چکیده
The paper reports on the investigation and development of the flywheel device as a energy storage system (FESS). The FESS is designed to operate in a vacuum and is supported on a low energy controlled active magnetic bearings (AMBs). The goal was to design and experimentally test the self integrated flywheel conception with a smart control of the flywheel rotor magnetic suspension. The low power control approach, with the reduced bias current, of the flywheel active magnetic bearings is used. The weighting functions are designed in order to meet robust control conditions. The laboratory investigations of the flywheel with high gyroscopic effect operated at low speed met the control and energy performances requirements.

H∞ Robust Controller Design and Experimental Analysis of Active Magnetic Bearings with Flexible Rotor System
H∞ controller for active magnetic bearings (AMBs) with flexible rotor system was designed in this paper. The motion equations of AMBs and flexible rotor system are built based on finite element methods (FEM). Weighting function matrices of H∞ controller for AMBs are studied for both the sensitivity and the complementary sensitivity of H∞ control theory. The simulation shows that the H∞ control ...

The robust control of active magnetic bearings, based on a linearised interval model, is considered. Through robust stability analysis, all the first-order robust stabilizing dynamical compensators for the interval system are obtained. Disturbance attenuation and minimum control effort are also addressed. The approach is applied to a high-speed flywheel supported by two active and two passive m...

Flywheel Energy Storage System with Homopolar Electrodynamic Magnetic Bearing*
.Abstract – The goal of this research was to evaluate the potential of homopolar electrodynamic magnetic bearings for flywheel energy storage systems (FESSs). The primary target was a FESS for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, however, the design can also be easily adapted for Earth-based applications. The main advantages of Homopolar Electrodynamic Bearings compared to more conventional Active...
