Research on Integrated Design and Performance Optimization of Magnetic Suspended Flywheel Energy Storage System

Against the backdrop of the global clean energy transition, this paper addresses the volatility of renewable energy like wind and PV power, focusing on magnetic suspended flywheel energy storage systems (FESS). It expounds FESS’s structure (flywheel body, magnetic suspension bearings, etc.) and working principles (charging, energy retention, discharging) and studies key technologies including rotor material selection, magnetic bearing classification/modeling, motor coordination, and heat dissipation. Challenges such as high material costs and magnetic bearing stability are pointed out, with prospects for developing FESS toward higher performance, lower cost, and multi-scenario integration to support the clean transformation of power systems.

Abstract

Against the backdrop of the global clean energy transition, this paper addresses the volatility of renewable energy like wind and PV power, focusing on magnetic suspended flywheel energy storage systems (FESS). It expounds FESS’s structure (flywheel body, magnetic suspension bearings, etc.) and working principles (charging, energy retention, discharging) and studies key technologies including rotor material selection, magnetic bearing classification/modeling, motor coordination, and heat dissipation. Challenges such as high material costs and magnetic bearing stability are pointed out, with prospects for developing FESS toward higher performance, lower cost, and multi-scenario integration to support the clean transformation of power systems.
