In order to explore the complexity and diversity of the flywheels dynamics, we have developed the real-physics computer model of a universal mechanical rotor. Due to an arbitrary external force concept, the model can be adjusted to operate identical to the real experimental prototype. Taking the high-speed magnetic rotor on superconducting bearings as the prototype, the law for the energy loss in real high temperature superconducting bearings has been derived. Varying the laws of damping and elasticity in the system, we have found a way to effectively damp the parasitic resonances and minimize the loss of energy storage.

Energy storage technologies are of great practical importance in electrical grids where renewable energy sources are becoming a significant component in the energy generation mix. Here, we focus on some of the basic properties of flywheel energy stor
age systems, a technology that becomes competitive due to recent progress in material and electrical design. While the description of the rotation of rigid bodies about a fixed axis is classical mechanics textbook material, all its basic aspects pertinent to flywheels, like, e.g., the evaluation of stress caused by centripetal forces at high rotation speeds, are either not covered or scattered over different sources of information; so it is worthwhile to look closer at the specific mechanical problems for flywheels, and to derive and clearly analyse the equations and their solutions. The connection of flywheels to electrical systems impose particular boundary conditions due to the coupling of mechanical and electrical characteristics of the system. Our report thus deal with the mechanical design in terms of stresses in flywheels, particularly during acceleration and deceleration, considering both solid and hollow disks geometries, in light of which we give a detailed electrical design of the flywheel system considering the discharge-stage dynamics of the flywheel. We include a discussion on the applicability of this mathematical model of the electrical properties of the flywheel for actual settings. Finally, we briefly discuss the relative advantages of flywheels in electrical grids over other energy storage technologies.
Conventional active magnetic bearing (AMB) systems use several separate radial and thrust bearings to provide a 5 degree of freedom (DOF) levitation control. This paper presents a novel combination 5-DOF active magnetic bearing (C5AMB) designed for a
shaft-less, hub-less, high-strength steel energy storage flywheel (SHFES), which achieves doubled energy density compared to prior technologies. As a single device, the C5AMB provides radial, axial, and tilting levitations simultaneously. In addition, it utilizes low-cost and more available materials to replace silicon steels and laminations, which results in reduced costs and more convenient assemblies. Apart from the unique structure and the use of low magnetic grade material, other design challenges include shared flux paths, large dimensions, and relatively small air gaps. The finite element method (FEM) is too computationally intensive for early-stage analysis. An equivalent magnetic circuit method (EMCM) is developed for modeling and analysis. Nonlinear FEM is then used for detailed simulations. Both permanent magnets (PM) and electromagnetic control currents provide the weight-balancing lifting force. During the full-scale prototype testing, the C5AMB successfully levitates a 5440 kg and 2 m diameter flywheel at an air gap of 1.14 mm. Its current and position stiffnesses are verified experimentally.
In this work we study theoretically the properties of S-F/N-sIS type Josephson junctions in the frame of the quasiclassical Usadel formalism. The structure consists of two superconducting electrodes (S), a tunnel barrier (I), a combined normal metal/
ferromagnet (N/F) interlayer and a thin superconducting film (s). We demonstrate the breakdown of a spatial uniformity of the superconducting order in the s-film and its decomposition into domains with a phase shift $pi $ . The effect is sensitive to the thickness of the s layer and the widths of the F and N films in the direction along the sIS interface. We predict the existence of a regime where the structure has two energy minima and can be switched between them by an electric current injected laterally into the structure. The state of the system can be non-destructively read by an electric current flowing across the junction.
Thanks to the unique advantages such as long life cycles, high power density, minimal environmental impact, and high power quality such as fast response and voltage stability, the flywheel/kinetic energy storage system (FESS) is gaining attention rec
ently. There is noticeable progress made in FESS, especially in utility, large-scale deployment for the electrical grid, and renewable energy applications. This paper gives a review of the recent developments in FESS technologies. Due to the highly interdisciplinary nature of FESSs, we survey different design approaches, choices of subsystems, and the effects on performance, cost, and applications. This review focuses on the state of the art of FESS technologies, especially for those who have been commissioned or prototyped. We also highlighted the opportunities and potential directions for the future development of FESS technologies.
In this work we investigate superconducting properties of niobium samples via application of the muon spin rotation/relaxation (muSR) technique. We employ for the first time the muSR technique to study samples that are cutout from large and small gra
in 1.5 GHz radio frequency (RF) single cell niobium cavities. The RF test of these cavities was accompanied by full temperature mapping to characterize the RF losses in each of the samples. Results of the muSR measurements show that standard cavity surface treatments like mild baking and buffered chemical polishing (BCP) performed on the studied samples affect their surface pinning strength. We find an interesting correlation between high field RF losses and field dependence of the sample magnetic volume fraction measured via muSR. The muSR line width observed in ZF-muSR measurements matches the behavior of Nb samples doped with minute amounts of Ta or N impurities. An upper bound for the upper critical field Hc2 of these cutouts is found.
