For the application into a 1 kWh flywheel energy storage system(FESS), this paper presents the design scheme of radial and axial hybrid magnetic bearings which use bias fluxes generated by permanent magnets. In particular, the axial hybrid magnetic bearing is newly proposed in this paper, in which a permanent magnet is arranged in axial direction so that it can support the rotor weight as well as provide a bias flux for axial magnetic bearing. Such hybrid magnetic bearings consume very low power, compared with conventional electromagnetic bearings. In this paper, to stably support a 140 kg flywheel rotor without contact, design process is explained in detail, and magnetic circuit analysis and three-dimensional finite element analysis are carried out to determine the design parameters and predict the performance of the magnetic bearings.

A 500Wh class high-speed Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS) driven by a built-in BLDC motor/generator has been designed, which runs from 30000 to 60000rpm nominally. Due to the motor/generator inside, the flywheel rotor made of composites supported by PM/EM hybrid bearing system has a shape of bell or pendulum and thus requires accurate rotordynamic analysis and prediction of its dynamic behavior to secure the operating reliability. Rotordynamic analyses of the flywheel rotor-bearing system revealed that the bell shaped rotor has two conical rigid-body modes in the system operating range and the first conical mode, of which nodal point lies in the radial EM bearing position, can adversely affect the dynamic response of the rotor at the corresponding critical speed. To eliminate the possibility of wild behavior of the rotor, two guide bearings are adopted at the upper end of the rotor and motor/generator. It was also revealed that the EM bearing stiffness if 0.5~1.0E+6 N/m and damping of 2000 Ns/m are favirable for smooth operation of the system around the 2nd critical speed.

A horizontal axle-type superconductor flywheel energy storage system has many great features such as extensibility and stability compared to the traditional vertical axle-type flywheel systems. In this paper, a prototype flywheel device with a horizontal axle is presented briefly, and the hybrid construction as an essential supplement in superconductor journal bearing design against the levitation drift is proposed.

The purpose of Superconducting Magnetic Bearing Flywheel Energy Storage System (SMB-FESS) is to store unused nighttime electricity until it is needed during daytime. An analytical model of the SMB-FESS is necessary to identify the system behavior. At first, we have to model the superconducting magnetic bearing. Modeling the SMB is same as estimating the bearing parameter. The theoretical modal parameter is calculated through the equation of motion and the experimental modal parameter is estimated through the impact testing (modal testing). The bearing parameter is searched by using the non-linear least square method until the theoretical result corresponds to the experimental result. The suggested modeling method is verified by comparing experimental and analytical frequency response function.

본 논문은 연료전지와 플라이윌 저장 시스템용을 결합한 복합전원으로 하는 연료전지 발전 시스템의 전력변환장치 연구에 관한 것이다. 이를 위한 전력변환장치는 연료전지로부터 저전압을 상승시키기 고조파 DC-DC 컨버터 이를 안정된 교류전원으로 변환하기 위한 DC-AC 인버터 및 플라이휠에 에너지 회생과 재생하기 위한 DC-AC 컨버터로 구성된다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 UPS 시스템은 AC 발전기 및 배터리를 백업 전원으로 사용하는데 맡은 유해 물질을 발생시키지만, 이 시스템을 사용하면 환경 오염, 높은 효율 및 대용량에 적합하다. 또한, 시뮬레이션을 통하여 연료전지 발전 시스템에 과부하시 안정하게 출력 성능을 가지도록 Fly-Wheel 시스템을 적용한 모의실험 결과를 제시한다.

에너지 저장 방식은 양질의 전원이 요구되는 중요 부하를 보호하기 위해 꾸준히 개발되어 왔다. 그 중 현재 가장 관심 있는 분야 중 하나인 것은 bridging power 시스템이다. 이 bridging power 시스템은 25kW에서부터 2,500k범위까지 다양한 제품이 용도에 맞게 출시되고 있다. Bridging Power 방식들은 4가지로 크게 요약될 수 있다. 즉, 저/고속의 플라이휠, 배터리, ultra capacitors 및 magnetic storage 기술 등이다. 이 논문은 bridging power 시스템의 개요에 대해 설명하고, 주요 기능 감시 시스템의 특징 및 장/단점에 대해 기술했으며, 현재 EPRI와 EPRI PEAC과 함께 TVA Public Power Institute가 제공하는 R&D 활동에 대해 요약하였다.
