The motor is an important part of the flywheel energy storage system. The flywheel energy storage system realizes the absorption and release of electric energy through the motor, and the high-performance, low-loss, high-power, high-speed motors are key components to improve the energy conversion efficiency of energy storage flywheels. This paper analyzes the operating characteristics of the permanent magnet synchronous motor/generator (PMSG) used in the magnetically levitated flywheel energy storage system (FESS) and calculates the loss characteristics in the drive and power generation modes. Based on this, the electromagnetic part of the motor is optimized in detail. Aiming at this design, this paper calculates the loss characteristics of driving and power generation modes in detail, including its winding loss, core loss, rotor eddy current loss and mechanical loss. The calculation results show that the design meets the loss requirements. It can reduce the no-load loss of the permanent magnet synchronous motor at high speed and improve the energy conversion efficiency, which gives this system practical application prospects.

For a magnetically suspended control moment gyro (MSCMG), which is an ideal attitude actuator for its large outputting control moment and fast response, the moving-gimbal effects due to the coupling between the moving gimbal and high-speeding rotor will make the magnetically suspended rotor (MSR) unstable. To improve control precision, both the dynamic model of MSR and the feedback linearization control are done to decouple tilting motion, and poles of the system are reconfigured to reduce control error. To suppress the varying disturbance moments caused by moving-gimbal effects, an extended state observer (ESO) is originally designed to estimate and compensate them timely and accurately. To improve system robustness, a two-degree freedom internal model control (2-DOF IMC) is researched to suppress model error. Compared with existing proportional integral derivative (PID) control method, simulations done on a single gimbal MSCMG with 200 N.m.s angular momentum indicated that this presented control method with ESO and 2-DOF IMC can suppress the moving-gimbal effects more effectively and make the rotor suspension more stable.
