Electromagnetic energy storage flywheel

What is a flywheel energy storage system (fess)?

As a vital energy conversion equipment, the flywheel energy storage system (FESS) [, , , , ] could efficiently realize the mutual conversion between mechanical energy and electrical energy. It has the advantages of high conversion efficiency [6, 7], low negative environmental impact [8, 9], and high power density [10, 11].

How does a flywheel energy storage system work?

A flywheel energy storage system (FESS) uses a high speed spinning mass (rotor) to store kinetic energy. The energy is input or output by a dual-direction motor/generator. To maintain it in a high efficiency, the flywheel works within a vacuum chamber.

What is a compact and highly efficient flywheel energy storage system?

Abstract: This article proposed a compact and highly efficient flywheel energy storage system. Single coreless stator and double rotor structures are used to eliminate the idling loss caused by the flux of permanent magnetic machines. A novel compact magnetic bearing is proposed to eliminate the friction loss during high-speed operation.

Can axial-type same pole motor be used as a flywheel energy storage system?

Ekaterina Kurbatova proposed a magnetic system for an axial-type same pole motor suitable as both motor/generator in combination with the integrated design of the motor/generator, which can be utilized in conjunction with the flywheel energy storage system.

How does a flywheel work?

The energy is input or output by a dual-direction motor/generator. To maintain it in a high efficiency, the flywheel works within a vacuum chamber. Active magnetic bearings (AMB) utilize magnetic force to support rotor's rotating shaft without mechanical friction. It also makes the rotor more dynamically controllable.

How does a fess flywheel work?

To maintain it in a high efficiency, the flywheel works within a vacuum chamber. Active magnetic bearings (AMB) utilize magnetic force to support rotor's rotating shaft without mechanical friction. It also makes the rotor more dynamically controllable. A prototype of FESS with AMBs was developed.
