Energy transfer and storage apparatus for delivery of pulsed power

摘要

A method and system supply pulsed power. The system includes an inertial energy storage device configured to store inertial energy and an electrochemical energy storage system configured to store electrochemical energy. The system includes a bidirectional energy transfer system. The energy transfer system is configured to receive energy from an energy source. The energy transfer system is configured to transfer at least a portion of the received source energy to the inertial energy storage device. The energy transfer system is configured to transfer at least a portion of the received energy in the inertial energy storage device to the electrochemical energy storage system while controlling a rate at which energy is transferred to the electrochemical energy storage system based on a prescribed charging rate associated with the electrochemical energy storage system. Additionally, the energy transfer system is configured to supply power to one or more loads using the stored energy.
