Flywheel Energy Storage Systems (FESS) rely on a mechanical working principle: An electric motor is used to spin a rotor of high inertia up to 20,000-50,000 rpm. Electrical energy is thus converted to kinetic energy for storage. For discharging, the motor acts as a generator, braking the rotor to produce electricity.
Texas A&M University has developed a shaftless flywheel energy storage system [17,18] with a coreless motor/generator . The system is aimed at: To increase the recyclability and reduce the environmental impact of FESSs In the remainder of this paper, we first propose a simplified flywheel design criterion, considering rotor-shaft assembly.
Flywheel energy storages are commercially available (TRL 9) but have not yet experienced large-scale commercialisation due to their cost disadvantages in comparison with battery storages (higher investment, lower energy density). Another challenge is the comparably high standby loss in FESS caused by the magnetic drag of the motor-generator.
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.
