Electromechanical flywheel cooling system

摘要

An electromechanical flywheel machine includes a flywheel mass and a motor-generator having a rotor rotatable about a stator wherein the stator is supported by a fluid cooled stator support. The electromechanical flywheel has the rotor encircling a stationery stator and stator windings including a field winding encircling an axis of stator rotation and an armature winding that does not encircle the axis of stator rotation.
