Electromechanical/electromagnetics working group summaryThe component and system technology issues associated with suspension and power conversion systems for the flywheel were discussed. The development of the technology consists of three major steps and encompasses a complementary mix of analytical efforts and hardware development for validation of design approaches and concept implementations. The major elements included: (1) studies to determine the optimal system configuration considering gimballed and nongimballed wheel concepts and incorporating the best 1984 component technology. These studies must also address the impact of rotor configuration on other elements of the system such as motor/generators and magnetic suspension systems to permit the selection of the optimal configuration for the demonstration phase; (2) focus the development program on integration and demonstration of a complete system which includes the rotor, suspension, and power conversion subsystems which emphasis efficiency; (3) conduct a technology program on motor/generators, suspension systems, gimbals, and sensors to take advantage of known technological advances.
