Abstract

This paper describes a novel concept and configuration of Electric Vehicle powered by flywheel with Active Magnetic Bearing suspended by gimbal mechanism to the vehicle body. The entire system consists of AMB Flywheel Energy Storage including energy charger/discharger module, mechanical 2-DOF gimbal, steer-by-wire module, and autonomous driving module as the supervising controller.
This paper shows the results of outdoor field experiments such as the feasibility test of steer-by-wire system, the implementation of input shaping to reduce vibration and gyroscopic effects, simple adaptive control method for flywheel attitude control, and the efficiency measurement of the energy conversion system.
