Electrical energy storage improves the stability and quality of electrical systems with imbalances between power production and custom load. Electrical energy storage techniques such as hydro pumps, compressed air, chemical batteries, supercapacitors, and flywheels have different technical features and possess manifold applications [1].
Flywheel (FW) saves the kinetic energy in a high-speed rotational disk connected to the shaft of an electric machine and regenerates the stored energy in the network when it is necessary . First use of FW regurgitates to the primitives who had applied it to make fire and later, FWs have been used for mechanical energy storage .
The combined functionality of batteries and flywheels will improve the efficiency, and reduce the spacecraft mass and cost . The proposed flywheel system for NASA has a composite rotor and magnetic bearings, capable of storing an excess of 15 MJ and peak power of 4.1 kW, with a net efficiency of 93.7%.
Boeing has developed a 5 kW h/3 kW small superconducting maglev flywheel energy storage test device. SMB is used to suspend the 600 kg rotor of the 5 kWh/250 kW FESS, but its stability is insufficient in the experiment, and damping needs to be increased .
Moreover, it boasts high temperature resistance, cost-effectiveness in manufacturing, reliability, and minimal maintenance requirements. However, its drawbacks include pronounced torque ripples, elevated noise levels, suboptimal efficiency, and notable rotor wind friction losses. 2.4.3. Permanent-Magnet Motors for Flywheel Energy Storage Systems
The design of the motor for flywheel energy storage mainly adopts the stator core, winding, magnet, and a matching optimization to improve the power and efficiency. The challenge in motor design is to reduce the loss of the permanent magnet motor rotor and prevent the failure of the motor caused by high-temperature rise. 3.3.
The use of new materials and compact designs will increase the specific energy and energy density to make flywheels more competitive to batteries. Other opportunities are new applications in energy harvest, hybrid energy systems, and flywheel’s secondary functionality apart from energy storage.
