▼ Introduction: Older adults experience certain deleterious effects associated with aging among which include; declines in muscle strength, muscle mass, motor unit activation, muscle power and functional performance. Two strength training methods (Traditional resistance training and Eccentric
flywheel overload training) have been suggested as effective means of combating these age-related declines and are of interest to us in this study. Limited research exists however, ascertaining the superiority of either training method.
Purpose: This research sought to compare the effects of eccentric
flywheel overload training and traditional resistance training on muscle strength, muscle thickness, body composition (lean/fat mass) and functional performance in healthy older adults
Methods: For inclusion, individuals had to be older adults aged 55 and above, healthy, active and untrained. Twenty-three participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups: the Eccentric
Flywheel Overload Training group (EFOT) or the Traditional Resistance Training Group (TRT). Measurements included muscle strength, muscle thickness, body composition (lean and body mass) and functional performance (30s sit to stand, incremental shuttle walk test, functional reach test, and up and down stair climb power test) assessed pre/post.
Results: Both training programs resulted in increases in isometric peak torque (p < .001), eccentric peak torque (p < .001), 4 repetition maximum back squat (p < .001), 4 repetition maximum bench press (p < .001) and 4 repetition maximum deadlift (p < .001) over time. There were also similar increases over time in lean mass (p < .001), 30s sit to stand (p < .001) and up and down stair climb power (p = .04) tests. Similar decreases in fat mass (p < .001) were also reported in both groups. No significant differences were found over time in both groups on muscle thickness, functional reach and incremental shuttle walk.
Our study revealed there were no significant differences between groups over time.
Conclusion: The present study indicates that both EFOT and TRT are similarly effective for improving isometric, and eccentric muscle strength, 4RM squat, bench press and deadlift, body composition (lean/fat mass), and functional performance (30s sit to stand and up and down stair climb power) in healthy older adults.

▼ As an energy storage device, the flywheel has
significant advantages over conventional chemical batteries,
including higher energy density, higher efficiency, longer life
time, and less pollution to the environment. An effective flywheel
system can be attributed to its good motor/generator (M/G) design.
This thesis describes the research work on the design of a
permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) as an M/G suitable for
integration in a flywheel energy storage system within a large
hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). The operating requirements of the
application include wide power and speed ranges combined with high
total system efficiency. Along with presenting the design,
essential issues related to PMSM design including cogging torque,
iron losses and total harmonic distortion (THD) are investigated.
An iterative approach combining lumped parameter analysis with 2D
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was used, and the final design is
presented showing excellent performance.

▼ Renewable electrical power sources offer a clean form of energy that is essential for the future. In areas with "good" sun exposure (insolation), like Santa Cruz, photovoltaic (PV) power can meet a significant portion of electrical energy demands. However, PV power is variable, and particularly as a result of weather phenomena. This thesis discusses options for smoothing the output of PV production of residential customers by use of a flywheel system. An economic proposition is also suggested in the context of electrical energy rate schedules that could provide cost incentives needed for this smoothing system and make it commercially viable. It is shown that flywheels used in this capacity are not the correct solution due to the constraints outlined within this thesis.

▼ Current hydropower is sourced predominately from dams, which have several ecological and societal issues. Despite growing demand for energy, dam construction has recently been at a standstill. Hydrokinetic systems are new methods of harvesting renewable energy from rivers without requiring dams. Hydrokites, a subset of hydrokinetic systems, use a translating hydrofoil to generate electricity. Previous models of hydrokite systems have been promising, but their performance in experimental settings has not been as expected. One possible cause for this discrepancy is a loss in system energy when the hydrofoil reaches the end of its stroke, resulting in significantly less power generation. This thesis proposes an alternative hydrokite model that incorporates a
flywheel to store kinetic energy during the cycle.
A numerical simulation was created that calculates the average cycle power for a
flywheel hydrokite system for given system parameters. The dynamics of this system were studied by optimizing various system parameters to maximize average cycle power. The optimization routine found that 278.1 W of power could be produced in a river flow of 1 m/s for the
flywheel hydrofoil model. In order to determine how the
flywheel affects the system, the optimized hydrokite with a
flywheel was compared to an optimized version of the previous hydrokite without a
flywheel. The previous optimized model produced an average cycle power of 24.91 W, which shows the
flywheel was able to improve the performance of the system by over 1100%.
The parameters found from the optimization schemes are only expected to be optimal for instantaneous hydrofoil flips; therefore, in order to characterize how the hydrofoil flip affects the system, the simulation was modified by setting the hydrofoil angle to 0 degrees for the duration of the flip time. The system was optimized again for various flip times. The simulation predicts that less power will be generated for increasing flip times until a flip time of 0.45 seconds is reached where the system cannot produce any power. Experimental testing on a small-scale system was performed to determine how much electrical energy is required to flip a hydrofoil for various flip times and submerged depth. All hydrofoil flips required less than 1 J, a small fraction of the predicted total cycle energy generated.

