Technical FAQs 4

Can a compact flywheel energy storage system eliminate idling loss?

Abstract: This article proposed a compact and highly efficient flywheel energy storage system (FESS). Single coreless stator and double rotor structures are used to eliminate the idling loss caused by the flux of permanent magnet (PM) machines. A novel compact magnetic bearing is proposed to eliminate the friction loss during high-speed operation.

How can flywheels be more competitive to batteries?

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.

How does a flywheel energy storage system work?

Based on the aforementioned research, this paper proposes a novel electric suspension flywheel energy storage system equipped with zero flux coils and permanent magnets. The newly developed flywheel energy storage system operates at high speeds with self-stability without requiring active control.

Can axial-type same pole motor be used as a flywheel energy storage system?

Ekaterina Kurbatova proposed a magnetic system for an axial-type same pole motor suitable as both motor/generator in combination with the integrated design of the motor/generator, which can be utilized in conjunction with the flywheel energy storage system.
