The space vector control of the synchronous motor in a flywheel energy storage system generally adopts inner and outer cascading loops, called a double-closed loop control structure. When charging, the speed current double closed-loop is generally used on the machine and grid sides.
A flywheel is a mechanical device that uses the conservation of angular momentum to store rotational energy, a form of kinetic energy proportional to the product of its moment of inertia and the square of its rotational speed. In particular, assuming the flywheel''s moment of inertia is constant (i.e., a flywheel with fixed mass and second ...
In China, the first flywheel energy storage device developed by Dunshi magnetic energy technology Co., Ltd. has passed the test and certification of Chinese Railway Product Quality Supervision and Testing Center, but it is also only suitable for DC750V urban rail.
One of the most hopeful new technologies for storing and setting the energy grid is the use of flywheel systems, also known as flywheel energy storage systems (FESSs) [14,15]. The system is generally composed of a flywheel, a motor/generator, and the control electronics for connection to an external electrical network.

Abstract: Motor-generators (MGs) for converting electric energy into kinetic energy are the key components of flywheel energy storage systems (FESSs). However, the compact diameters, high-power design features of MGs, and vacuum operating settings of FESSs cause the MG rotor''s temperature to increase, leading typical cooling water jackets to ...

In the 1950s, flywheel-powered buses, known as gyrobuses, were used in Yverdon (Switzerland) and Ghent (Belgium) and there is ongoing research to make flywheel systems that are smaller, lighter, cheaper and have a greater capacity. It is hoped that flywheel systems can replace conventional chemical batteries for mobile applications, such as for electric vehicles. Proposed flywhe…
A second class of distinction is the means by which energy is transmitted to and from the flywheel rotor. In a FESS, this is more commonly done by means of an electrical machine directly coupled to the flywheel rotor. This configuration, shown in Fig. 11.1, is particularly attractive due to its simplicity if electrical energy storage is needed.
The CVT is a Kopp type MS314 variator which allows variation of the flywheel speed over about a 9.5-1 ratio, from 440 to 4200 rpm. The flywheel operates within an evacuated containment vessel and has a moment of inertia of 1.05 kgrn2. Energy storage at 4200 rpm is estimated to be about 100 kJ.
