Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of energy storage technology, specifically relating to a flywheel superconducting energy storage device. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous increase in the proportion of renewable energy power generation and the increasing fluctuation of grid load, high-power, high-efficiency, and long-life energy storage systems have become key infrastructure for ensuring the stable operation of the power grid. Among the many energy storage technologies, superconducting energy storage and flywheel energy storage have shown significant advantages in specific application scenarios due to their distinct technical characteristics.
[0003] Superconducting energy storage, based on the zero-resistance operation of superconducting coils at extremely low temperatures, boasts millisecond-level power response speeds, high power density, and near-lossless charge-discharge efficiency, making it suitable for short-term, high-power applications such as grid instantaneous frequency support and voltage sag mitigation. However, superconducting storage tank systems require maintaining a cryogenic environment (typically below 77K) and rely on energy-intensive refrigeration equipment and complex insulation structures, resulting in high system operating costs. Furthermore, their energy storage capacity is limited by the superconducting materials and coil volume, making it difficult to independently undertake long-term, high-capacity continuous power supply tasks.
[0004] Flywheel energy storage stores mechanical energy through a high-speed rotating rotor. It boasts advantages such as high power density, long cycle life (up to hundreds of thousands of cycles), maintenance-free operation, and environmental friendliness, making it suitable for medium- to long-term energy storage needs such as grid frequency regulation and peak shaving. However, its energy density is relatively low, and its response speed is typically limited by rotor materials and bearing losses, ranging from hundreds of milliseconds to several seconds, making it difficult to meet the grid's rapid compensation requirements for transient power surges.
[0005] To overcome the limitations of single energy storage technologies, recent research has attempted to combine superconducting energy storage with flywheel energy storage, such as by connecting them in parallel or series to the same grid node and using an external energy management system for power dispatch. However, these solutions only involve simple electrical integration and fail to achieve deep integration of physical structure, thermal management, and control strategies. This results in large system footprint, numerous energy conversion stages, and low efficiency. In particular, the large amount of cryogenic energy generated during the operation of superconducting systems is directly discharged into the environment through the cooling system, causing energy waste. Furthermore, the high-speed bearings and motor cooling of flywheel energy storage require additional electrical energy, further reducing the overall system efficiency. In addition, existing combined energy storage systems lack adaptive collaborative control mechanisms, relying mostly on fixed power allocation strategies or simple logic switching, making it difficult to dynamically optimize and adjust according to real-time changes in grid load. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an integrated energy storage device that can achieve deep coupling of superconducting and flywheel energy storage, efficient recovery and utilization of cryogenic energy, and intelligent collaborative control capabilities, in order to simultaneously meet the grid's multiple requirements for rapid response, continuous power supply, efficient operation, and compact integration. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The cold energy module also includes a delivery pump for driving the cooling medium to circulate in the heat exchange pipeline, flywheel energy storage module, and recovery pipeline.
[0009] The superconducting coil is encapsulated in a Dewar jar, which is installed inside a superconducting shell. The superconducting coil is made of yttrium barium copper oxide superconducting material.

[0029] The method of using this invention is as follows: The collaborative control module 5 employs an adaptive fuzzy PID algorithm. It first collects power demand signals from the external power grid, the remaining power of the superconducting energy storage module 3, the rotational speed of the flywheel energy storage module 2, and status parameters such as operating temperature and current of each module. Then, based on short-term high-power demand (e.g., grid impact load) and long-term stable power demand (e.g., grid peak shaving), a fuzzy rule base is established: when there is short-term high-power demand, the superconducting energy storage module 3 is prioritized for power supply, accounting for 70%~80% of the supply; when there is long-term stable power demand, the flywheel energy storage module 2 is the primary power supplier, accounting for 60%~70% of the supply. Finally, the output voltage and current of the power allocation unit 52 are adjusted using the PID algorithm, and the power supply ratio is corrected in real time to ensure that the output power matches the grid demand and to prevent overload operation of each module.
[0030] Charging phase: During periods of low grid load (such as 23:00 to 7:00 the next day), the power from the external grid is distributed by the power distribution unit 52 of the collaborative control module 5 and divided into two paths. One path supplies power to the superconducting energy storage module 3 through the superconducting converter, and the superconducting coil 32 is energized to store magnetic energy, with a charging ratio of 30%. The other path supplies power through the flywheel energy storage module 2, which drives the flywheel rotor 25 to accelerate rotation, converting electrical energy into mechanical energy for storage, with a charging ratio of 70%. The power distribution ratio is dynamically adjusted by the central controller 51 according to the grid load and the status of the energy storage module. After charging is completed, it enters the standby state.
[0031] Cold energy utilization stage: During the operation of the superconducting energy storage module 3, the cold energy leaked from the Dewar canister and the overflowing liquid nitrogen enter the heat exchange pipeline 43 and flow along the heat exchange pipeline 43 to the heat exchanger 28 in the insulation layer 22. The heat exchanger 28 transfers the cold energy to the cooling circuit of the flywheel energy storage module 2 to cool the magnetic levitation bearing 26 and the flywheel stator 24, maintaining the temperature of the magnetic levitation bearing 26 < 25℃ and the temperature of the flywheel stator 24 < 40℃, thereby reducing the operating loss of the flywheel energy storage module 2. Excess cold energy is stored in the cryogenic storage tank along the recovery pipeline 44, which can be supplied to the outside as needed or recycled again after gas-liquid separation.
[0032] Discharge Phase: During peak grid load periods (10:00~14:00), the coordinated control module 5 discharges in accordance with power supply demand. If a short-term impact load occurs (power surge of over 100kW), the superconducting energy storage module 3 responds first, rapidly converting magnetic energy into electrical energy and outputting it to the grid at a power of 35kW through the superconducting converter, maintaining the output for 5″ to meet the short-term high-power supply demand. At the same time, the flywheel rotor 25 continuously outputs electrical energy at a power of 100kW, maintaining the output for 2 hours, and works with the flywheel stator 24 to continuously output mechanical energy into electrical energy. The central controller 51 monitors the grid power demand in real time and adjusts the output power ratio of the flywheel energy storage module 2 and the superconducting energy storage module 3 to ensure the stability and continuity of power supply.
[0033] Protection and detection: The status monitoring unit 53 collects the operating parameters of the flywheel energy storage module 2 and the superconducting energy storage module 3 in real time through sensors. If abnormal conditions such as overvoltage, overcurrent, overtemperature, or overspeed occur (e.g., the temperature of the superconducting storage tank module is higher than 80K, the speed of the flywheel rotor 25 exceeds 16000r / min, or the output current exceeds 500A), the protection unit 54 immediately activates the protection mechanism, cuts off the corresponding circuit, and ensures the safety of the energy storage device and the power grid.

Any modifications and substitutions based on the technical solutions and inventive concepts provided by the present invention should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
