Study of a High-temperature Superconducting Magnetic Bearing for Flywheel Energy Storage Systems

Last updated on 04 January 2013 5:41

The RTRI conducted a development of a superconducting magnetic bearing applicable to the flywheel energy storage system for railways. In this study, a high-temperature bulk superconductor (HTS bulk) was combined with superconducting coils to increase the load capacity of the bearing. The flywheel energy storage system has a high energy...