▼ Flywheel energy storage (FES) systems have recently gained momentum in the energy storage industry as a viable alternative to conventional lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries because they have superior energy density, faster charge rates, lack harmful chemicals, and are easy to repair. Contemporary FES research is focused on increasing the maximum operating speed of the rotor and reducing the power consumed by the active magnetic bearings. Therefore, the objective of this research was to implement a novel nonlinear controller called ‘wavelet-based time-frequency control’ (WFXLMS) in a computer simulation of a FES system with five degrees-of-freedom and compare its dynamic stability and active power consumption with a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) and fuzzy-logic controller scheme. Specifically, all three controllers were applied to a FES system operating at a high rate of speed and the amplitude of vibration, rate of convergence, and current draw were compared.
The results show that the ideal choice for a FES system is the WFXLMS controller. While it did draw the largest maximum current of any system, it used significantly less (half of PID and a quarter of fuzzy-logic’s) steady state current. This would drastically improve the energy storage duration; one of the main functions of a FES system. The WFXLMS controller is also the ideal system for higher operating speeds because of the system’s stability in the frequency domain. Comparing the average displacements shows that the WFXLMS controller had the largest average displacement (particularly in the z- axis), but the WFXLMS controller only used a fraction of the available clearance gap. If the FES system was used in an environment like space or a wind-farm where external excitations are limited, the WFXLMS controller is the clear choice. However, if external excitations are a real concern, the PID and fuzzy-logic controllers demonstrated a much quicker reaction time and would be the better choice.

▼ Utilizing flywheels to store and reuse energy from regenerative braking on
locomotives is a new technology being developed in the Vibration Control and
Electromechanics Lab at Texas A&M. This thesis focuses on the motion analysis of a
locomotive mounted energy storage
flywheel system for a variety of support motion
inputs. Two input cases, sinusoidal floor input and ramp input, are analyzed in different
sections. Simulation results and methods of ensuring the operating success of the
flywheel system are provided at the end of each section.
Section 1 introduces the problem and method being used to study the vibration
under different circumstances. Section 2 analyzes the response of the
flywheel system to
sinusoidal floor input given by Ahmadian and Venezia 2000. Natural frequency and
transmissibility of the system are utilized to explain the simulation results carried out in
the frequency domain. It is found that the motion differences between flywheels(rotors)
and magnetic bearings(stators) are guaranteed to be small. Section 3 emulates the
locomotive traversing a bump with 1:150 slope. Simulation shows that catcher(backup)
bearings are needed to limit the vibration of rotors through a bump. It is also found that gyroscopic effect causes problems in vibration isolation. Section 4 explores de-levitation
method and installation of gimbals as possible remedies to this problem. Finally, a
summary of simulation results from different input cases is made.

▼ Nesta dissertação, numa primeira fase, é efetuado um estudo ao estado da arte da qualidade de
energia elétrica e do volante de inércia mais conhecido por
flywheel. Como primeiro tópico da
primeira fase é efetuado um estudo das perturbações possíveis, baseado na sua forma de onda,
são representadas graficamente as diversas perturbações, é efetuada uma análise das possíveis
causas para cada perturbação e por fim, também são apresentadas as possíveis soluções para as
mesmas perturbações. Como possíveis soluções, são apresentados os vários sistemas de
armazenamento nomeadamente, UPS (fonte de alimentação ininterrupta), volantes de inércia,
entre outros sistemas. No segundo tópico é efetuada uma introdução ao sistema
flywheel,
apresentando alguns aspetos importantes, tais como as várias vantagens do seu uso como
sistema de armazenamento de energia, diferentes tipos de aplicações, sua constituição (formas,
tipos de matérias, máquina elétrica, entre outros) e são apresentados também os diferentes
tipos de aplicações, utilizando‐a como sistema de armazenamento.
A segunda fase é dedicada às equações fundamentais para o desenvolvimento duma
flywheel.
Neste caso são apresentadas várias equações para o cálculo da energia armazenada, momento
de inércia, tensões, entre muitas outras equações essenciais.
Na terceira fase é efetuada uma comparação entre diversos sistemas de armazenamento de
energia, usando tanto a tecnologia
flywheel como baterias tradicionais. Esta comparação foi
realizada em três categorias, 150 kVA, 600 kVA e 1200 kVA. Em cada categoria é realizada uma
comparação entre diversos fatores tais como: peso, custos, dimensões, limitações, regulações
possíveis e questões ambientais.
Como quarta fase, é apresentado um modelo de uma draga utilizando o sistema
flywheel como
armazenamento de energia. Neste modelo é apresentada a
flywheel como solução, uma vez que
armazena a energia recuperada dos processos eletromecânicos que necessitam de absorver
grandes quantidades de energia. Desta forma, consegue‐se uma redução no consumo de
energia. Os resultados da simulação mostram uma redução de 25% de energia e uma redução
entre 80% a 90% em todas as categorias de emissões.

▼ This master thesis was provided by ABB Cooperate Research in Västerås. This study has two major purposes: (1) to identify the characteristics of a flywheel energy storage system (FESS), (2) take the first steps in the development of a simulation model of a FESS.
For the first part of this master thesis a literature reviews was conducted with focus on energy storage technologies in general and FESS in particular. The model was developed in the simulation environment PSCAD/EMTDC; with the main purpose to provide working model for future studies of the electrical dynamics of a flywheel energy storage system.
The main conclusion of the literature review was that FESS is a promising energy storage solution; up to multiple megawatt scale. However, few large scale installations have so far been built and it is not a mature technology. Therefore further research and development is needed in multiple areas, including high strength composite materials, magnetic bearings and electrical machines. The model was implemented with the necessary control system and tested in a simulation case showing the operational characteristics.

