This study presents a novel bidirectional dc-dc buck-boost converter compatible with the flywheel energy storage system (FESS) and a robust control for bidirectional power flow, according to the single cycle average current control scheme and proportional-integral (PI) control theory. The proposed converter and its control are designed to adjust voltage to achieve current limiting start up and final speed keeping of the motor in charge mode and maintain a constant output voltage in the case that terminal voltage of the motor in the FESS drops continually in discharge mode. Simulation results demonstrate high performance of the converter in both steady-state and dynamic operations.

This article presents a detailed, yet simple control scheme based on a flywheel energy storage system for dynamic performance enhancement. A permanent magnet machine-based 70 MW flywheel energy storage system is incorporated in a wind-integrated Western System Coordinating Council multimachine system. An elaborate mathematical modelling of the flywheel energy storage system as an effective current source is provided along with the wind-embedded multimachine system to investigate the transient stability profile of the said system. Generator speed and voltage are continuously monitored by the flywheel energy storage system plant controllers, and subsequent real and reactive reference power commands are generated. Two first-order lag blocks are employed to emulate the grid side and machine side converters’ dynamics. The developed non-linear model is tested against three-phase faults in a variable wind condition, and the effectiveness of the control scheme is confirmed by the enormous damping and extension in the stability margin of the system.

Abstract Flywheel energy storage system as a new energy source is widely studied. This paper establishes a dynamic model of a single disk looseness and rub-impact coupling hitch flywheel energy storage rotor system firstly. Then dynamic differential equations of the system under the condition of nonlinear oil film force of the sliding bearing are given. Runge–Kutta method is used to solve the simplified dimensionless differential equations. The effect of variable parameters such as disk eccentricity, stator stiffness and bearing support mass on the system are analyzed. With the increase of eccentricity, the range of period-three motion is significantly reduced and the range of chaotic motion begins to appear in the bifurcation diagram. Meanwhile, stiffness of the stator and mass of the bearing support have a significant influence on the flywheel energy storage rotor system.
