M3PS Concept
• • •
Modular system of high performance rotating electric machines combining inertial energy storage with continuous and pulsed power capabilities
–
Builds on successful EMALS concept Provide stand-alone solutions or can be integrated into hybrid systems as part of an Energy Magazine
–
Scalable systems to meet range of applications Fully integrated topology to maximize energy and power density
Flywheel Topologies
Non-Integrated Topology • Larger than other topologies, but may have most simple assembly • Maximum use of conventional M/G systems and technology • Flexible / adaptive design • Power generation outside of vacuum • Requires shaft seal and coupling Partially-Integrated Topology • Smaller and more efficient than non integrated • Good use of available M/G technology, but integration required • Good design adaptability • Favors use of PM generator • Heat generation on rotor requires careful engineering Fully-Integrated Topology • Most compact system • Special purpose flywheel system • Favors use of PM generator • Heat generation on rotor requires special engineering • Rotating magnets at large radius • Uses arbor or magnetic bearings to match rotor growth
Combat Hybrid Power Supply
Combat Hybrid Propulsion System (CHPS)
• Dual use flywheel energy storage – “Inside-out” arbor-less technology – Continuous duty and pulse loads for
offensive and defensive systems

Compensated Pulsed Alternators
Compensated Pulsed Alternators
• • •
Conceived at University of Texas in late ’70s
–
Original application was laser power supply for Lawrence Livermore inertial confinement fusion program Wound field synchronous generator with compensating windings or eddy current shields
–
Low impedance Megamp Output
–
High airgap flux densities Current Pulses
–
Gigawatts for milliseconds Capable of directly driving large pulsed loads
–
Demonstrated synchronized discharge of parallel machines
Armature Compensation
• •
Use image currents in compensating winding or conductive eddy current shield to contain magnetic fields from armature output currents
–
Minimizes internal impedance Multiple topologies and compensation techniques
–
Iron core, air core, rotating field, rotating armature, single- or multiphase
–
Active, passive, selective passive
–
External excitation or self excitation
Compensation Techniques
• • •
Active compensation features a compensating winding in series with the armature winding
–
Sharp pulse with fast rise time Passive compensation uses a conductive eddy current shield
–
Essentially sinusoidal output pulse Selective passive compensation uses a shorted compensating winding rotated azimuthally relative to the main armature winding
–
Can be tailored for a variety of output pulse shapes
PA Development History
Latest PA Designs
• •
Latest PA designs are air core machines without compensation
–
Highest power density Self-excited system
–
“Seed” current injected into rotating field winding
–
Resultant armature output is rectified and fed back onto the field winding
–
Armature output is switched into load when peak field current is achieved
2004 Internal Design Study
Additional PA Benefits
• • •
System can be designed to minimize transient loading on ship power system
–
Take advantage of operation over wide speed range to buffer supply System stores energy for multiple high energy pulses Stored energy available to support other transient loads or to provide active filtering