▼ The increasing ownership of electric vehicles, in-home solar and wind generation, and wider penetration of renewable energies onto the power grid has created a need for grid-based energy storage to provide energy-neutral services. These services include frequency regulation, which requires short response-times, high power ramping capabilities, and several charge cycles over the course of one day; and diurnal load-/generation-following services to offset the inherent mismatch between renewable generation and the power grid's load profile, which requires low self-discharge so that a reasonable efficiency is obtained over a 24 hour storage interval. To realize the maximum benefits of energy storage, the technology should be modular and have minimum geographic constraints, so that it is easily scalable according to local demands. Furthermore, the technology must be economically viable to participate in the energy markets. There is currently no storage technology that is able to simultaneously meet all of these needs. This dissertation focuses on developing a new energy storage device based on flywheel technology to meet these needs. It is shown that the bearingless ac homopolar machine can be used to overcome key obstacles in flywheel technology, namely: unacceptable self-discharge and overall system cost and complexity. Bearingless machines combine the functionality of a magnetic bearing and a motor/generator into a single electromechanical device. Design of these machines is particularly challenging due to cross-coupling effects and trade-offs between motor and magnetic bearing capabilities. The bearingless ac homopolar machine adds to these design challenges due to its 3D flux paths requiring computationally expensive 3D finite element analysis. At the time this dissertation was started, bearingless ac homopolar machines were a highly immature technology. This dissertation advances the state-of-the-art of these machines through research contributions in the areas of magnetic modeling, winding design, control, and power-electronic drive implementation. While these contributions are oriented towards facilitating more optimal flywheel designs, they will also be useful in applying the bearingless ac homopolar machine in other applications. Example designs are considered through finite element analysis and experimental validation is provided from a proof-of-concept prototype that has been designed and constructed as a part of this dissertation.

▼ The rapid release of energy in mechanisms is often limited by conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy. The use of a
flywheel to store energy over time eliminates this constraint. Using this principle, a lightweight and compact energy transmission mechanism has been developed for robotic combat applications. The purpose of the proposed design is to throw an opposing robot ten or more feet into the air. This design incorporates a
flywheel, a self-resetting dog clutch with built in shock absorbing rubber for impact mitigation, and an optimized four-bar linkage to deliver the energy. A mathematical model of the dynamic system has been developed to analyze and aid in the design process. Testing of subsystems was performed to validate the design. A final design is proposed with the recommendation that it be built and tested. A validated design is applicable to many real-world problems that require rapid kinetic energy release including reconnaissance robots required to hop high fences.

▼ This study is about development of a new family of electric machines with two mechanical
and one/two electrical ports (Transmotors). These machines remove the limitations of the
conventional one shaft machines such as in EV & HEV vehicles. In particular, the kinetic energy
recovery application of Transmotors has been considered in this study. Transmotor-based
flywheel
energy exchange is a low cost, yet highly efficient method of energy transfer between vehicle
wheels and a lightweight
flywheel. This method utilizes one dual-rotor electric machine that
enables us to overcome some of the shortcomings of the conventional electric kinetic energy
recovery systems (KERS).The proposed system is capable of capturing far more mechanical power
than its electrical power ratings. Furthermore, since a significant part of the energy exchange takes
place in mechanical form, only a small fraction of the initial kinetic energy needs to be processed
by the electrical energy storage device and the power electronic drive system. In this study, the
proposed Transmotor-based KERS has been compared with the conventional electric KERS.
Mathematical modeling and computer simulations were performed using space vector modeling
method for both conventional electric KERS and the proposed system. Results show that the
proposed system is capable of capturing a great part of kinetic energy of a vehicle during
deceleration and storing it in a lightweight
flywheel to be used for the next acceleration while
keeping the electrical ratings of the KERS relatively low. Experimental results are also presented
for the proof of the concept.

▼ Syfte och frågeställning Syftet med denna studie är att identifiera effekten av svänghjulsträning på styrkerelaterade variabler som påverkar idrottslig prestation genom en sammanställning av befintlig vetenskaplig litteratur. Studiens frågeställning var: (1) Vilken effekt har svänghjulsträning på muskeltillväxt (hypertrofi)? (2) Vilken effekt har svänghjulsträning på utvecklingen av maximal styrka? (3) Vilken effekt har svänghjulsträning på utvecklingen av Power (effektutveckling)? (4) Vilken effekt har svänghjulsträning på horisontell förflyttning? (5) Vilken effekt har svänghjulsträning på vertikal förflyttning? Metod En metaanalys för 15 experimentella studier som uppfyllt urvalskriterierna genomfördes. De inkluderade studierna kvalitetsgranskades med Pedros skala. För att möjliggöra en sammanställning av samtliga resultat analyserades resultaten i dataprogrammet Review Manager version 5.3 med Random effekt modell och presenteras med Forest plots. Jämförelserna gjordes över en period på 4-24 veckor. Resultat Svänghjulsträning under en period av 4-24 veckor visar på en statistisk signifikant utveckling av muskulär hypertrofi (effektstorlek 0,68), maximal styrka (1,40), Power (1,0), horisontell (0,54) och vertikal förflyttning (0,60). Slutsats Det finns stöd i litteraturen för att friska individer presterar bättre på så väl dynamiska styrketest som funktionella test efter svänghjulsträning. Evidensen är särskilt stark för att svänghjulsträning utvecklar maximal styrka och Power för tränade yngre individer samt i kortare mer intensiva block. Denna metaanalys har bara sammanställt skillnader i prestation före och efter svänghjulsträning och kan därför inte säga om effekten av svänghjulsträning är större än effekten av upprepade mätningar eller annan träning.
Aim The aim of this study was to identify the effect of the flywheel training on strength-related variables that affect athletic performance by compiling existing scientific literature. Research questions: (1) What effect does flywheel training have on muscle growth (hypertrophy)? (2) What effect does flywheel training have on the development of maximum strength? (3) What effect does flywheel training have on the development of Power (effect development)? (4) What effect does flywheel training have on the development of horizontal movement? (5) What effect does flywheel training have on the development of vertical movement? Method A meta-analysis was conducted from 15 experimental studies that met the selection criteria. The quality of included studies was reviewed by Pedro scale. In order to identify possible bias in the selection process a Funnel plot was carried out. To enable the compilation of all results an analyze with Random effect model was carried out with software Review Manager Version 5.3 and presented with Forest plots. Comparisons were made over a period of 4-24…

