"The flywheel energy storage regenerative braking energy recovery system
uses a variable frequency and variable voltage drive method in urban rail and
subway transportation. When the subway is braking, electric braking is first
performed to convert kinetic energy into electrical energy. Part of the energy
is used by adjacent In addition to vehicle absorption. If the energy cannot be
effectively absorbed, it will lead to an increase in the DC power of the
traction network and affect the operation of the system. Therefore, the
traditional solution is to use a braking resistor. This method wastes electric
energy and is not energy-saving or environmentally friendly. . If a flywheel
energy storage device is used to recycle energy, the electrical energy that can
be saved can account for about 15%-17% of the traction power."

Jiang Weiliang, Director of Physical Energy Storage Technology Research
Institute of Shenyang Microcontrol New Energy Technology Co., Ltd.
Good afternoon, distinguished guests! I am Jiang Weiliang from Microcontrol
New Energy. I am very honored to be able to speak at this conference. My report
is divided into four aspects:
Part One: Company Profile. First, let’s introduce VYCON, which was founded
in 2003 and is headquartered in Los Angeles, California, USA. Shenyang
Microcontrol New Energy Company has reached a comprehensive and exclusive
strategic partnership with VYCON, and has all the technical capabilities and the
right to use the VYCON brand. It is headquartered in Shenyang Sino-German
Industrial Park, with an area of 100 acres. It has a R&D center in
Shenzhen and is independent. R&D capabilities and production capabilities.
It has applied for 16 invention patents, two utility model patents, two
appearance designs, and 6 software copyrights. This is a magnetic levitation
flywheel energy storage production line, and this is related intellectual
property.
The second part introduces the key technology of magnetic levitation
flywheel energy storage. This is a cross-sectional view of flywheel energy
storage. The main part includes permanent magnet synchronous electrode
technology, which can be used as both a generator and an engine technology to
achieve two-way conversion of electrical energy and kinetic energy. The flywheel
achieves the main storage of kinetic energy, and the bearing system plays a role
in support and protection.
The flywheel electrode emits a three-way variable frequency alternating
current. The power converter realizes two-way conversion of DC and AC to realize
variable frequency drive. Working principle: In charging mode, the externally
input electric energy drives the rotor to rotate through the motor, driving the
flywheel to accelerate rotation. To convert electrical energy into kinetic
energy and store it, the process of discharge is the opposite. The technology of
flywheel energy storage is developing in the direction of continuously
increasing energy density and reducing its own losses.
Modern flywheel energy storage technology is a comprehensive technology
that integrates multiple disciplines. The main ways to increase energy density
are:
The first is to improve the quality of the flywheel, the second is to
increase the speed of the flywheel, and the third is to reduce its own
losses.
Now flywheel energy storage technology is a comprehensive technology that
integrates multiple disciplines: including flywheel material technology, bearing
technology, motor technology, rotor dynamics, power electronics and other
related technologies.
Flywheel bearing technology is a very core technology and has gone through
several different stages of development: in the early days, it was purely
mechanical bearings for support. The energy was proportional to the square of
the rotational speed. The energy was increased by increasing the mass of the
flywheel. Therefore, the corresponding flywheel has low energy density, low
efficiency, and relatively short bearing life.
With the development of magnetic levitation technology, magnetic unloading
mechanical bearings have been developed. During normal operation, the mechanical
bearings run and unload part of the gravity through magnetic force, reducing the
bearing capacity of the mechanical bearings, which can increase the speed of the
flywheel and extend its life.
The latest technology now is completely magnetic suspension bearings. The
flywheel is completely magnetically suspended when running, and there is no
friction or contact with the bearings. Protected by spare mechanical bearings,
this kind of flywheel has the characteristics of high speed, high energy
density, high energy efficiency, and long bearing life. This is also the
direction of the development of modern flywheel energy storage.
This is a flywheel energy storage rendering, which mainly includes the
following core technologies:
First, five-axis active magnetic bearing and control technology. The upper
and lower bearings enable the entire flywheel rotor system to operate stably.
During operation, there is no contact between the flywheel rotor and the
bearings, and the bearings are not worn.
Second, it runs at high speed, has a service life of more than 20 years,
and a rotation speed of 37,000 rpm.
Third, alloy steel flywheel materials and process technology use
aerospace-grade alloy steel flywheel materials, which have the advantages of
high density, high strength, and strong anti-fatigue properties. They can
simultaneously improve the quality and speed of the flywheel, and have good
overall performance. Each flywheel All were treated non-destructively by
ultrasound.
