The current paper investigates an assembly design of the flywheel for durable, maintainable and optimal performance. The designed model is based on a geometrical configuration which was already studied in a previous research. Using SolidWorks modelling and simulation capabilities, the model was designed and investigated with different combination of materials. A total of 16 combinations has been tested at high speed and then analyzed in order to optimize the effect of materials on the efficiency of the flywheel and particularly on the specific energy and stress Von-Mises stress. This research shows that a good geometric design of the flywheel and selection of combination of two materials can improve its energy storage capacity. Maximum specific energy of 55,764.538 J/Kg, is observed in the flywheel of combined material which is about 13% higher than flywheel of a single material.展开更多

To improve output torque and rotational speed accuracy for reaction flywheel, this paper reviews the modeling and control approaches of DC-DC converters and presents an application of the variable structure system theory with associated sliding regimes. Firstly, the topology of reaction flywheel is constructed. The small signal linearization process for a buck converter is illustrated. Then, based on the state averaging models and reaching qualification expressed by the Lee derivative, the general results of the sliding mode control （SMC） are analyzed. The analytical equivalent control laws for reaction flywheel are deduced detailedly by selecting various sliding surfaces at electromotion, energy consumption braking, reverse connection braking stages. Finally, numerical and experimental examples are presented for illustrative purposes. The results demonstrate that favorable agreement is established between the simulations and experiments. The proposed control strategy achieves preferable rotational speed regulation, strong rejection of modest disturbances, and high-precision output torque and rotational speed tracking abilities.展开更多
