[0002] The flywheel energy storage system is an energy storage device that converts electromechanical energy. It uses physical methods to achieve energy storage. Through the electric / generating reciprocal bidirectional motor, the electrical energy and the mechanical kinetic energy of the high-speed rotating flywheel are converted and stored. It also interfaces with different types of loads through frequency modulation, rectification, and constant voltage.

[0003] During energy storage, electrical energy is converted through the power converter to drive the motor, which drives the flywheel to accelerate. The flywheel stores the energy in the form of kinetic energy, completing the energy storage process of converting electrical energy into mechanical energy. The energy is stored in the high-speed rotating flywheel body; after that, the motor maintains a constant speed until it receives a control signal for energy release; during energy release, the high-speed rotating flywheel drags the motor to generate electricity, and the power converter outputs the current and voltage suitable for the load, completing the energy release process of converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. The entire flywheel energy storage system realizes the input, storage and output process of electrical energy.

[0004] In order to obtain higher conversion efficiency and reduce friction loss and wind loss of the flywheel rotor, the flywheel rotor and motor both work in a sealed high-vacuum casing, and the motor needs to be connected to the outside through a through-plate electrode. The vacuum-sealed electrodes currently used on the market are mostly sealed by glass sintering, which is expensive and the operating current and operating voltage may not meet the requirements.
