This paper deals with the experimental evaluation on power loss of a double-side permanent magnet synchronous motor/generator (DPMSM/G) applied to a flywheel energy storage system (FESS). Power loss is one of the most important problems in the FESS, which supplies the electrical energy from the mechanical rotation energy, because the power loss decreases the efficiency of energy storage and conversion of capability FESS. In this paper, the power losses of coreless DPMSM/G are separated by the mechanical and rotor eddy current losses in each operating mode. Moreover, the rotor eddy current loss is calculated by the 3-D finite element analysis (FEA) method. The analysis result is validated by separating the power loss as electromagnetic loss and mechanical loss by a spin up/down test.

플라이휠 에너지 저장 장치(Flywheel Energy Storage System, FESS)은 회전 운동 에너지를 저장하는 플라이휠 부분과 저장된 회전 에너지를 전기 에너지로 변환시키는 전동기/발전기 부분으로 구성된다. 일반적으로 플라이휠의 회전축은 전동기 및 발전기의 회전축과 동축 일체형으로 연결되고, 이때 전동기 및 발전기의 전자기 토크특성에 따른 동특성 변화는 전체 플라이휠 에너지 저장 장치의 충방전 특성과 기계적인 출력에 영향을 미친다. 본 논문에서는 5[kWh] 급 플라이휠 에너지 저장 장치 용 3상 유도전동기의 설계방법과 회전자 슬롯 수 변화에 따른 토크리플 특성과 고조파 영향을 중점적으로 분석하였다. 먼저, 플라이휠 에너지 저장 장치의 용량과 관성 모멘트에 의한 회전운동에너지의 관계식으로부터 플라이휠 크기와 전동기의 회전자 크기를 산정하는 방법을 제안하였다. 또한 플라이휠 에너지 저장 장치의 회전축의 고속구동 조건을 반영하여, 고속운전 영역에서의 전동기 토크리플 저감을 위한 유도전동기 회전자 슬롯수를 선정하였다. 이로부터 본 논문에서는 전동기 회전축과 동축으로 구성된 플라이휠의 소음 진동을 줄이고 고효율 충방전 특성을 구현하고자 한다.

The flywheel energy storage system using superconducting magnetic bearings is a device to store electrical energy as rotatioal kinetic energy by motor and to convert it to electrical energy by generator when it is necessary. The rotordynamic analysis should be performed with an adequate analytical model and equations of motion to identify the stable driving condition and the dynamic behavior. The critical speed and the unbalance response of superconducting magnetic bearings-flywheel system are studied in this paper. The analytical results show that the system has one forward whirling mode and two backward whirling models below 500rpm. The maximum displacement 0.75mm is detected at the first forward mode (385rpm)through unbalance response analysis. The analytical results are compared with the experimental result by the spin-down test. The experimental result shows that the maximum displacement is 0.7mm at 370rpm.

In this paper, we designed Active Magnetic Bearing (AMB) for large scale Superconductor Flywheel Energy Storage System (SFESS) and PD controller for AMB. And we experimentally evaluated SFESS including hybrid type AMB. The radial AMB was designed to provide force slew rate that was sufficient for the unbalance disturbances at the maximum operating speed. The thrust AMB is a hybrid type where a permanent magnet carries the weight of the flywheel and an electromagnetic actuator generates the dynamic control force. We evaluated the design performance of the manufactured AMB through comparison of FEM analysis and the results of experimental force measurement. In order to obtain gains of PD controller and design a notch filter, the system identification was performed through measuring frequency response including dynamics for the AMBs, a power amp and a sensor using a sine swept test method after levitating the flywheel. Through measuring the current input of the AMBs and the orbit of a flywheel according to rotational speed, we verified excellent control performance of the AMBs with small amount current for the large scale SFESS.

This study aims to develop a Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS) that uses wind power produced when an urban train is in motion, by utilizing a mounted turbine. This system was designed to generate and store electric power from wind power of a travelling urban train. The flywheel was designed to continue rotation using a one-way clutch bearing installed in the turbine shaft pulley, even in cases where the urban train decelerates or stops. This FESS can generate an additional 44% of electric power in comparison to a system not equipped with a flywheel. The generated power and operational features of the FESS were evaluated and verified through a wind tunnel test. The results show that the electric power stored in the FESS could supply auxiliary power for urban train components or service equipment, such as charging mobiles, Wi-Fi modules, and electric lights.

Flywheel Energy Storage System(FESS) consists of a high speed flywheel with an integral motor/generator suspended on non contact bearings and in an evacuated housing. Permanent magnet machines as the FESS motor/generator are a popular choice, since there are no excitation losses which means substantial increase in the efficiency. In this paper, the structural design method of rotor retainer for a high speed motor/generator are presented.

A horizontal axle-type superconductor flywheel energy storage system has many great features such as extensibility and stability compared to the traditional vertical axle-type flywheel systems. In this paper, a prototype flywheel device with a horizontal axle is presented briefly, and the hybrid construction as an essential supplement in superconductor journal bearing design against the levitation drift is proposed.

Flywheel energy storage systems (FESS) have advantages over other types of energy storage methods due to their infinite charge/discharge cycles and environmental friendliness. The system has two radial bearings and one hybrid-thrust bearing. Thrust hybrid-type bearing use permanent magnet to relieve gravity load. The radial bearings were designed to provide sufficient force slew rate considering the unbalance disturbance at the operating speeds. In this paper, we will derive dynamic model of hybrid-type bearing using permanent magnet for thrust bearing and present simulation and stability of the model.
