Abstract
Developing a flywheel energy storage system (FESS) with permanent magnetic bearing (PMB) and spiral groove bearing (SGB) brings a great challenge to dynamic control for the rotor system. In this paper, a pendulum-tuned mass damper is developed for 100 kg-class FESS to suppress low-frequency vibration of the system; the dynamic model with four degrees-of-freedom is built for the FESS using Lagrange's theorem; mode characteristics, critical speeds, and unbalance responses of the system are analyzed via theory and experiment. A comparison between the theoretical results and the experiment ones shows that the pendulum-tuned mass damper is effective, the dynamic model is appropriate, and the FESS can run smoothly within the working speed range.