▼ The effect of variable inertia
flywheel (VIF) on the driving speed fluctuation, and residual vibration of high speed machine systems is investigated in this thesis. Different variable inertia flywheels are proposed to an experimental purpose roller gear cam system and a commercial super high speed paper box folding machine. The effects of time varying inertia and intermittent cam motion on the dynamic responses of different high speed cam droved mechanism systems are simulated numerically. The nonlinear time varied system models are derived by applying the Lagrangeâs equation and torque-equilibrium equations. The dynamic responses of these two nonlinear systems under different operating speed are simulated by employing the 4th order Runge-Kutta method.
The effects of VIF parameters on the dynamic responses, i.e. the output precision, variation of motor speed, and torque, during the active and dwell periods for these two systems are studied and discussed. The difference between the dynamic responses of constant inertia and variable inertia
flywheel systems are also compared. The feasibility and effectiveness of depression of driving speed and torque fluctuations by analying variable inertia
flywheel has also been demonstrated.

▼ ããThe dynamic power flow in a dual-input parallel planetary gear train system is simulated in this study. Different wind powers for the small wind turbines are merged to the synchronous generator in this system to simplify and reduce the cost of the system. Nonlinear equations of motion of these gears in the planetary system are derived. The fourth order Runge-Kutta method has employed to calculate the time varied torque, root stress and Hertz stress between engaged gears. The genetic optimization method has also applied to derive the optimized tooth form factors, e.g. module and the tooth face width.
ããThe dynamic power flow patterns in this dual input system under various input conditions, e.g. two equal and unequal input powers, only single available input power, have been simulated and illustrated. The corresponding dynamic stress and safety factor variations have also been explored. Numerical results reveal that the proposed dual-input planetary gear system is feasible. To improve the efficiency of this wind power generation system. An inertia variable
flywheel system has also been added at the output end to store or release the kinetic energies at higher or lower wind speed cases. A magnetic density variable synchronous generator has also been studied in this work to investigate the possible efficiency improvement in the system. Numerical results indicate that these inertia variable
flywheel and magnetic density variable generator may have advantages in power generation.

▼ AbstractDesign, Analysis, and Testing of Large Capacity Kinetic Energy Storage SystemsbySiyuan XinDoctor of Philosophy in Engineering – Mechanical EngineeringUniversity of California, BerkeleyProfessor David Steigmann, ChairGlobal warming, climate change and pollution caused by the traditional energy generation technologies have become some of the biggest threats in today’s world. And the need for more energy is ever increasing. Development of renewable energy, such as solar and wind, as well as distributed smart grids are needed to replace the old energy production methods. Governments have set goals of increasing the proportion of clean energy generation. One major limiting factor of the development of renewable energy is that these energy sources is not as reliable and as stable as the traditional power sources to meet the energy demand. This problem can only be effectively solved by the use of energy storage to store excess power produced by the renewable energy sources. Therefore, energy storage, especially large scale energy storage systems, will be the key factor for enabling renewable energy to become the primary sources of energy. Current energy storage technologies include batteries, flywheel, supercapacitors, pumped hydro, and so on. But due to the issues of capacity, efficiency, life cycles or costs of these current energy storage technologies, a large scale energy storage system that has low cost, long life cycles and high efficiency is yet to be developed to be integrated with renewable energy generation and smart grids. In this work, the design, analysis and tests of large scale flywheel energy storage systems are carried out. The flywheel energy storage system will feature a large steel rotor. Theoretical analysis of the stress distribution of the rotor is discussed to give a parametric view of the key elements in the design. Material testing such as tensile tests, fracture toughness tests, and fatigue crack propagation tests are conducted to characterize the behavior of the rotor material. Finite element method is used to analyze the stress-strain distribution of the rotor in order to optimize the shape of the rotor and determine the rotational speed. Also frequency analysis using finite element method gives the dynamic response of the rotor. Catastrophic failure of the rotor can cause big damages and need to be prevented from happening. And therefore, fracture mechanics is applied to analyze the safety margin and estimate the lifetime of the flywheel system. Post failure analysis is also discussed in case of rotor failure. Energy storage efficiency is a crucial factor in order for the flywheel energy storage system to be applicable. The rotor is kept in low vacuum pressure to minimize aerodynamic drag and improve energy storage efficiency. An analytical model of aerodynamic drag on the rotor is developed. Experimental measurements of drag power loss on a disc rotor inside a controlled vacuum chamber are compared to the predicted results of the analytical model. Design of sub-systems such as bearings…

