STORAGE SYSTEM FOR STORING ENERGY USEFUL IN STARTING AND REGULATING ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS

摘要

The invention relates to a system for storing energy for use in starters and controlling electrical systems, including: transmission means (8) for transmitting mechanical energy between an electric machine (9) and an energy storage device comprising at least one coil spring (1) disposed on a rotary shaft (4); and a braking and securing element (5) connected to the shaft (4) in order alternately to block the spring (1) or maintain same in a released position in which the electric machine (9) acts as a motor which rotates the rotary shaft (4) in a first direction, tightening the spring (1) so as to store mechanical energy, while the rotation of the shaft (4) in the opposite direction releases the mechanical energy stored in the spring (1) such that the transmission means rotate the electric machine (9) in order for same to operate as an electric generator.
