Passive magnetic bearings for vehicular electromechanical batteries

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/15007279· OSTI ID:15007279
This report describes the design of a passive magnetic bearing system to be used in electromechanical batteries (flywheel energy storage modules) suitable for vehicular use. One or two such EMB modules might, for example, be employed in a hybrid-electric automobile, providing efficient means for power peaking, i.e., for handling acceleration and regenerative braking power demands at high power levels. The bearing design described herein will be based on a ''dual-mode'' operating regime.
