Flywheel Generator with Switched Reluctance Machine
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a flywheel energy storage system, which uses a switched reluctance motor/generator. It is shown how this device can be used either together with a DVR or alone in order to attenuate the effects of voltage sags and short interruptions. In order to improve the system efficiency, some design alternatives are presented. Finite elements analyses results, validated against laboratory measurements, indicate the advantages of a suitable choice of ferromagnetic material. The implementation of the control system was simulated with a commercial program. The energy loss, due friction, will be reduced using a superconducting magnetic bearing.
