This paper deals with electromagnetic loss analysis and minimization in an integrated Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS). The FESS consists of a large-airgap Surface-Mounted Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine (SPM), whose inner rotor integrates a carbon-fiber flywheel, leading to a compact and efficient FESS. Electromagnetic losses minimization is achieved through an accurate SPM modelling, which accounts for both Joule and core losses, as well as for flux-weakening operation. Consequently, SPM maximum efficiency is obtained by injecting a proper demagnetization current component at each operating condition, which guarantee the optimal trade-off among the different losses’ contributions. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is validated through numerical simulations.

Abstract

This paper deals with electromagnetic loss analysis and minimization in an integrated Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS). The FESS consists of a large-airgap Surface-Mounted Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine (SPM), whose inner rotor integrates a carbon-fiber flywheel, leading to a compact and efficient FESS. Electromagnetic losses minimization is achieved through an accurate SPM modelling, which accounts for both Joule and core losses, as well as for flux-weakening operation. Consequently, SPM maximum efficiency is obtained by injecting a proper demagnetization current component at each operating condition, which guarantee the optimal trade-off among the different losses’ contributions. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is validated through numerical simulations.
