Magnetically suspended stacks for inertial energy storage flywheelA magnetically suspended flywheel stack based on a 'pancake' magnetic bearing stack is proposed for a 500 watt-hour energy storage system. Backup ball bearings in the system configuration both prevent damage to the system whenever there is a loss of magnetic suspension due to excessive outside disturbances, and insure that the fywheel stays within the linear control range. Design tools to investigate the performance of the control system and the magnetic circuits are also discussed.
