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.

A superconductor flywheel energy storage system (SFES) is an electro-mechanical battery which transforms electrical energy into mechanical energy for storage, and vice versa. A 35 kWh class SFES module was designed and constructed as part of a 100kWh/1MW class SFES composed of three 35 kWh class SFES modules. The 35 kWh class SFES is composed of a main frame, superconductor bearings, a composite flywheel, a motor/generator, electro-magnetic bearings, and a permanent magnet bearing. The high energy density composite flywheel is levitated by the permanent magnet bearing and superconductor bearings, while being spun by the motor/generator, and the electro-magnetic bearings are activated while passing through the critical speeds. Each of the main components was designed to provide maximum performance within a space-limited compact frame. The 35 kWh class SFES is designed to store 35 kWh, with a 350 kW charge/discharge capacity, in the 8,000 ~ 12,000 rpm operational speed range.

Generally dual mass flywheel(DMF) is used as a solution to reduce noise and vibration of power train system and to improve the comfortability of passenger car. In this paper, design concept of new DMF model, analytical/numerical model, test procedure and tuning results are presented. Design parameters are studied by some numerical methods and tests. As the result, we can find more efficient model of DMF and reduce vibration level in power train system.

Radial Dual Mass Flywheel(RDMF) is designed to reduce torsional vibration and noise occurring in automotive powertrain. In this paper, finite element method is used to evaluate stress level and critical area of the torsional spring box, a major part of RDNF system. In finite element analysis, both static and dynamic loadings are considered and it is found that the most critical spot is the welded zone of spring box. Also, fatigue test is performed and fractured surfaces are examined to find fatigue stress level by experiment.

A vibration in a high-speed machine may lead to machinery malfunction and even catastrophic failure. So solving the vibration problem is a fundamental requirement for the stability of the high-speed machine. The flywheel energy storage system using superconducting magnetic bearings is a device to store electrical energy as rotational kinetic energy by motor and to convert it to electrical by generator when necessary. The high-speed rotating flywheel has large amplitude at a critical speed. And it has an unstable behavior by the electric torque at the first stage of the energy generation. In this paper, the stability analysis is performed with an analytical model and equations of motion-which is considered the effect of the electric torque-to identify the stable driving condition and the dynamic behavior.

This paper presents the double side PM synchronous motor/generator for core loss reduction in flywheel energy storage system. The use of double PM rotor causes the elimination of core loss in no-load state of machine. Because flywheel rotational speed is reduced by core loss, double PM rotor is very effective in flywheel system. This paper suggests two types of double side PM rotor, Halbach magnetized array and parallel magnetized array. And characteristic comparison according to thickness of rotor back core is performed.

In this paper, the relative stability of magnetic bearing system for the flywheel energy storage is evaluated using both simulation and experimental analysis. We make the simulation model for the magnetic bearing flywheel system using the rigid body shaft model. According to international standard ISO 14839-3, We experimentally analyzed the relative stability of magnetic bearing system. Additionally using both the simulation model and experimental tests, Phase margin and Gain margin is acquired through Nyquist plot.

This paper describes a study of major shipyard's electrical network and simulation of applying flywheel energy storage system on the electrical network at shipyard for shore-power to ships and offshore plants in order to save fuel consumption on engines, mitigate voltage sags, and prevent blackout due to pulsed load and fault, resulting in reduction of air emission into atmosphere. The proposed energy recycling method with FESS (Flywheel Energy Storage System) can be applied for electrical power system design of heavy cranes at shipyards.

The purpose of this study is to determine the general frequency expression for a rotating shaft of uniform cross section, supported by two bearings, and carrying flywheel at the free end. The bearing spacing and the ratio of the weight of flywheel to the total distributed weight are used as parameters. The data have thus been reduced to dimensionless form so that the results are generally applicable for this type of rotor. Frequencies for the first three modes of vibration are determined. Experimental investigation with rotor/flywheel model confirmed the critical speed frequencies lie between analytical models with simply supported-simply supported boundary conditions and spring supported-spring supported boundary conditions.
