Squeeze film dampers(SFDs) are designed and analyzed for radial superconducting bearings. The designed SFDs are mounted on the superconductors submerged in liquid nitrogen such that the dampers should supply additional damping to the relatively underdamped superconducting bearing support. Basic theory of SFD with superconducting bearing are introduced. Rotordynamic simulations are provided to support the feasibility of the superconducting magnetic bearings mounted on SFDs for a horizontal flywheel energy storage system.

Torque fluctuation of the engine and angular velocity variation of propeller shaft is the main excitation source for torsional vibration in the vehicle driveline. Experimental model for engine system is constructed with 4 cylinder 4 cycle diesel engine including Motor-Propeller Shaft-Axle-Wheel system. The angular velocity is measured by magnetic pickup and FV converter at the engine flywheel and propeller shaft. This paper presents the theoretical mechanism of these excitation sources and it is identified by the experimental methods.

The wear properties of clutch facing materials with two different copper amounts were evaluated against the fly-wheel materials used in clutch system, such as gray cast iron and spheroidal graphite cast iron. Sliding wear tests were carried out for four different combinations with these clutch facing materials and flywheel materials at different speeds and applied loads. Results showed that the clutch facing material contained a higher copper amount had the better wear resistance. And using the gray cast iron as the counter material, clutch facing material resulted in the much lower wear rate, regardless of the copper amount. It is obvious that the wear properties of clutch facing material are influenced from the thermal conductivities of the clutch facing material and the counter material.

For designing a flywheel system using superconductor, it is necessary to understand the basic characteristics of the classical superconductor bearing. It is difficult to expect the characteristics of superconductor bearings using models that have been introduced up to now. In the "Frozen image" concept, the farce between the permanent magnet and the superconductor can be divided into two forces between permanent magnet and two imaginary magnets in the superconductor; one represents attraction farce and the other represents a repulsion force. We calculated the characteristics of two superconductor bearings, such as an axial, the radial stiffness and the levitation force. This calculation method was very helpful to expect the characteristics of the superconductor bearings. Using this model, we established the optimum condition for the superconductor bearing.r bearing.

This paper presents the development and balancing control of GYROBO, a one wheeled mobile robot system. GYROBO is a disc type one wheel mobile robot that has three actuators, a drive motor, a spin motor, and a tilt motor. The dynamics and kinematics of GYROBO are analyzed, and simulation studies conducted. A one-wheeled robot, GYROBO is built and its balancing control is performed. Experimental studies of GYROBO's balancing abilities are conducted to demonstrate the gyroscopic effects generated by the spin and tilt angles of a flywheel.

In this paper, we develop a single wheeled robot that has one wheel to move. The single wheel robot is similar to a rolling disk relying on gyroscopic motions to balance. The Gyrobo consists of three actuators: a spin motor, a tilt motor and a drive motor. The spin motor spins a flywheel at high rate so that it provides the balancing stability to upright the robot. The tilt motor controls steering of the robot by gyroscopic effect. The drive motor make forward accelerated motion to the robot. We have built and tested the Gyrobo to turn and move forward.

Electro-Mechanical Batteries have important advantages compared with chemical batteries, especially in Low Earth Orbit satellites applications. High speed, slotless, external rotor, brushless DC machines are proposed and used in these systems as Motor/Generator. A simplified analytic design method is given for this type of machines and, the optimization of machine in order to have maximum efficiency and minimum volume and weight are given in this paper. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is used as the optimization algorithm and the finite element-based simulations are used to confirm the design and optimization process and show less than 6% error in parametric design.

This paper presents the development of 15G(Integrate Starter Generator). The ISG is the crank shaft mount type and it is installed at tile flywheel. The wide operating range of ISG requires large constant power speed ratio, good overload performance and high efficiency. High saliency ratio permanent magnet motor is developed for the ISG applications and 500A MOSFET inverter is designed to derive the ISG. The characteristic of developed ISG is investigated using the special test-bed for the 42V PowerNet and the detailed results is presented

플라이휠 에너지 저장장치는 회전하는 물체에 에너지를 저장하고 이 에너지를 필요 시 기계적인 에너지를 변환하여 전기적 축전지이다. 플라이휠은 무정전전원장치의 직류측의 단자에서 전원을 받아 충전되며, 무정전전원장치의 입력 AC전압이 차단되어 UPS DC bus전압이 설정 값 이하로 떨어지면 저장 되어 있는 에너지를 전력변환 모듈에 의해 DC로 변환하여 UPS에 공급한다. 또한 전압 Sag, 전압의 불평형, 순간정전 및 고조파에 의한 정전에 대비하여 축전지와 플라이휠 에너지 저장장치를 조합하여 운용할 경우 축전지와 UPS의 DC BUS가 전기적으로 절연이 되어 개별 축전지 구성과 동일한 동작이 되도록 구성으로 축전지의 방전 횟수를 감소함으로써 축전지의 수명도 연장 할 수 있습니다.

We are interested in this paper on the control of an electromechanical system consisting of a doubly-fed induction generator(DFIG), driven by a prime mover that can supply or extract mechanical power, e.g., a flywheel inertia, and an induction motor(IM). The stator of the Induction machine is connected to the stator of the generator whose rotor voltage is regulated by a bidirectional converter. The main interest of this configuration is that it permits a bidirectional power flow between the motor, which may operate in regenerative mode, and the generator We propose a passivity-based controller to regulate the motor mechanical speed. Since this kind of controllers achieve stabilization via energy balancing, regulation of the power flow in the system is naturally incorporated. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the main points of our paper.
