[0002] The flywheel energy storage system is a mechanical and electrical energy conversion energy storage device. The flywheel energy storage system stores energy in the form of mechanical kinetic energy through a high-speed rotating flywheel, and realizes mutual conversion between electrical energy and kinetic energy by using a motor / generator bidirectional motor. The core working principle is that in the energy storage stage, the motor is driven by electrical energy to accelerate the rotation of the flywheel, and the electrical energy is converted into kinetic energy for storage; in the energy release stage, the flywheel drives the motor to generate electricity, and the kinetic energy is converted back into electrical energy for output.

[0003] In the related art, the flywheel energy storage system uses mechanical bearings, which have large mechanical friction loss, thereby reducing the energy conversion efficiency of the flywheel energy storage system.

[0041] Referring to Figures 1 to 8 A flywheel energy storage system 100 according to an embodiment of the present application comprises a housing 10, a magnetic drive module 20, a flywheel rotor 30, a magnetic suspension module 40, and at least two magnetic bearings 50. The housing 10 is the main component of the flywheel energy storage system 100, and serves to load the magnetic drive module 20, the flywheel rotor 30, the magnetic suspension module 40, and the at least two magnetic bearings 50.

[0042] For example, the housing 10 is made of stainless steel and has a flat cylindrical structure, which is convenient to manufacture, has high strength, and is durable.

[0043] Please continue to refer to Figure 4 The housing 10 has an installation cavity 11 formed inside. The magnetic drive module 20 is arranged on the side wall of the installation cavity 11. The flywheel rotor 30 is arranged in the installation cavity 11 and is drivingly connected to the magnetic drive module 20, so that the flywheel rotor 30 can rotate in the installation cavity 11. The magnetic suspension module 40 is connected between the lower part of the flywheel rotor 30 and the side wall of the installation cavity 11, and serves to achieve the suspension installation of the flywheel rotor 30. The at least two magnetic bearings 50 are arranged on the side wall of the installation cavity 11 in a spaced apart manner, and surround the outer periphery of the flywheel rotor 30.

[0044] In summary, the flywheel energy storage system 100 of the present embodiment has the following advantages: the magnetic drive module 20, the flywheel rotor 30, the magnetic suspension module 40 and the at least two magnetic bearings 50 are respectively installed at the predetermined positions in the mounting cavity 11 of the housing 10, so that on the one hand, the magnetic suspension module 40 generates a magnetic suspension force to enable the flywheel rotor 30 to be suspended and installed in the mounting cavity 11 along the Z-axis direction, and the magnetic suspension module 40 can constrain the translation of the flywheel rotor 30 along the Z-axis direction; on the other hand, the magnetic drive module 20 generates a rotating magnetic field after being energized, which can drive the flywheel rotor 30 to rotate at a high speed, realize the conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy by the flywheel rotor 30, and in this process, the at least two magnetic bearings 50 surrounding the outer periphery of the flywheel rotor 30 can constrain the translation and rotation of the flywheel rotor 30 in the XY-axis plane by reasonable air gap magnetic flux regulation, thereby realizing the non-contact rotary support of the flywheel rotor 30, preventing mechanical friction and wear, and ensuring the energy conversion efficiency and service life of the flywheel energy storage system; and compared with the prior art, the flywheel energy storage system 100 has a simple structure, a compact and reasonable layout, low processing and manufacturing difficulty, and high working reliability.

[0045] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, in an embodiment, the side wall of the mounting cavity 11 is recessed to form a positioning groove 12, and the magnetic bearing 50 is arranged in the positioning groove 12, and part of the magnetic bearing 50 protrudes outside the slot of the positioning groove 12, so that the flywheel rotor 30 is gap-fitted with the side wall of the mounting cavity 11.

[0046] By arranging the magnetic bearing 50 in the positioning groove 12, the magnetic bearing 50 can be arranged more stably, and the magnetic bearing 50 only partially extends into the mounting cavity 11, which on the one hand avoids occupying too much space in the mounting cavity 11 and increasing the arrangement difficulty of the flywheel rotor 30, and on the other hand, the position of the flywheel rotor 30 in the XY plane in the mounting cavity 11 can be limited by the magnetic bearing 50, so that the flywheel rotor 30 can be gap-fitted with the side wall of the mounting cavity 11, avoiding contact friction and wear during rotation of the flywheel rotor 30, and affecting the rotation efficiency and service life of the flywheel rotor 30.

