A Superconductor Flywheel Energy Storage System(SFES) mainly consists of a pair of non-contacting High Temperature Superconductor(HTS) bearings that provide very low frictional losses, a composite flywheel with high energy storage density. The HTS bearings, which offer dynamic stability without active control, are the key technology that distinguishes the SFES from other flywheel energy storage devices, and great effort is being put into developing this technology. The Superconductor Journal Bearing(SJB) mainly consists of HTS bulks and a stator, which holds the HTS bulks and also acts as a cold head. Static properties of HTS bearings provide data to solve problems which may occur easily in a running system. Since stiffness to counter vibration is the main parameter in designing an HTS bearing system, we investigate SJB magnetic force through static properties between the Permanent Magnet(PM) and HTS. We measure stiffness in static condition and the results are used to determine the optimal number of HTS bulks for a 100kWh SFES.

Faults on power systems are inevitable phenomena. These faults can be classified by two categories, temporary and permanent faults. Without distinction of fault types, the faults would induce several changes on power system such as transmission line trip. Especially, the most common phenomena which loads experience by the power system fault is voltage sag. Voltage sags mean that the bus voltage maintains under 0.9 p.u. of rating for several cycles, and they give serious effects to operation of load devices. To ensure proper operation of the load, the flywheel systems, one of the energy storage system, are suggested in this paper. This paper demonstrates the efficiency of flywheel energy storage system against voltage sag by PSCAD/EMTDC simulation.

A new type of flywheel energy storage system that has a horizontal axle with High $T_c$, superconductor bearings using Y123 single-domained crystals was developed.The dynamic Properties, stiffness and damping of the high $T_c$, superconductor radial bearings were experimentally estimated using a imbalance excitation method. The imbalance excitation method applied to this rotor- bearing system identified the identified stiffness and damping of the high temperature superconductor beatings to be 2.8 $3.3 {\times} 10^5 N/m and 775 204$ Nsec/m respectively.

Vehicle braking in non-electrified rail systems wastes energy. Advanced flywheel technology presents a way to capture and reuse this braking energy to improve vehicle efficiency and so reduce the operating costs and environmental impact of diesel trains. This paper highlights the suitability of flywheels for rail vehicle applications, and proposes a novel mechanical transmission system to apply regenerative braking using a flywheel energy storage device. A computational model is used to illustrate the operation and potential benefits of the energy storage system.

본 논문은 도서지역에서 운용되고 있는 풍력-디젤 하이브리드 발전시스템의 풍속변화 등으로 인한 주파수변동 문제를 해결할 수 있는 플라이휘일 저장장치의 모델링 및 제어기 설계 방법을 제안하였다. 플라이휘일 저장장치는 효율측면에서 유리한 영구자석 동기기형 플라이휘일로 선정하여 모델링하였고, 주파수보상 제어기는 AC/DC/AC 양방향컨버터로 구성하되 동기기측 컨버터는 연계계통의 주파수변동에 대하여 충방전운전을 하도록 하고, 계통측 컨버터는 직류버스전압 일정제어를 통하여 출력을 하도록 설계하였다. 제안된 모델링 및 제어기 설계방법을 풍력-디젤 하이브리드 독립운전계통에 적용한 결과 풍속변화에 따른 주파수변동을 적정범위내로 유지할 수 있었다.

In this paper, the rotational loss of the superconductor flywheel energy storage system (SFES) by motor/generator stator core was assessed. To do this, the vertical axial type SFES with journal type superconductor bearing was manufactured. To quantitatively assess the rotational loss by the stator core, the rotational losses by superconductor bearing and the degree of a vacuum were measured. In case of variation of the inner radius and outer radius of the stator core, the rotational losses were measured. From the experimental results, It is confirmed that the rotational loss can be reduced by means of the optimal stator core design.

In this paper, a design problem of the flywheel energy storage system controller using genetic algorithm (GA) is investigated for a frequency control of the wind diesel hybrid power generation system in an isolated power system. In order to select parameters of the FESS controller, two performance indexes are used. We evaluated a frequency control effect for the wind diesel hybrid power system according to change of the weighted values of a performance index. To verify performance of the FESS controller according to the weighted value of the performance index, the frequency domain analysis using a singular value bode diagram and the dynamic simulations for various weighted values of performance index were performed. To verify control performance of the designed FESS controller, the eigenvalue analysis and the dynamic simulations were performed. The control characteristics with the two designed FESS controller were compared with that of the conventional pitch controller. The simulation results showed that the FESS controller provided better dynamic responses in comparison with the conventional controller.

This paper presents the double side PM synchronous motor/generator for core loss reduction in flywheel energy storage system. The use of double PM rotor causes the elimination of core loss in no-load state of machine. Because flywheel rotational speed is reduced by core loss, double PM rotor is very effective in flywheel system. This paper suggests two types of double side PM rotor, Halbach magnetized array and parallel magnetized array. And characteristic comparison according to thickness of rotor back core is performed.
