Abstract
Power flow control methods between a flywheel battery and a load have been studied. In the most case, single load is assumed for single flywheel battery. A power flow method from several flywheel batteries to several loads or flywheels is required to apply the flywheel batteries to the future power distribution systems.
In this paper, we propose a power flow control method from several battery-side flywheels to several loadside flywheels simultaneously. All the flywheels are connected to a DC bus whose voltage is VN. The battery flywheels provide the power to the DC bus to keep VN constant. The load flywheels are accelerated according to a reference value of the rotating speed. Hence, the power is provided from the battery flywheels to the load flywheels through the DC bus. Two simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the method.