[0047] Alternatively, the magnetic bearing 50 can be fixed in the positioning groove 12 by any one of interference fit, adhesion, clamping and the like, which can be flexibly selected according to actual needs, and is not limited here.

[0048] More specifically, in one alternative embodiment, the magnetic bearing 50 comprises a first magnetic assembly 51 and a second magnetic assembly 52, the first magnetic assembly 51 and the second magnetic assembly 52 are arranged in a spaced-apart manner along the slot width direction of the positioning slot 12, the first magnetic assembly 51 is used to constrain the flywheel rotor 30 to produce translation in the XY axial plane, and the second magnetic assembly 52 is used to constrain the flywheel rotor 30 to produce rotation in the XY axial plane.

[0049] That is, the magnetic bearing 50 of the present application is actually a hybrid magnetic bearing 50. In operation, by controlling the air gap magnetic flux of the first magnetic assembly 51, the flywheel rotor 30 can be constrained to produce translation in the XY axial plane; by controlling the air gap magnetic flux of the second magnetic assembly 52, the flywheel rotor 30 can be constrained to produce rotation in the XY axial plane, thereby achieving a good non-contact support and positioning effect of the magnetic bearing 50 on the flywheel rotor 30.

[0050] Please continue to refer to Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 , and in particular, on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, the first magnetic assembly 51 and the second magnetic assembly 52 each comprise a magnetic bearing stator 50a and a magnetic bearing winding 50b, the magnetic bearing winding 50b is wound on the outside of the magnetic bearing stator 50a.

[0051] The magnetic bearing stator 50a serves as a fixed part of the magnetic bearing 50, and by means of the wound magnetic bearing winding 50b, a controllable magnetic field force can be generated to directly exert a magnetic attractive force or repulsive force on the flywheel rotor 30 to maintain the flywheel rotor 30 suspended at a predetermined position. The magnetic bearing stator 50a is also used to form an air gap with the flywheel rotor 30 to ensure no mechanical contact.

[0052] Further, on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, the magnetic bearing 50 further comprises a magnetic bearing permanent magnet 50c, which is arranged in the space between the first magnetic assembly 51 and the second magnetic assembly 52. The magnetic bearing permanent magnet 50c is mainly used to provide a static bias magnetic field to bear most of the weight of the flywheel rotor 30 or the initial magnetic force requirement, which can significantly reduce the power consumption of the electromagnetic coil and reduce the ampere-turns of the electromagnet, thereby optimizing the system efficiency and volume. In particular, in the hybrid magnetic bearing 50, the magnetic bearing permanent magnet 50c works in conjunction with the magnetic bearing winding 50b (i.e. the electromagnetic coil), the permanent magnet establishes a basic magnetic field, and the magnetic bearing winding 50b achieves dynamic balance by quickly adjusting the current, thereby improving the suspension stability and response speed.

[0053] Please continue to refer to Figures 6 to 8Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, the flywheel energy storage system 100 comprises a plurality of magnetic bearings 50, a plurality of magnetic conductive rings 60, and a plurality of positioning grooves 12 formed on the side wall of the mounting cavity 11 along the circumferential direction, one-to-one correspondence of the magnetic bearing 50 is installed in the positioning groove 12, and one magnetic conductive ring 60 is connected between the adjacent two magnetic bearings 50.

[0054] Specifically, the magnetic bearing 50 and the magnetic conductive ring 60 are provided with four, and the four magnetic bearings 50 and the four magnetic conductive rings 60 are alternately connected as a closed ring structure; that is, the four magnetic bearings 50 and the four magnetic conductive rings 60 are arranged in a cross-shaped structure, which can be matched with the cross-shaped structure of the flywheel rotor 30, thereby fully exerting the magnetic suspension support of the four magnetic bearings 50, ensuring the balanced circumferential stress of the flywheel rotor 30, and further ensuring the stable posture of the flywheel rotor 30 when rotating at high speed to avoid contact and friction with the shell 10.