Fourth, brushless permanent magnet synchronous motor technology. It adopts
brushless design and the rotor is made of rare earth Yongci material, which has
high density and high efficiency.
Fifth, bidirectional power conversion and variable frequency drive
technology uses IGBT for drive conversion, adaptively adjusts the frequency of
AC power, and adopts variable frequency drive for AC motors.
Sixth, the vacuum chamber and heat dissipation technology are used to adopt
a fully enclosed alloy shell, which plays the role of sealing, heat dissipation,
battery evaluation and protection. It uses a vacuum pump to evacuate, detect and
maintain the required vacuum degree in real time, and adopts a unique heat
dissipation structure + Air-cooling heat dissipation technology maintains the
thermal stability of the system.
Safety is the core part of energy storage technology, using multiple safety
assurance technologies.
First, we use flywheel self-power supply technology, which is also our
patented technology. During operation, the controller of the magnetic levitation
bearing needs uninterrupted power supply. It adopts a two-way power supply
design: one is an external auxiliary power supply, and the other is an internal
automatic power supply. Power supply. The advantage is that the flywheel rotates
at high speed, and the magnetic levitation controller is self-powered through
the permanent magnet synchronous motor. Even in the event of external power
outage, the power supply can be maintained uninterrupted.
Second, use backup mechanical bearing protection technology to achieve safe
and smooth shutdown. Adopting a full range of status monitoring and protection
technology, it can monitor electrical quantities, rotation speed, position,
vacuum degree, temperature, and the operating status of each component in real
time for real-time detection. The entire status is transparent and can
automatically alarm if there are any abnormalities. downtime. Our products are
very mature, with more than 1,700 devices in actual operation around the world,
all operating safely and reliably.
Third, the magnetic levitation flywheel energy storage products and
features adopt a standard cabinet design and include several parts, the first
flywheel module part, the second graphical user interface, the third part
flywheel control unit, and the fourth part magnetic levitation bearing control
unit. Part 5 Bidirectional Converter.
There are now two series of products in mature mass production, one is
called VDC series, the typical parameter rated power is 450KW, and the maximum
available energy is 1.74KWh. There is also REGEN series, with a rated output
power of 200KW, which can be used in 750V and 1500V. Through flywheel energy
storage design, we can meet the needs of different application scenarios,
ranging from several megawatts to tens of megawatts. DCS conversion is performed
through PCS, and voltage is boosted through transformers, which can be
controlled remotely or locally. Flywheel energy storage has great advantages
over electrochemistry. The energy stored in flywheels strictly corresponds to
the rotational speed. The corresponding energy at a certain rotational speed is
certain. In this way, we can very accurately control the charging and
discharging of each flywheel. , allowing everyone to fill or empty
simultaneously.
Technical features of flywheel energy storage products:
1. High safety. The whole process is a physical energy storage process,
without chemical reactions, all-round parameter monitoring, transparent status,
safe and controllable;
2. Green and environmentally friendly, green and pollution-free throughout
its life cycle. It is made of alloy steel and can be fully recycled after
decommissioning, with low disposal costs;
3. Long life: Based on active magnetic suspension bearings, no mechanical
friction, the core part can be used for up to 20 years;
4. High power;
5. Fast charging and discharging;
6. Wide temperature range;
7. Easy to deploy.
Fourth, the application scenarios of flywheel energy storage are
particularly suitable for application scenarios that require high safety, high
power, short time, and frequent charging and discharging. Focus on four types of
application scenarios: urban rail transit regenerative braking energy recovery
system, key power protection UPS, power frequency regulation, energy storage
system for new energy regulation, and high-power energy storage power supply
system to solve impact loads.
The flywheel energy storage type regenerative braking energy recovery
system uses a variable frequency and variable voltage drive method in urban rail
and subway transportation. When the subway is braking, electric braking is first
performed to convert kinetic energy into electrical energy. Part of the energy
is transferred to adjacent vehicles. outside of absorption. If the energy cannot
be effectively absorbed, it will lead to an increase in the DC power of the
traction network and affect the operation of the system. Therefore, the
traditional solution is to use a braking resistor. This method wastes electric
energy and is not energy-saving or environmentally friendly. If a flywheel
energy storage device is used to recycle energy, the electrical energy that can
be saved can account for about 15%-17% of the traction power.
