Vehicle braking in non-electrified rail systems wastes energy. Advanced flywheel technology presents a way to capture and reuse this braking energy to improve vehicle efficiency and so reduce the operating costs and environmental impact of diesel trains. This paper highlights the suitability of flywheels for rail vehicle applications, and proposes a novel mechanical transmission system to apply regenerative braking using a flywheel energy storage device. A computational model is used to illustrate the operation and potential benefits of the energy storage system.

A superconductor flywheel energy storage system (SFES) is an electro-mechanical battery which transforms electrical energy into mechanical energy for storage, and vice versa. Many aspects of the quasi-static behavior of flywheel rotors still need to be studied closely, and the rotors require a stable and highly efficient supporting system such as high temperature superconductor (HTS) bearings, which offer dynamic stability without the use of active control. Quasi-static properties of HTS bearings in the radial direction provide data to solve problems which may occur in a running system. Since stiffness in countering rotor vibration is the main parameter for designing an HTS bearing system, we investigated the quasi-static properties of the magnetic force between permanent magnets(PMs) and HTS bulks in the radial direction. We measured radial stiffness, and discovered that bearing stiffness varied greatly depending on the number of active HTS bulks. This is valuable data for predicting the change in stiffness during partial HTS bearing failure. The quasi-static test results are used for optimal design and performance prediction for the 100 kWh class superconductor bearing.

본 연구에서 동력 전달 시스템은 분리 축 방식의 가스 터빈 엔진의 축 동력을 발전기 전력으로 변환하여, 이것을 프로펠러를 구동하는 추력 모터에 공급하는 방식으로 구성되어있다. 여기에 사용된 가스 터빈 엔진은 엔진 축 마력 317shp(236kw)을 약110kw (147shp)으로 플랫 레이팅(flat rating) 하여 운용한다. 본 시험 장치의 엔진은 가스 터빈엔진 출력축과 발전기 사이에 부하 변화 시 댐핑(damping)역할을 할 수 있도록 플라이 휠(flywheel)을 장착하였다. 이 때 플라이휠의 적절한 관성 모멘트가 고려되지 않으면, 발전기와 모터는 부하 상승에 의한 엔진으로부터 요구되는 출력을 얻을 수 없으며, 또한 엔진이 정상적으로 작동하지 않음을 확인할 수 있다. 따라서 제공된 엔진 데이터와 엔진 시험 데이터로부터 동역학적인 천이 효과에 의한 성능 분석을 함으로써 관성 모멘트의 요구 범위를 결정하였다. 재설계한 플라이휠을 장착 시험한 결과, 본 시스템에서 요구한 출력을 얻을 수 있었다.

This study is concerned with structural integrity evaluations for the interference-fit flywheels in reactor coolant pumps (RCPs) of nuclear power plants. Stresses in the flywheel due to the shrinkage loads and centrifugal loads at the RCP normal operation speed, design overspeed and joint-release speed are obtained using the finite element method (FEM), where release of the deformation-controlled stresses as a result of structural interactions during rotation is considered. Fracture mechanics evaluations for a series of cracks assumed to exist in the flywheel are conducted, considering ductile (fatigue) and non-ductile fracture, and stress intensity factors are obtained for the cracks using the finite element alternating method (FEAM). From analysis results, it is found that fatigue crack growth rates calculated are negligible for smaller cracks. Meanwhile, the material resistance to non-ductile fracture in terms of the critical stress intensity factor (K$_{IC}$) and the nil-ductility transition reference temperature (RT$_{NDT}$) are governing factors for larger cracks.

본 논문은 에서는 5 kWh 복합재 플라이휠 로터를 설계/제작 하고, 회전 시 복합재 로터에 발생되는 변형률 분포와 로터의 파손 속도를 측정하기 위해 회전 시험을 수행하였다. 회전 시험 시 블루투스 방식의 무선 통신시스템을 이용하여 복합재 로터의 반경방향과 원주방향의 변형률을 실시간으로 측정하였다. 측정된 로터 변형률과 미리 예측된 로터 변형률을 비교하여 초기 로터 설계를 검증하였다. 복합재 로터는 파손속도인 22,000 rpm보다 11 %낮은 19,499 rpm에서 파손 되었다. 파손은 축과 복합재 로터를 연결하는 허브에서 발생하였다. 본 논문은 일반적인 관점에서 로터의 성능을 검증하였고, 고속 회전하는 복합재 로터의 예상치 않은 파손 위험을 입증하였다. 플라이휠 에너지 저장 시스템 설계 시 복합재 로터 뿐 아니라 허브 설계에도 특별한 주의가 요구된다. 플라이휠 에너지 저장 시스템을 실시간으로 관찰하기 위해서, 특히 높은 원심력을 받는 동안에도 작동 될 수 있는 무선 통신 시스템 개발이 앞으로 선행 되어야 한다.

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).

The energy storage systems are being widely researched for the electric power. The operations running in a vacuum chamber mainly consists of a composite flywheel rotor, superconductor bearings, a motor/generator and its controller. Among composed the apparatus, the floating magnet bearing consists of the ring-type permanent magnets with epoxy resin impregnation for reinforcement and surface protection. In order to storage as much energy as possible, the flywheel is supposed to be rotated with very high speed. The magnetic field is analyzed by using the Maxwell 2D/3D for the simulations.