▼ To achieve passive vibration control, an adaptive flywheel design is proposed and fabricated from two different materials. The corresponding mathematical models for the adaptive flywheels are developed. A two-terminal hydraulic device and a two-terminal inverse screw device are introduced to analyze the two adaptive flywheels. Experiments are carried out to identify key parameters for both the two-terminal hydraulic system and the inverse screw system. The performance of three different suspension systems are evaluated; these are the traditional suspension system, the suspension system consisting of an ideal two-terminal device with constant flywheel and the suspension system consisting of an ideal two-terminal device with an adaptive flywheel (AFW suspension system). Results show that the AFW suspension system can outperform the other two suspension systems under certain conditions. The performance of a suspension system with the adaptive flywheel under different changing ratio is evaluated, and an optimal changing ratio is identified under certain circumstances.
To obtain the steady-state response of the two-terminal device with adaptive flywheel, three different methods have been applied in this thesis. These methods are the single harmonic balance method, the multi-harmonic balance method and the scanning iterative multi-harmonic balance method, respectively. Compared to the single harmonic balance method, the multi-harmonic balance method provides a much more accurate system response. However, the proposed scanning iterative multi-harmonic balance method provides more accurate system response than the single harmonic balance method with much less computational effort.

▼ Research shows that flywheels have a significant potential for improving the performance of EV (Electric Vehicle) drivelines. Flywheels can be used as power buffers that even out the energy flow between the primary energy storage device and the EV traction motor. This improves the potential energy density and extends the lifetime of the primary energy storage device of the EV.
In this degree project a prototype of a flywheel-buffered driveline was constructed. The flywheel chosen was an electric motor/generator constructed at the Division of Electricity at Uppsala University. Lead acid batteries were used as the primary energy storage device in the driveline and the traction motor was a DC-motor.
Two DC/DC buck converters were designed for the driveline. The first limited the current from the batteries to the flywheel and the second controlled the power from the flywheel to the traction motor. Both converters were controlled by microcontrollers. The current limiter was controlled by a hysteresis controller and the DC-motor power was regulated manually, under the constraint of a maximum current PI-controller. The buck circuits were simulated in MATLAB Simulink prior to their construction.
The performance of the driveline was satisfactory, despite the poor efficiency of the DC-motor. The results showed that the efficiency of the flywheel and the power converters was relatively high and that the flywheel had excellent power-buffering properties.

▼ Cutter suction dredgers are a type of hydraulic dredgers often used in areas with hard soil where other types of dredging vessels would be ineffective. As a result of the wide range of type of soil that is being cut a lot of variation is seen in the power demand on the cutter suction dredger's diesel-electric power generation system. Consequently, the load on the main diesel engines rapidly changes. To smoothen power demand the addition of an energy storage system to the power generation system is investigated to reduce the load variation experienced by the main engines. Reduction of the load variation is also relevant for the application of dual fuel engines in cutter suction dredgers. For dual fuel engines exceeding of the loading limit poses a significant risk of the main engines switching from combustion of (liquefied) natural gas to combustion of diesel fuel to prevent misfiring or engine knocking. Better control of the engine load is expected to allow continuous combustion of liquefied natural gas during dredging operation. From the analysis of the power demand measured during dredging operation it is concluded that energy storage systems capable of delivering high power and have relatively low energy storage capability are best suited for this application. Based on the required characteristics
flywheel energy storage and supercapacitor energy storage are selected as suitable energy storage systems. For both energy storage systems a simulation model is created based on available literature. A benchmark simulation model of the driveline of a cutter suction dredger, including the power generation system and electrical network, is created and validated using measurement data. The power and energy storage capacity of the energy storage system are determined by exceeding of the loading capacity of the main engines defined by the engine manufacturer during several months of continuous dredging operation. Separate cases are investigated where a supercapacitor energy storage system and a
flywheel energy storage system are added. Simulation results are compared to the results of the benchmark model. Furthermore, simulations are conducted where the main diesel engines are replaced by dual fuel engines running on liquefied natural gas with a methane number of 80. Results show that both energy storage systems are capable of increasing the percentage of load variation within the engine limit on the original driveline from 91% to at least 99%. For dual fuel engines it is found that without an energy storage system 75% of the load variation is within the engine's loading limit, meaning switching to diesel fuel is inevitable during dredging operation. The addition of an energy storage system increases the percentage of load variation within the engine's loading limit to at least 98%. While the engine limit is still rarely exceeded, further analysis showed that the air excess ratio stays between the knock limit and misfire limit, meaning no switching to diesel fuel is required. As a result, continuous dredging…

