化碳当量。事实证明，该技术适用于主电源、尖端发电机和电池。随着遥测技术的改进，该系统现在可以在整个建筑行业得到更广泛的应用。
