When the flywheel energy storage system(FESS)begins to be charged at stationary state
due to the large inertia and low speed acceleration of the FESS
the speed may fluctuate in conventional vector control schedule. To solve this problem
a new strategy is proposed to reduce the speed fluctuation by taking the calculated speed instead of the observed speed from the model reference adaptive system(MRAS)algorithm and by replacing the feedback current with the reference current. When the FESS is discharged
the output power of the motor ought to be adjusted according to the load demand
and a motor control algorithm is advanced to keep the DC voltage at a certain level for this purpose. Before the FESS operating
the current motor speed is used as the initial integral value of the conventional PI controller to facilitate increasiing the convergence rate of MRAS algorithm. Compared with the conventional control schedule
the proposed strategy enables to minimize the speed fluctuation near zero speed when the FESS is charged form stationary state
and to keep the normal load working when the FESS is discharged
thus the FESS is ensured to switch into another state quickly and reliably.