▼ Kinetic energy storage via flywheels is an emerging avenue for hybrid vehicle research, offering both high energy and power density compared to more established electric and hydraulic alternatives. However, connecting the high speed
flywheel to the relatively low speed drivetrain of the vehicle is a persistent challenge, requiring a transmission with high variability and efficiency. A proposed solution drawing inspiration from the electrical domain is the Switch-Mode Continuously Variable Transmission (SM CVT), which uses a high speed clutch to transfer energy to a torsion spring in discrete pulses with a variable duty cycle. The greatest limitation to the performance of this system is the speed and efficiency of commercial clutch technology. It is the goal of this thesis to develop a novel clutch which meets the actuation speed, controllability, and efficiency requirements of the SM CVT, with potential for reapplication in other rotary mechanical systems with switching functionality. The performance demands of the clutch were derived via a theoretical design case based on the performance requirements of a typical passenger vehicle, indicating the need for a sub-millisecond engagement and disengagement cycle. This is not met by any conventional clutch. Several concepts were considered across the fluid, electromagnetic and mechanical energy domains. A final concept was chosen which employs a friction disk style architecture, with normal force produced by compressing springs via an axial cam mounted to the
flywheel. To control duty cycle, the cam was designed with a radially varying profile such that increasing radial position results in proportionally increasing ratio of high dwell to low dwell. Three synchronized followers are then translated radially on the cam by a control linkage. Analysis of the follower train dynamics and system stiffness were carried out to inform the design of a scaled benchtop prototype. Experimental testing was carried out to characterize the performance of the prototype. It was found that the intended functionality of the design was achieved, with discrete energy transfer accomplished via pulsing of the clutch. However, maximum efficiency was only 33% and torque capacity was only 65% of the intended 70Nm. Significant opportunity exists for improvement of the clutch performance in future research.

▼ A filament-wound spinning composite disk is characterised by the mosaic-patterned configuration of the layers produced during a filament-winding process. In this structure, each helically wound layer consists of curved triangular-shaped units alternating in the radial and circumferential directions. The mosaic-patterned configuration is not normally considered in the general stress analysis procedures based on the conventional modelling of laminated composite structures, including those available in FEA packages. However, the filament-winding mosaic pattern of the composite layer could significantly affect the stress fields developed due to rotational loading. Therefore, a methodology for the FE modelling and analysis of the filament-wound disk taking into account this effect is developed and structural analyses are performed using ANSYS, with different types of filament-winding mosaic patterns incorporated. Also, the disk is modelled and analysed using a conventional method and the differences in predicted stress values from both techniques are demonstrated through distributions of various stresses.The modelling governed by the first order shear deformation theory is performed using the SHELL 281 element. Firstly, using a conventional approach, the filament-wound composite disk is modelled as a laminated circular plate composed of different numbers of plies in which interlacing of plies due to filament-winding is not considered. Alternatively, three designs composed of 4, 8 and 14 plies are chosen to model the mosaic-patterned structure and to demonstrate changes in the stress levels in different layers and the extent of the influence of ply interlacing. Each design is associated with three types of mosaic-patterned configurations, namely 4, 6 and 8 mosaic units around the circumference of the disk. The disk is rotated at a constant angular velocity with the boundary conditions to prevent in-plane rigid body motions in both the radial and circumferential directions and also out-of-plane rigid body motion in the axial direction. As observed, the stress levels in the thin filament-wound composite
flywheel disk could be underestimated in case of a structural analysis using the conventional mechanics of laminated structures.The layers of the filament-wound composite
flywheel disk are reinforced with radially varying fibre trajectories that result in continuous changes in fibre orientation angles which generate stiffness variations and composite laminates with such stiffness variations are called variable-stiffness laminates. Thus, varying fibre trajectories should be modelled accurately to incorporate the actual stiffness variations for FEA of variable-stiffness composite structures. Therefore, a modelling approach is developed that would take into account the continuously varying fibre orientation angles derived from the predefined changing fibre trajectories. FE modelling of variable-stiffness laminates is performed using the proposed method and corresponding results obtained from various analyses are reported.Based…

▼ This thesis describes the development of the INSTAR system: a high-power, cost-effective energy storage system designed to improve HEV regenerative braking capabilities by combining chemical batteries with an electromechanical flywheel. This combination allows the regenerative braking system in hybrid vehicles to recapture more available braking energy at a lower battery pack charging current, increasing vehicle energy efficiency while also potentially increasing battery life.A prototype flywheel energy storage system and electric vehicle test platform were built to test the design. A novel open loop controller was developed to manage the power flow between the traction motors, battery pack, and flywheel energy storage system. The flywheel was designed to hold 30 Wh at 25,000 RPM, but can easily scale to larger vehicles. Experiments were conducted for speeds up to 11,000 RPM and power levels up to 2.5 kW. Round trip efficiency of 70% for the flywheel energy storage system alone were achieved and battery charging current was successfully limited during regenerative braking by absorbing energy with the flywheel energy system. The flywheel energy storage system successfully returned the stored energy, minus parasitic losses, back to the battery pack at controlled rates.

