FAQS about Communication base station flywheel energy storage protection distance
Do flywheels provide bus regulation and attitude control capability?
Flywheels have been experimentally shown to provide bus regulation and attitude control capability in a laboratory. A sizing code based on the G3 flywheel technology level was used to evaluate flywheel technology for ISS energy storage, ISS reboost, and Lunar Energy Storage with favorable results.
How does a flywheel work?
In this way, the flywheel can store and supply power where it is needed Flywheels can store energy kinetically in a high speed rotor and charge and discharge using an electrical motor/generator. Wheel speed is determined by simultaneously solving the bus regulation and torque equations.
How many flywheel modules should a solar system have?
A low voltage motor charges the flywheel from the solar array and a separate high voltage motor provides power to the lunar base. Since reliability is achieved at the component level within a flywheel module, a system with 100 flywheel modules would provide tremendous redundancy.
How much power does a G3 flywheel store?
GRC has completed a detailed design of the G3 flywheel module which stores 2100 W-hr at 100% DOD and has a power rating of 3300W at 75% DOD. A sizing code has been designed which can be used to estimate the mass of a G3 type design as a function of energy stored and power. The flywheel system will interface with the existing mounting hardware.
Do flywheels degrade when not in use?
Flywheels do not degrade when not in use. If program milestones slip, the deployed hardware will not suffer. Flywheels can provide complete electrical isolation between a power source and load. A low voltage motor charges the flywheel from the solar array and a separate high voltage motor provides power to the lunar base.
Can flywheels be used for Rover recharging?
Flywheels can charge and discharge quickly and can be used as outposts for rover or EVA suit recharging. Flywheels can accommodate very high peak loads, reducing constraints and planning requirements for operations. Flywheels have been experimentally shown to provide bus regulation and attitude control capability in a laboratory.
