Abstract

We report on the NEDO project of superconducting magnetic bearing (SMB) technologies for flywheel energy storage system. We fabricated SMB modules which consist of a stator of roof-tile shape YBaCuO bulks and a NdFeB permanent magnet circuit. The levitation force density of the bearings was 9 N/cm 2. It was confirmed that pre-loading and excess cooling methods are both effective for suppressing the gradual fall of rotor due to flux creep. We designed a basic concept of 10 kW h class flywheel energy storage system and investigated the feasibility of active magnetic bearings for the 10 kW h system. We also examined the fabrication condition of CFRP flywheels for the system.