▼ An investigation of the creep behavior of polymer composites was performed in developing a closed-form structural model of advanced polymer matrix composite (PMC) flywheels. The model is of the linear-viscoelastic type, and is applicable to the design and analysis of multiple concentric-ring PMC
flywheel rotors in a state of plane-stress. This model incorporates techniques for approximating the quasi-static response to general time-varying loads including rotation, temperature change, and interference-fits between adjacent rings. The model accounts for the effect of temperature on the material response using the time-temperature superposition principle. The quasi-elastic technique was used to discretize the linear viscoelastic constitutive law, allowing the derivation of approximate solutions for the stress and strain field variables. Experimental work performed in support of this model includes thermo-viscoelastic characterization of a unidirectional glass/epoxy composite. Experimental measurement of pressure loss and strain redistribution in interference-fitted filament-wound glass and carbon fiber PMC ring pairs was performed using moir¨¦ interferometry and electrical resistance strain gages. Good agreement between the data and the plane-stress model at locations away from the ring interfaces was obtained. With the purpose of making creep measurements through the radial thickness of high-speed rotating flywheels, a new optical displacement measurement method was developed. Notable improvements over a known related method include greater displacement sensitivity, the ability to measure rigid body vibrations and separate the associated vibration-induced displacement from the strain-induced displacement, and the ability to compensate for sensor drift during
flywheel operation. Displacement measurements made on an aluminum rotor operating at a maximum speed of 16 krpm (255 m/s at the point of measurement) were made with 1-micrometer accuracy. At this speed, hoop strains were found to be within 40 to 125 microstrain of theoretical predictions. Relative to the theoretical hoop strains, the measured hoop strains differed by 5-6% at 16 krpm.

▼ In this study, a novel concept for a downhole
flywheel energy storage module to be embedded in a bottom-hole-assembly (BHA) is presented and modeled, as an alternative power source to existing lithium-ion battery packs currently deployed in measurement-while-drilling (MWD) or logging-while-drilling (LWD) operations. Lithium-ion batteries disadvantages include deteriorated performance in high temperature, limited lifetime that necessitates frequent replacement which elevates operational costs, and environmental disposal. Extreme and harsh downhole conditions necessitate that the
flywheel module withstands temperatures and pressures exceeding 300 ?F and 20 kpsi, respectively, as well as violent vibrations encountered during drilling. Moreover, the
flywheel module should adhere to the geometric constraints of the wellbore and its corresponding BHA.
Hence, a
flywheel sizing procedure was developed that takes into consideration the required energy to be stored, the surrounding environmental conditions, and the geometric constraints. A five-axis magnetic levitation control system was implemented and tuned to maintain continuous suspension of the
flywheel under the harsh lateral, axial and torsional drilling vibrations of the BHA. Thus, an integrated finite element model was developed that included the rotordynamic behavior of the
flywheel and the BHA, the component dynamics of the magnetic levitation control system, and the cutting dynamics of the drillbit for both PDC and tricone types. The model also included a newly developed coupling between lateral, axial and torsional vibrations. It was demonstrated through simulations conducted by numerical integration that the
flywheel maintains levitation due to all different types of external vibration as well as its own lateral vibration due to mass unbalance. Moreover, a passive proof-mass-damper (PPMD) was developed that suppresses axial bit-bounce vibrations as well as torsional vibrations, and was extended to also mitigate lateral vibrations. Optimized values of the mass, stiffness and damping values of the PPMD were obtained by the hybrid analytical-numerical Chebyshev spectral method that was superior in computational efficiency to iterative numerical integration. This also enabled the fine-plotting of an operating stability chart indicating stability regions where bit-bounce and stick-slip are avoided. The proof-mass-damping concept was extended to the
flywheel to be an active proof-mass-damper (APMD) where simulations indicated functionality for a light-weight BHA.

▼ Energy storing
flywheel rotor technology has yet to be fully optimized given the design possibilities. There have been many design approaches that have been published over the years, but no overall comparisons of the many manufacturable design options have been put forth. This research increases understanding of how boundary constraints coupled with optimization objective selection can affect optimized designs. This research also compares different design options by searching for the global optimum for all cases investigated: (A) varying the fiber/matrix ratio of each material ring in the composite rotor; (B) including radial fibers in addition to the circumferential fibers for each material ring; (C) co-mingling two fiber materials with a variable ratio in each material ring; (D) material ring press-fitting; and (E) matrix ballasting, where high-density particles can infiltrate the matrix to vary the density, stiffness, and thermal coefficient of expansion within each material ring. The results show that fixing both the outer and inner rotor radii in an optimization search produces a highly restrictive design constraint compared to when at least one of the radii are allowed to vary. The combinations that hold the most promise without producing overly restrictive, trivial, or degenerate solutions are as follows: (1) total stored energy, fixed outer radius, (2) specific energy, fixed outer radius, with a minimum total stored energy constraint. Concerning the design options, (B) has been shown to be a very poor design choice and should not be used. Option (D) has shown to have great potential in maximizing both total stored energy and specific energy, being the single best design option investigated. However, if the inner radius is allowed to vary, the total stored energy can be comparably maximized by combining options (C) and (E). Option (E) was found to be the second best design option with consistent reliability in improving performance.

