Modelling the characteristics of the life-saving apparatus equipped with a flywheel energy storage unit

The article demonstrates the calculation of the innovative life-saving apparatus dynamic model parameters. This apparatus can be used in a fire emergency at the offshore drilling platforms. The novelty of the described device design lies in using the discharge energy by means of the flywheel energy storage unit in order to withdraw the survival capsule to the safe distance from the fire. The research shows that this design allows reducing the time expenditures for the rescue equipment maintenance, and the absence of necessity in power supply makes it more useful compared to the existing models for exploitation in emergency situations. We present a calculation and modelling the parameters that must be considered when designing the device. Based on the analysis of the models obtained we prove the correct operation of the suggested dynamic model from the viewpoint of safety.
