摘要：

The use of flywheels as energy storage was probably the second thought after the wheel was invented. With the recent developments in composite materials, magnetic materials and the use of micro processors; flywheel energy storage has wide applications in many facets of our lives. For space vehicles, two counte-rotating wheels are used to produce a flywheel energy storage system (FESS). The initial flight opportunities for this flywheel technology can be used for energy storage in conjunction with existing battery and power subsystem designs. There are also possibilities that this pair of counter rotating FESS's can replace one of the attitude control wheels in the attitude control system (ACS) wheel set. This paper describes the potential combined battery/flywheel energy storage system for aerospace application. Battery charging control schemes and solar array regulation can be augmented with a flywheel system to improve spacecraft performance, allow a alternate energy storage source for single battery systems, reduce the size of the solar array and be used as one of (3 or 4) attitude control wheels.
