A system consisting of an HTS-based levitated flywheel as the energy storage unit and solar cells as the power supply was installed and investigated as a model of a viable variant of the mini power plant concept. A model was also developed to identify the frictional coefficient of such a superconducting bearing from spin-down measurements.

A second class of distinction is the means by which energy is transmitted to and from the flywheel rotor. In a FESS, this is more commonly done by means of an electrical machine directly coupled to the flywheel rotor. This configuration, shown in Fig. 11.1, is particularly attractive due to its simplicity if electrical energy storage is needed.

Flywheel energy storage systems (FESSs) store kinetic energy in the form of Jω 2 ⁄2, where J is the moment of inertia and ω is the angular frequency. Although conventional FESSs vary ω to charge and discharge the stored energy, in this study a fixed-speed FESS, in which J is changed actively while maintaining ω, was demonstrated.