[0055] The magnetic conductive ring 60 arranged between the adjacent two magnetic bearings 50 can construct a more stable magnetic field loop, efficiently concentrate the magnetic lines, thereby generating sufficient suspension force, and also shield external magnetic field interference to ensure stable work of the magnetic bearing 50.

[0056] Please continue to refer to Figure 4 In another embodiment, the magnetic suspension module 40 comprises an upper magnetic suspension permanent magnet 41, a lower magnetic suspension permanent magnet 42, and a fixed ring 43, the fixed ring 43 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the flywheel rotor 30, the upper magnetic suspension permanent magnet 41 is installed on the inner ring wall of the fixed ring 43, and the lower magnetic suspension permanent magnet 42 is installed on the side wall of the mounting cavity 11 and arranged in axial spaced relation with the upper magnetic suspension permanent magnet 41.

[0057] When working, the repulsive force is generated by the interaction between the upper magnetic suspension permanent magnet 41 and the lower magnetic suspension permanent magnet 42 to overcome the gravity of the flywheel rotor 30, thereby realizing the suspension of the flywheel rotor 30 in the mounting cavity 11. Further, the stable magnetic field is provided by the upper magnetic suspension permanent magnet 41 and the lower magnetic suspension permanent magnet 42, and the electromagnetic force is dynamically adjusted by combining the control system (such as PID algorithm) to ensure that the suspended body keeps balance.

[0058] In one embodiment, the shell 10 is provided with a first opening and a second opening on opposite sides, and the flywheel rotor 30 is provided with a first flywheel shaft 31 and a second flywheel shaft 32 on the axially opposite sides.

[0059] Please continue to refer to Figure 4The first opening is externally provided with a first end cover 70, the second opening is externally provided with a second end cover 80, the magnetic drive module 20 comprises a first magnetic drive assembly 21 and a second magnetic drive assembly 22, the first magnetic drive assembly 21 is arranged in the first end cover 70 and is in driving cooperation with the first flywheel shaft 31, and the second magnetic drive assembly 22 is arranged in the second end cover 80 and is in driving cooperation with the second flywheel shaft 32.

[0060] Therefore, when the first magnetic drive assembly 21 and the second magnetic drive assembly 22 are powered, a rotating magnetic field can be generated to drive the first flywheel shaft 31 and the second flywheel shaft 32 to rotate, and then drive the flywheel rotor 30 to rotate at a high speed, so as to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy for storage.

[0061] Specifically, the first magnetic drive assembly 21 and the second magnetic drive assembly 22 each comprise a magnetic drive stator 20a, a magnetic drive winding 20b and a magnetic drive permanent magnet 20c, the magnetic drive permanent magnet 20c is fixedly installed on the first flywheel shaft 31 and the second flywheel shaft 32, the magnetic drive stator 20a is fixedly arranged on the first end cover 70 and the second end cover 80, and the magnetic drive winding 20b is arranged in a space between the magnetic drive stator 20a and the first end cover 70 and the second end cover 80.

[0062] When the magnetic drive winding 20b is powered, a controllable rotating magnetic field can be generated, the rotating magnetic field interacts with the magnetic field of the permanent magnet to generate a driving torque, and then the flywheel rotor 30 can be driven to rotate at a high speed to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy for storage.

[0063] Further, the magnetic drive permanent magnet 20c is wrapped with a carbon fiber sleeve 90. By virtue of the light weight and high strength characteristics of the carbon fiber sleeve 90, the magnetic drive permanent magnet 20c is protected from high-speed centrifugal force, high temperature and external environment damage, and the working efficiency of the first magnetic drive assembly 21 and the second magnetic drive assembly 22 is improved.

[0064] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily, and to make the description concise, all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are not described, however, as long as the combinations of the technical features do not exist contradictory, they should be considered as the scope of the description.

[0065] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation manners of the present application, the description is more specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as a limitation on the patent application scope. It should be noted that for ordinary skilled persons in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
