The superconducting energy storage flywheel comprising of magnetic and superconducting bearings is fit for energy storage on account of its high efficiency, long cycle life, wide operating temperature range and so on.
Accordingly, there are two main types of high-temperature superconducting energy storage flywheels, and if a system comprising both the thrust bearing and the radial bearing will have the characteristics of both types of bearings.
Their efficiency is high during energy storage and energy transfer (>90 %). The performance of flywheel energy storage systems operating in magnetic bearing and vacuum is high. Flywheel energy storage systems have a long working life if periodically maintained (>25 years).
The completed system is the world's largest-class flywheel power storage system using a superconducting magnetic bearing. It has 300-kW output capability and 100-kWh storage capacity, and contains a CFRP (carbon-fiber-reinforced-plastic) flywheel.
While past applications of the flywheel have used conventional mechanical bearings that had relatively high losses due to friction, the development of magnetic bearings constructed using High Temperature Superconductors (HTSC) has greatly decreased the losses due to friction and increased efficiency immensely.
In this system, the flywheel is levitated by the superconducting magnetic bearing without contact. Therefore, the power loss is minimal although a large flywheel is used, and it is a very practical system which enables stable power generation over a long period.
In order to solve the problems such as mechanical friction in the flywheel energy storage system, a shaftless flywheel energy storage system based on high temperature superconducting (HTS) technology is presented in this paper. Because of the Meisner effect of the high temperature superconducting material, the flywheel with permanent magnet is suspended, which
