Abstract: A photovoltaic (PV) panel includes a PV output, a storage and retrieval subsystem (storage subsystem), and PV cells. The PV output is configured to be coupled to a distribution system to supply electricity produced by the PV panel to the distribution system. The storage subsystem includes a dedicated storage device. The storage subsystem is electrically coupled to the PV output and provides per-panel energy storage. The PV cells are coupled to the PV output and to the storage device. The PV cells are configured to photovoltaically generate an electrical potential when exposed to incident illumination. While incident illumination is available, the PV cells supply a portion of the electrical potential to the PV output and a second portion to the dedicated energy storage device. The storage subsystem is configured to intermediately supply energy stored thereon to the PV output while the incident illumination is unavailable or partially unavailable.

Abstract: A system for performing magnetic levitation of an energy storage flywheel, including an upper levitator pole which includes a permanent magnet and an electromagnet, a lower levitator pole fixed to the energy storage flywheel and being formed of a material capable of being attracted to or repelled from the upper levitator pole when a magnetic flux is applied to the magnetic flux path of the permanent magnet of the upper levitator pole, an electromagnetic driver which applies an electric current through the electromagnet of the upper levitator pole, and a controller which controls the electromagnetic driver so as to control the electric current applied through the electromagnet, causing the lower levitator pole to be controllably attracted to or repelled from the upper levitator pole.

Abstract: An example rotating electrical machine includes a stator assembly, a rotor, and a controller. The stator assembly has two or more stator control coils and is centered on a Z axis that is perpendicular to an XY plane defined by mutually perpendicular X and Y axes. The rotor is configured to rotate about a rotational axis that is nominally collinear with the Z axis and has a magnet array that provides a magnetic field configured to pass through the stator control coils. The controller is configured to control the stator control coils to selectively generate magnetic fields that interact with the magnetic field of the magnet array to: control rotation of the rotor about the second axis; and one or both of: control translation of the rotor in the XY plane; and control rotation of the rotor about the X axis and the Y axis.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an electromechanical battery comprising a single pole-pair Halbach array of permanent magnets incorporated into an annular flywheel, which together comprise a rotor assembly, a means for levitating the rotor assembly using a “double-lift” attractive magnetic levitator under active control, and a means for actively stabilizing the spinning rotor assembly by interaction with the fringe fields of the Halbach array.
