This invention discloses a
flywheel energy storage experimental system based on edge magnetic pole drive, comprising a
flywheel rotor module, an edge drive module, a measurement and control interface module, and a bridge armature module. The
system adopts a Wheel-to-Arm (W→A) edge drive architecture, distributing N-pole electromagnets (N≥4) circumferentially around the outer edge of the
flywheel body, forming M sets of symmetrical force couples. The electromagnetic force application point is located at 2R of the flywheel
diameter, with the lever arm extending to 200mm. Under a DC 12V drive
voltage, it outputs a drive torque ≥9N·m, which is 4-8 times higher than the traditional shaft-driven torque. The modular counterweight
system allows for ten adjustable levels of rotational
inertia (0.025-0.25 kg·m²), an adjustable electromagnetic air gap (0.2-2mm), and an adjustable
magnetic field deflection (±7-13.5°), supporting hierarchical teaching and research through ten-dimensional experimental variables. This invention has been fully verified through a
functional verification model, perfectly simulating the external rotor
motor drive characteristics of a large
energy storage flywheel, filling the gap in
flywheel energy storage experimental equipment in universities.
