Abstract


Advanced flywheels are very effective and advantageous energy storage systems. For exchanging the energy a Permanent magnet synchronous machine (to work as motor/generator) is coupled to it.   The motor/generator draws power provided by the grid to accelerate it up to the required speed. The frictionless system keeps the rotor of the flywheel spinning for a long period.. The flywheel get decelerate for the different load condition is obtained in the MATLAB Software. Flywheel operates in charging mode as positive torque is applied and in discharging mode as negative torque is applied.

I. INTRODUCTION



        Traditional flywheel rotors are usually constructed of steel and are limited to a spin rate of a few thousand revolutions per minute (RPM). Advanced flywheels constructed from carbon   fiber materials and magnetic bearings can spin in vacuum at speeds up to 40,000 to 60,000 RPM. The stored energy is proportional to the moment of inertia and to the square of the rotational speed by eq.(1). High speed flywheels can store much more energy than the conventional flywheels.
                                         (1)
Where the Ek   is the energy store in the  flywheel ,J is moment of  inertia , ω is the angular velocity  of the flywheel. High speed flywheel systems are designed to minimize losses in the system so that power is able to be pulled from the system for the longest possible time .
        There are a number of advantages  that make flywheels useful for applications where other storing units are now used.
- High power density.
-  High energy density.
- The lifetime of the flywheel is almost independent    of the depth of the discharge and discharge cycle. It can operate equally   well on shallow and on deep discharges.
- Short recharge time.
-  Scalable technology and universal localization.
-Environmental friendly materials, low environmental impact.

           Literature present that advanced flywheel has many application like  uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), dynamic voltage compensators, overload compensators, and start-up of standby diesels. This paper explain flywheel, PMSM, deceleration characteristic of the flywheel at different load condition[1],[3].
                      
   II.   FLYWHEEL

          A flywheel stores energy in a rotating mass. Depending on the inertia and speed of the rotating mass, a given amount of kinetic energy is stored as rotational energy. The flywheel is placed inside a vacuum containment to eliminate friction-loss from the air and suspended by bearings for a stabile operation. Kinetic energy is transferred in and out of the flywheel with an electrical machine that can function either as a motor or generator depending on the load angle (phase angle). When acting as motor, electric energy supplied to the stator winding is converted to torque and applied to the rotor, causing it to spin faster and gain kinetic energy. In generator mode kinetic energy stored in the rotor applies a torque, which is converted to electric energy. The differential equation describing the behavior of the flywheel system is given by eq. (2) to understand how to arrange the elements.

                   Te = J p wm + fm wm                               (2)
Here  the motor torque tends to accelerate the flywheel and the frictions tend to slow it down.  The eq.(3) show the  electrical representation of a torque (voltage), source moving the series combination of an inertia (inductor), and a friction (resistor)[2],[6].

              v = Lpi + ri                                         (3)


according to the electrical analogy theory the mechanical side can be represented by an equivalent electric circuit as shown in Fig. 2.  

Fig. 1:  Electrical analogy representation of  the flywheel.

The voltage across the terminals of each element represents the torque actually applied to it and the current through each element represents the speed of the shaft. This circuit clearly illustrates the power dissipated due to the frictional losses and the energy stored in the inertia and the mechanical power delivered by the motor. The voltage across the inertia represents J times the acceleration of the motor shaft.
  
III.     PERMANENT MAGNET SYNCHRONOUS      MACHINE

            The permanent magnet synchronous machine (M/G) is a key component of the flywheel system because the energy conversion from the electrical form to the mechanical during the charge (motor) mode and from the mechanical form to the electrical during the discharge (generator) mode happens inside the M/G. The effectiveness of the energy conversion process mainly depends on the efficiency of the M/G  It exhibit lower rotor losses and lower winding inductances, which make it more suitable for a vacuum operating environment and the rapid energy transfer of flywheel applications. cross-section of the simplified three-phase surface mounted PMSM is shown in fig 3 [4],[7]. The stator windings, as-as’, bs-bs’, and cs-cs’ are shown as lumped windings for simplicity, but are actually distributed about the stator. Electrical rotor speed and position, ωr θr and  are defined as P/2 times the corresponding mechanical quantities, where P is the number of poles. Based on the above motor definition, the voltage equation in the abc stationary reference frame is given by    (4)



  =                            (4)

          Fig. 2:  Cross section of the PMSM            
  


The flux linkages equation can be expressed by
                  =     +                                 (5)            
     Where, Rs  is stator  resistance of motor, Ls  is stator self inductance, λ is PM flux linkages and its magnitude is given by      denotes the amplitude of the flux linkages established by the PM as viewed from the stator phase windings. The electromagnetic torque may be written as
    =  ( )   [ (    )cos(θr)           -   ( )sin(θr) ] }                                    (6)  
 The above expression for torque is positive for motoring operation. The torque and speed are  related by the electromechanical motion equation given by  (7).  
                                          (7)
      
   Where J  in kg.m2 is  the inertia of the rotor and the coupled flywheel. p is the derivative operator and the constant, fm is a damping coefficient associated with the rotational system of the machine and the coupled flywheel .In the high-speed flywheel applications, the flywheel shaft is suspended on magnetic bearings and operated in a vacuum. Thus the typical machine losses, friction and windage amount to almost zero, in other words,  f effect can be ignored in this application. The voltage and torque equations can be expressed in the rotor reference frame[5],[7] in order to transform the time-varying variables into steady state constants. The transformation of the three-phase variables in the stationary  reference frame to the rotor reference frame is defined as
      
Where,    Ks  is

  
Multiplying (4) by Ks and carrying out the differentiation of the last term results in

        (8)
  
Where   r X
X=  so that eq.(8) reduce  to      (9) 
Similarly, if the flux linkages equation (5) is multiplied by K s , it results in  (10).
                              (10)        
The electromagnetic torque can be written as
                            (11)
It can be seen that torque is related only to the  d and q  axes    current. So that Te is represented as

           When  flywheel start discharging after  6 sec,    PMSM operates as the generator and speed start falling from   22138 rpm to 5000 rpm in Fig.4. At the time of  discharging of flywheel output power  which shown in Fig. 5 from the PM generator  is 46.5 KW, it means that power is being supply from the generator to the load on DC bus side.

And Deceleration Characteristic of Flywheel

          Power at time of discharging  is drop according to the load, shown in Fig. 5, here deceleration characteristic is obtained for three different load condition.  Deceleration curve ‘A’ in Fig. 5 is obtained at  resistive load of  18Ω  and power is drop to 20 KW   and  curve ‘B’ show that power is drop to    6.4KW  As the load is increased from the 18Ω to 40Ω ,it show  the decrease  in the power at high load. Curve ‘C’ indicated that  load is reduced to 6Ω and power is drop to 33KW
        Deceleration characteristics show that power decreased very rapidly   with the increasing load .
