Flywheel Energy Storage System employing Magsplit technology

This abstract presents research on Flywheel Energy Storage Systems (FESS) using Magnetic Power Split Technology (Magsplit) with Wound Rotor Synchronous Machines (WRSM) or Squirrel Cage Induction Machines (SCIM). FESS enhances grid stability and renewable energy integration. Magsplit improves FESS performance with efficient power control and variable gear ratios. The study explored integrating Magsplit with FESS using WRSM or SCIM through modeling, simulation, and experimental validation.

Comprehensive models of Magsplit-integrated FESS with WRSM and SCIM were developed, and simulations assessed performance under various conditions. An experimental setup validated results for WRSM. The findings show stable power delivery and responsiveness to frequency variations, making FESS a viable solution for grid stability and renewable energy integration.

This research demonstrates the benefits of integrating Magsplit with WRSM or SCIM in FESS, highlighting improvements in power quality, system mass, and grid integration. Further research is recommended to fully exploit this approach's potential, advancing energy storage systems and grid stability.