The basic principle is introduced below: multiple flywheel energy storage
devices are used to operate in parallel on the DC side, and a centralized
control system is used to synchronously control the entire flywheel energy
storage system to achieve synchronous charging and discharging, which is
connected to the DC bus of the track traction network. , the system starts up
and enters standby operation state. The electric energy is converted into
kinetic energy and stored. When the train leaves the station, the flywheel
stores energy and discharges, converting the kinetic energy into electric energy
and releasing it. The main function is first to save energy. It can recycle the
regenerative braking capacity and reduce operating costs. Second, it can perform
bidirectional voltage stabilization. Third, you can cut the peak.
This system has a very mature application in the subway. This is our
project in Los Angeles, USA. It was put into operation in 2014.
The following introduces the key power guarantee, flywheel energy storage
UPS solution. UPS is a system used in many industrial fields. Nowadays, the
commonly used UPS is bilateral conversion, which first undergoes rectification
and then inversion. The energy storage supporting UPS traditionally uses
lead-acid batteries, which have some problems, such as short life and high
failure rate. According to statistics, more than 30% of the total failure rate
of UPS is caused by battery failure. It occupies a large area, requires a
separate room, and has relatively high temperature requirements. In addition,
traction fluid is toxic and can cause pollution if used improperly.
Flywheel energy storage can replace lead-acid batteries and can be
seamlessly exchanged with online UPS. Now we have a large number of applications
with mainstream UPS brands. The main advantages of using UPS flywheel energy
storage are long service life, 20-year use cycle, safety and reliability, low
operation cost, small footprint, relatively wide requirements for ambient
temperature, and full life cycle, green and pollution-free.
Working process: Normally, the flywheel is dived through rectification and
inversion at the same time. When the power is cut off due to a fault, the
flywheel energy storage is instantly discharged to ensure uninterrupted power
supply to the load. This solution has many application cases, including data
centers, telecommunications equipment rooms, semiconductor factories, etc.
Let’s introduce the hybrid energy storage solution of flywheel + battery.
In the energy storage of the power system, there are different scale
requirements for the charging and discharging time. For example, for new energy
power generation, due to the randomness, volatility and intermittent nature of
new energy power generation, the energy storage supporting new energy and
microgrids has charging and discharging requirements of milliseconds and
minutes, as well as minutes to hours. It is difficult to achieve perfection by
relying on the current single energy storage method. Frequent short-term
charging and discharging will quickly reduce the battery life. Therefore, we
combine the functional battery energy storage method of flywheel and the
energy-based method of battery to form a hybrid charging system, perform
collaborative control, and achieve complementary advantages. This is a method of
frequent charging and discharging in a short period of time.
For new energy station solutions, we can call the flywheel energy storage
system or battery system as needed through the collaborative control system. For
thermal power units + energy storage combined with AGC frequency regulation, the
current typical preparation is based on the preparation of lithium-ion batteries
and a typical design of 30 minutes. Experts from China Southern Power Grid also
mentioned earlier that AGC frequency regulation power stations charge and
discharge hundreds of times a day. For lithium-ion batteries, the life span is a
ceiling, so we propose a hybrid system of flywheel + lithium battery, which is
matched according to the proportion and controlled collaboratively.
When the AGC command has just been issued, the unit has not responded. At
this time, the power is the highest. As the output of the unit gradually
increases, the output of the energy storage part will decrease, forming a peak
and a flat part. Therefore, the flywheel energy storage mainly bears the heavy
load. Power, for short periods of time. Battery energy storage takes on the
basic processing part, reduces charging and discharging frequency, and shortens
lifespan.
This is a high-power flywheel energy storage power supply solution with
impact resistance. This is characterized by the first sawtooth wave, where the
power rises rapidly and then suddenly changes to form a cycle. The second is a
square wave, and the third is a sudden increase or decrease in random power. It
is characterized by large power fluctuations, rapid changes, short duration,
frequent use, and impact loads that will have a greater impact on the diesel
generator power supply system, microgrids, and large power grids, affecting the
stability of the system and the life of the equipment. . Flywheel energy storage
is very suitable for power sources with impact loads. We can reduce the
configuration of generator unit capacity, extend the life of the unit, and
improve the stability of the system. In addition, the high magnification
characteristics are particularly suitable for high power input/output. Quick
response, suitable for fast charging and discharging, and long life suitable for
frequent charging and discharging.
