Title1: Design and Testing of a Flywheel Battery for a Transit Bus

Published: 1999-03-01

Published by: Sae International

Abstract: The University of Texas at Austin Centre for Electro mechanics (UT-CEM)
has designed and tested a flywheel energy storage system conventionally referred to
as a flywheel battery (FWB) for power averaging on a hybrid electric transit bus. The
system incorporates a high speed (40,000 rpm) 150 kW permanent magnet motor
generator with magnetic bearings to levitate a 2 kWh composite flywheel. This paper
summarizes: design goals, required operating parameters, system design, analysis
completed prior to fabrication, and initial performance testing completed in the
laboratory. The paper includes information on the motor/generator, power
electronics, magnetic bearing sensors and controls, and FWB subsystems (including
containment). Finally, recommendations for continued testing are made along with
recommendations for improvements to the existing design.
Title2: Design and Performance Testing of an Advanced Integrated Power
System with Flywheel Energy Storage
Published: 2003-06-23

Published by: Sae International

Abstract: The University of Texas Centre for Electro mechanics (UT-CEM) has
completed the successful design , integration and testing of a hybrid electric power
and propulsion system incorporating a flywheel energy storage device. During
testing, the improved drive train was shown to double acceleration rates while
simultaneously reducing prime power usage in excess of 25% when compared to the
same vehicle without the flywheel energy storage system. While the system
was designed for and demonstrated on a transit bus, the technology described
herein is applicable to a wide variety of applications, including additional mobile and
marine power and propulsion systems. This paper (1) describes the drive
train design with an overview of the critical components and (2) presents results from
system-level testing of the transit bus with the integrated drive train.
Title3: Design, Fabrication, and Testing of 10 MJ Composite Flywheel Energy
Storage Rotors
Published: 1998-04-21

Published by: Sae International

Abstract:
This paper describes the design, fabrication, and spin testing of two 10 MJ
composite flywheel energy storage rotors. To achieve the demonstrated energy
density of greater than 310 kJ/kg in a volume of less than 0.05 m 3, the rotors utilize
flexible composite arbours to connect a composite rim to a metallic shaft, resulting in
compact, lightweight, high energy density structures.

The paper also describes the finite element stress and rotor dynamics analyses,
along with a description of the fabrication and assembly techniques used in the
construction of the rotor. A description of the experimental setup and a discussion of
spin testing of the rotors up to 45,000 rpm (965 m/s tip speed) are also presented.
Accurate measurements of rotor centrifugal growth made with laser triangulation
sensors confirmed predicted strains of greater than 1.2% in the composite rim.
Title4: Research on Flywheel Energy Storage System and Its Controlling
Technique
Published: 2003-03

Published by: IEEE Publications

In this paper, a Flywheel Energy Storage (FES) system applied to power system is
presented, which is composed of four parts: the flywheel that stores energy, the
bearing that supports the flywheel, the asynchronous motor/generator and the AC
power converter regulated by a microprocessor controller. A numerical model of the
asynchronous motor controlled by VVVF inverter is derived from its mathematical
model. The numerical model solved by Runge-Kutta method is used to simulate the
storing energy procedure of the FES system. This paper also presents studies on
experiments of the FES system storing energy and synchronous operation with
power system.
Title5: Research on flywheel energy storage system for power quality
Published: 17 Oct 2002

Published by: IEEE Publications

This paper presents a design of flywheel energy storage (FES) system in power
network, which is composed of four parts: (1) the flywheel that stores energy, (2) the
bearing that supports the flywheel, (3) the asynchronous motor/generator, and (4)
the AC power converter regulated by a microprocessor controller. The control
methods and strategy of the FES system for power quality are introduced in detail. A
new rapid method to calculate the amplitude of sinusoidal voltage and current is
presented which could improve the performance of the FES system. To realize the
high efficiency of the energy conversion and to minimize the torque ripple of the
motor/generator, the waveform of the AC power converter output currents is
controlled to be sinusoidal by using sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM)
control method. During the storage period, the AC power converter accelerates the
flywheel storing energy. At the generating times, the AC power converter drives the
flywheel to decelerate and then the kinetic energy is transformed into electric energy
and returned to power system. This paper also presents an experimental study of the
FES system storing energy and synchronous operating with power system, and the
control validity is verified through the experimental results.

Title6: Improvement of Stability of Wind Farms Connected to Power Grid


Using Flywheel Energy Storage System
Published: 2008-03

Published by: IEEE Publications

This paper presents research on the possibility of employing a flywheel energy


storage system (FESS) in a grid connected wind farm to enhance the performance of
its power quality and stability. A mathematic model of FESS based on equivalent
circuit for wind power generation system is built, and corresponding control strategy
is developed in which output active power and reactive power of wind farm are used
as control signals. Based on these models, taking the wind speed changed at
random, a simulation platform of FESS and wind farm is developed by using
Simulink of Matlab. Simulation results show that the program can achieve rapid
compensation of output active and reactive power of wind generator and the power
quality and stability of wind farm connected to power grid can be well improved by
flywheel energy storage
