This paper deals with the operation of a flywheel energy storage UPS. The UPS has good features such as long life-time, improved efficiency, no environmental problems, reduced size and space, and low maintenance cost compared with the conventional UPS using battery. The operating principle of the UPS is analysed in each mode including voltage compensation as well as uninterruptible power supply. Especially, the tracking characteristic of the disturbed phase of the source voltage after outage is analysed. The usefulness of the system is proved through simulations and experiments.

본 연구에서는 고효율, 반영구적인 수명 및 환경친화성으로 인해 효과적인 전력저장장치로 대두되고 있는 플라이휠 에너지 저장(SFES : Super-conductivity Flywheel Energy Storage) 시스템의 구동원으로 적용되는 전동발전시스템에 대한 설계, 제작 및 시험을 수행하였다. 전동발전기는 슬롯리플에 의한 와전류 손실이나 열손실을 고려하여 슬롯리스 Ring-wound형으로 선정하였으며, 전력변환기는 PWM Boost 컨버터를 통해 역률 및 DC 전압 제어 그리고 Full Bridge 인버터를 통해 전동발전기 고속운전 제어를 실현할 수 있는 Topology를 채택하였다.

Flywheel Energy Storage System(FESS) consists of a high speed flywheel with an integral motor/generator suspended on non contact bearings and in an evacuated housing. Permanent magnet machines as the FESS motor/generator are a popular choice, since there are no excitation losses which means substantial increase in the efficiency. In this paper, the structural design method of rotor retainer for a high speed motor/generator are presented.

본 논문에서는 초전도 플라이휠 에너지 저장장치 (Superconductor Flywheel Energy Storage System : SFES)의 에너지 변환을 위해 사용된 영구 자석형 전동 발전기(Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor/Generator : PMSM/G)가 SFES의 에너지 저장효율에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. SFES 시스템은 YBCO 벌크 초전도체를 이용한 저어널 타입(journal type)의 초전도 베어링을 사용하였으며, 슬롯리스 형 PMSM/G를 사용하였다. PMSM/G의 고정자 코어, 누설 자속 및 감겨진 코일에 의한 저장 에너지 손실을 측정하였다. 사용된 코어의 크기, 누설자속, 및 코일의 적절한 선정을 통하여 저장된 에너지의 손실을 상당히 줄일 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 영구자석과 코어가 동시에 회전하는 회전 코어형 전동발전기를 적용하여 에너지 손실을 매우 감소시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.

A flywheel system which can compensate electric power is presented. The designed system has a capability of providing real and imaginary power instantaneously as well as storing energy. In this paper, a control algorithm is designed. The designed algorithm is to control the secondary side current of the wound rotor induction motor using voltage-based PWM inverter. The flywheel system has advantages in converter size and power quality improvement comparing to the conventional system.

Flywheel energy storage systems (FESS) have advantages over other types of energy storage methods due to their infinite charge/discharge cycles and environmental friendliness. The system has two radial bearings and one hybrid-thrust bearing. Thrust hybrid-type bearing use permanent magnet to relieve gravity load. The radial bearings were designed to provide sufficient force slew rate considering the unbalance disturbance at the operating speeds. In this paper, we will derive dynamic model of hybrid-type bearing using permanent magnet for thrust bearing and present simulation and stability of the model.

This paper presents a S-FES(Superconducting magnetic becuing Flywheel Energy Storage System) for the p purpose of replacing battery used to store the energy. Especially, the design elements of FES, such as the b beming, wheel mateηaI, and power converter, etc., are described. The design and manufacturing techniques of t the controllable IXlwer converter are proposed to generate the sinusoidal output current in the high speed operation and to get the const빠synchronous motor with halbach cuTay of high coesive I\d-Fe-B permanent magnet is used as the driver of F FES. The proposed S-FES system shows the stable rotation characteristics at high speed range about l 10,000[rpm]. To verify the validity of proposed system, the comparative study with the conventional ball b beming s~rstem is proceeded and it is well confirmed with the result of the lower friction losses of S-FES S system.