▼ Efficient energy storage and cost-effective solutions are vital for electric vehicle applications.
As it is widely known, the battery pack of an electric vehicle is a significant component that
determines the range and price of the electric vehicle mostly. The recent trend in electric vehicles is
using Li-Ion battery packs as the primary energy source. However, Li-Ion battery technology is still
immature and its cost is higher than other battery solutions. Although the range of recent electric
vehicles has been improved significantly with this recent battery type, their range is still less than
conventional vehicles and their market price is almost twice of a gasoline fueled-vehicle. This has
brought about new electric powertrain configurations to increase the vehicle energy efficiency.
Regenerative braking is a feature that increases the energy efficiency of an electric vehicle by
capturing the kinetic energy and storing it in the electrical energy storage unit. This unique feature
leads to drive some extra miles with an electric vehicle. However, the round-trip efficiency of the
regenerative braking is quite low in applications. The powertrain components in an electric vehicle
have more than 90% efficiency values. Improving the efficiency of the electrical machine or the
power processor unit would not increase the regenerative braking efficiency because of the overall
energy efficiency chain. In addition, regenerative braking has a power limitation that is the rated
electrical power. Because of these reasons, if we would like to improve the range of an electric
vehicle, we need to increase the regenerative braking capability. Energy form conversions should
be avoided and mechanical form of the energy in the vehicle should be kept the same as much as
possible.
In this study, we introduced a magnetically coupled three-port electric machine, the transmotor.
The transmotor consists of two mechanical ports that are decoupled and an electrical port for
the power processor unit connection. In vehicle applications, the first mechanical port can be
connected wheels. The second mechanical port in the machine can be connected a mechanical
energy storage device such as a
flywheel. Hence, the structure of the transmotor creates two
mechanical paths for the energy exchange. This two-path energy exchange feature can be used to
enhance the regenerative braking capability of electric powertrains.
We developed a new powertrain configuration for electric vehicles that is called
Flywheel
Transmotor (FWT) powertrain. Application of the transmotor and a
flywheel in an electric powertrain
was presented. This new powertrain configuration was applied in a commercial electric
vehicle, Nissan Leaf 2012 that is currently in the electric vehicle market. Simulation models were
developed for the existing powertrain of the vehicle and
flywheel transmotor powertrain. Standard
drive cycles were used to run simulations. Simulation results of the new powertrain configuration
were presented and compared with the conventional Nissan Leaf 2012…

▼ Recent trends in energy production have led to a renewed interest in improving grid level energy storage solutions. Flywheel energy storage is an attractive option for grid level storage, however, it suffers from high parasitic loss. This study investigates the extent to which passive diamagnetic bearings, a form of electromagnetic bearing, can help reduce this parasitic loss. Such bearings require three main components: a weight compensation mechanism (lifter-floater), a stabilizing mechanism and an electrical machine. This study makes use of a new radial modification of an existing linear multi-plattered diamagnetic bearing. Here a prototype is built and analytical expressions derived for each of the three main components. These expressions provide a method of estimating displacements, fields, forces, energy and stiffness in the radial diamagnetic bearing. The built prototype solution is found to lift a 30 [g] mass using six diamagnetic platters for stabilization (between ring magnets) with a disc lifter and spherical floater for weight compensation. The relationship between mass and number of platters was found to be linear, suggesting that, up to a point, increases in mass are likely possible and indicating that significant potential exists for these bearings where high stiffness is not needed – for instance in flywheel energy storage. The study examines methods of reducing bearing (parasitic) losses and demonstrates that losses occur in three main forms during idling: air-friction losses, electrical machine losses, stabilizing machine losses. Low speed (158 [rpm]) air-friction losses are found to be the dominant loss at 0.1 [W/m3]. The focus of this study, however, is on loss contributions resulting from the bearing’s electrical machine and stabilizing machine. Stabilizing machine losses are found to be very low at: 1 × 10−6 [W/m3] – this leaves electrical machine losses as the dominant loss. Such electrical machine losses are analysed and divided into eddy current loss and hysteresis loss. Two components of hysteresis loss are remanent field related cogging loss and remagetization loss. Eddy current losses in silicon steel laminations in an electrical machine are quite high, especially at high speeds, with losses in the order of 1 × 105 [W/m3]. Noting the further high cost of producing single unit quantities of custom lamination-based electrical machine prototypes, this high loss prompts a look at potentially lower cost ferrite materials for building these machines. A commercial sample of soft magnetite ferrite is shown to have equivalent eddy current losses of roughly 1 × 10−13 [W/m3]. The study notes that micro-structured magnetite has significant hysteresis loss. Such loss is in the order of 1 × 10−3 [W/m3] when referring to both remanence related cogging and remagnetization. This study, thus, extends its examination of loss to nano-structured magnetite. Magnetite nano-particles have shown superparamagnetic (no hysteresis) behaviour that promises the elimination of hysteresis losses. A co-precipitation route…

▼ The area of misfire detection is important because of the effects of misfires on both the environment and the exhaust system. Increasing requirements on the detection performance means that improvements are always of interest. In this thesis, potential improvements to an existing misfire detection algorithm are evaluated. The improvements evaluated are: using Gaussian processes to model the classifier, alternative signal treatments for detection of multiple misfires, and effects of where flywheel tooth angle error estimation is performed. The improvements are also evaluated for their suitability for use on-line. Both the use of Gaussian processes and the detection of multiple misfires are hard problems to solve while maintaining detection performance. Gaussian processes most likely loses performance due to loss of dependence between the weights of the classifier. It can give performance similar to the original classifier, but with greatly increased complexity. For multiple misfires, the performance can be slightly improved without loss of single misfire performance. Greater improvements are possible, but at the cost of single misfire performance. The decision is in the end down to the desired trade-off. The flywheel tooth angle error compensation gives nearly identical performance regardless of where it is estimated. Consequently the error estimation can be separated from the signal processing, allowing the implementation to be modular. Using an EKF for estimating the flywheel errors on-line is found to be both feasible and give good performance. Combining the separation of the error estimation from the signal treatment with a, after initial convergence, heavily restricted EKF gives a vastly reduced computational load for only a moderate loss of performance.
