Why are bearings important for flywheel energy storage systems?
Bearings for flywheel energy storage systems (FESS) are absolutely critical, as they determine not only key performance specifications such as self-discharge and service live, but may cause even safety-critical situations in the event of failure.
What are the main bearing loads in an automotive flywheel energy storage system?
The main bearing loads in an automotive flywheel energy storage system are the gyroscopic reaction forces, the mass forces due to linear or angular acceleration, and the imbalance forces of the rotor.
What type of bearing does a stationary flywheel use?
One of the few exceptions is the flywheel designed by Kinetic Traction Systems, which uses a hydrodynamic pin bearing as axial bearing. General architecture and bearing system of a stationary flywheel energy storage unit ( Active Power HD625 UPS ). (Image rights: Piller Group GmbH)
Why should you choose a bearing compared to a battery?
Up to 90% can be saved when compared to batteries A wide environmental specification means that air conditioning is not required Bearings are greased automatically from a reservoir > 20 years A simple electrical machine with known energy content
What is a backup bearing system?
The backup bearing system consists of a duplex pair of 25 mm angular contact ball bearings at each end of the shaft. The lower backup bearing also acts as a backup thrust bearing due to the inclusion of thrust collars on the rotor.
Are magnetic bearing flywheels better than batteries?
Magnetic bearing flywheels in vacuum enclosures, such as the NASA model depicted above, do not need any bearing maintenance and are therefore superior to batteries both in terms of total lifetime and energy storage capacity, since their effective service lifespan is still unknown.
