      Study of a reluctance magnetic gearbox for energy storage system application - Bruno Fensterseifer Dias

      1 INTRODUCTION

      This chapter consists of a contextualization section, a section with this works goals and justifications and a section describing the chapters that follow.

      1.1 CONTEXTUALIZATION

      As the demand for energy rises and the use of renewable energies becomes more common, most of which have an inconstant energy production, energy storage systems have become more important to regulate the energy flows in energy grids.

      Energy storage systems based on kinetic energy, where one of the most common topology is the flywheel, can store energy in a rotating mass with high velocity and inertia. Given that the energy stored increases with the square of the velocity, it is usual to use very high velocities rather than very high inertias. By applying forces and torques to the rotating mass, energy can be transferred to and from the rotating mass. In order to reduce the losses from friction with the air and others, this kind of topology uses vacuum chambers and magnetic levitation to increase performance.

      The forces applied to the rotating mass of a Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS) are produced by rotary electric machines usually. A separated magnetic actuator is responsible for levitating the rotating mass and maintaining it stable. In order to achieve this stable levitation there are a few options available. A fully active system can be used to levitate and maintain the stability. This approach has the disadvantage of requiring all the forces to be generated with current, which implies in higher losses. Since the gravitational forces can be considered constant, and are responsible for the larger part of the forces required to levitate and maintain the stability of the rotating mass, a passive system can be used to provide the forces to achieve the magnetic levitation. To compensate any oscillation a smaller active system is added to assure the stability and safety of the levitation. This combination of a passive and an active system results in higher efficiencies than the one in a fully active system. This work is part of a project to develop an FESS that uses a High Temperature Superconductor (HTS) to provide the levitation forces that will be assisted by an active system to achieve a stable condition.

      The use of an electric machine inside a vacuum chamber incurs in a few challenges, such as thermal dissipation issues due to the vacuum environment and the need to adjust the vacuum chamber to accommodate the electric machine. As the FESS topology usually employs very high velocities, the electric machine must be designed to be able to operate in the full spam of velocities, from start up to full speed. Both this issues can be solved by using a Magnetic Gearbox (MG) to transfer energy from the outside of the vacuum chamber and provide a speed gain from the electric machine to the rotating mass. Some MGs uses a modulation ring, a set of ferromagnetic pieces allocated between rotors, which can be inserted into a wall to achieve coupling between rotors on each side of the wall. The modulation ring also allows for rotors with different number of poles to be coupled, resulting in a speed conversion should one rotor be spun and the other be allowed to rotate. Combining the possibility to transfer energy through a wall and the speed conversion of a MG, a conventional electric machine can be used outside the vacuum chamber to transfer energy from and to the rotating mass. This work proposes the use of a MG as a way to solve the issues of the electric machine inside the vacuum chamber and the need for high speeds in the project previously described. If Fig. 1 is shown the proposed topology of the project, where in this work the use of the MG will be studied and explained.

      Figure 1 - Project concept

      Source: The author

      In Fig. 1 it can be seen a green cylinder attached on one end to a magnet and on the other end to the inner rotor of the MG. The magnet attached to the rotating mass is repelled by the HTS, resulting in a levitation force to be generated. The inner rotor of the MG, attached to the other end of the rotating mass is magnetically coupled with the outer rotor. Since the outer rotor is connected to the primary machine, a conventional electric machine, energy can be transferred from and to the rotating mass inside the vacuum chamber. The result is a FESS that has a conventional electric machine outside the vacuum chamber and uses a HTS to provide the bulk of forces required to levitate the rotating mass.

      1.2 GOALS AND JUSTIFICATION

      The goals of this work are:

      - To study a way to transfer energy in between the external primary machine outside the vacuum chamber and the rotating mass inside the latter and without contact between them.

      - Keep losses as low as possible when not transferring energy to and from the rotating mass.

      - Provide a speed gain from the primary machine to the rotating mass, so conventional low-speed electrical machines can be used.

      - To consider all the aspects involving energy storage systems with a magnetically levitated rotating mass to the design of the topology.

      1.3 CHAPTERS DISTRIBUTION

      The chapters that follow are divided into a chapter of the state of the art and literature review, a chapter for the proposed topology and its considerations, a chapter about the magnetic design and simulations carried out, a chapter about the mechanical design, and a chapter with the conclusions and recommendations.

      2 MAGNETIC GEARBOXES

      Magnetic Gearboxes (MG) have been the focus of studies and publications since 1940, with the development over the years described in [1]. The first coaxial planetary magnetic gearbox was first proposed in 2001 [2]. Since the 2000s, the incorporation of MG in motors has been proposed to reduce the overall size of the drive system [3]. The number of publications about MGs has increased as higher energy product magnets become more available and cheaper. One of the applications that have been generating several articles about MG is their use on wind generators [4-6].

      One of the most important features of MG is the protection from overload. If an excessive torque is applied, the MG will lose synchronism and start slipping poles, instead of breaking as it occurs with mechanical gearboxes. Once the excessive torque is removed, the MG will automatically recover the synchronism. MGs also require less maintenance as they do not require lubrication and operate without contact between its parts. They also generate less noise [7-13].

      The magnetic flux modulation principle can be explained as shown in [14]. In order to explain the magnetic flux modulation,
