The invention provides a control method and a device for a
flywheel energy storage system. The method comprises the steps of a, with the
angular velocity, the d-axis current and the q-axis current of A, a
flywheel as state variables, and the
energy storage capacity of the
flywheel as a
control variable, constructing a model for the
energy storage system of the flywheel, and discretizing the model according to the sampling time; B, constructing a
performance index based on a second-order Renyi entropy, and determining an optimal
input control variable increment with the partial derivative of the
input control variable increment to be zero based on the
performance index; C, determining a current optimal
input control variable based on the optimal input
control variable increment. According to the control method and device, based on the simplified energy
storage model of the flywheel, a controller for the energy storage
system of the flywheel can be designed. Meanwhile, the
excess energy of the flywheel is stored, or the deficient energy of the flywheel is supplemented. In this way, a wind
turbine generator set is ensured to transmit a
smoothing power to the
power grid.
