This paper treated the design and performance test of high speed motor/generator used in the flywheel energy storage system. The unique characteristics of the motor in this paper is the it doesn't contain any magnetic material. The field system was constructed by using Halbach array that generates the magnetic field with the permanent magnet only. The armature was also composed of plastic bobbin and winding. This paper shows the design results have a good agreement with the experimental results.

Energy Saving is one of worldwide emerging issues. These days, applicable techniques of railway vehicle's regenerative energy are investigating in worldwide railway industries. Energy saving methods are "Downsizing energy loss" and "Re-utilizing kinetic energy". Useful plans for Downsizing energy loss are "adjusting operation table" and "optimizing running pattern". Furthermore, regenerative energy that is produced with decreasing speed and stoping, is an important element with reducing vehicle's weight, raising equipment 's efficiency, decreasing running resistance and re-configurating running pattern. Sustainable energy storage mass : Flywheel, EDLC(electrical double layer capacitor) and Secondary battery are applied in overseas, but these cases are not reported within the country. This research is reported for problems and economical validity that comes from by installing sustainable regenerative energy storage system in korean railway industries.

This paper describes two different systems which can compensate harmonic currents generated in a power system. As non-linear loads increase gradually in industry fields, harmonic current generated in the electric power network system also increases. Harmonic current makes a power network current distorted and generates heat, vibration and noise in the power machinery. Many approaches have been applied to compensate harmonic currents generated in the power system. Among various approaches, in this paper, two kinds are compared and evaluated. They are flywheel compensators bases on secondary excitation of WRIM(wounded rotor induction motor) and SCIM(squirrel cage induction motor). Both systems have a common structure. They use a flywheel as an energy storage device and use PWM inverters. The main differences are the size and rating of the converter used.

They use a flywheel as a energy storage device and use PWM inverters.

In renewable energy system such as flywheel energy storage system, wind power and solar power, the motor/generator is the important key for offering the electric energy to the electric loads. For example, the heavy and large flywheel is rotated by electromagnetic torque of pemanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) and, in case of a breakdown of electric current, the PMSM used as generator supplies electric energy for the various electric utilities using mechanical rotation energy of the flywheel. Thus, design of a motor/generator should be performed in effort to reduce cogging torque and electromagnetic loss for high efficiency. In our paper, a slotless permanent magnet synchronous motor/generator (SPMSM/G) with output power 15kW at the rotor speed 18000rpm is designed from electromagnetic analysis and dynamic performance analysis. In analytical approach, design parameters such as back electro-motive force (back EMF), inductance and electromagnetic torque are derived from analytical method which is one of the electromagnetic analysis method. And using the design parameters, this paper deal with system design considering the driving characteristics and electric load in required power. Finally, the analytical results are verified by the experiment and finite element method (FEM).

본 논문은 초전도 플라이휠 에너지 저장장치(Superconductor Flywheel Energy Storage System : SFES)의 고속회전 시험을 통하여 휠의 진동 특성을 평가 하였다. 초전도 베어링(Superconductor Magnetic Bearing : SMB)은 동작시키기 않고 플라이휠의 외부 외란이나 예측하지 못한 진동을 억제할 수 있도록 설치된 전자석 댐퍼(Electric Magnetic Damper : EMD) 만을 이용해 휠을 부양하고 고속회전 시험을 수행하였다. 이를 통하여 플라이휠의 고속 회전 운전영역에서 EMD는 충분한 진동억제 능력을 보임을 확인 하였다.

This paper treated the design and characteristics of high speed motor/generator with ring wound stator for the flywheel energy storage system. The most important advantages of the ring-wound motor is the slotless stator, i.e. no cogging torque, no space harmonic of air-gap flux density, etc. Because of these advantages, ring wound type motor is suitable to operate at the high speed.
