Basic Study on Energy Storage Flywheel System With a Suspended Flywheel Rotor

In this paper, a new model of energy storage flywheel system is proposed. The energy storage flywheel system is composed of a superconducting stator, a flywheel rotor, an induction motor and some positioning actuators. The flywheel rotor is suspended by a superconducting stator with one end fixed to a stable base. The paper discusses basic and dynamic characteristics of the energy storage flywheel system. As a result, displacements of the stator and the flywheel rotor are related with each other.
