A design is presented for a small flywheel energy storage system that is deployable in a field installation. The flywheel is suspended by a HTS bearing whose stator is conduction cooled by connection to a cryocooler. At full speed, the flywheel has 5 kW h of kinetic energy, and it can deliver 3 kW of three-phase 208 V power to an electrical load.
While past applications of the flywheel have used conventional mechanical bearings that had relatively high losses due to friction, the development of magnetic bearings constructed using High Temperature Superconductors (HTSC) has greatly decreased the losses due to friction and increased efficiency immensely.
The correctness of the calculation results was verified by conducting electromagnetic analysis on the unit model of the electric suspension structure of the flywheel energy storage system, and comparing the analytical results with those obtained from 3D finite element simulation (Figs. 4 and 5).
