1. A mechanical analysis of a flywheel as an energy storage system
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för materialvetenskapAbstract : This report is a theoretical analysis of high inertia flywheels. Four different flywheel shapes are studied and essential parameters for designing flywheels with optimal energy storage capabilities are discussed. This was done by compiling theoretical findings and presenting these in a way relevant for energy storage applications. READ MORE

5. Design and construction of a bidirectional DCDC converter for an EV application
University essay from ElektricitetsläraAbstract : A Sliding Mode Control System for a Bidirectional DCDC Converter was designed and a low voltage prototype was constructed. The control system based its decisions solely on the latest available measurements, which improves performance when changing operative quadrant, since no memory needs reinitializing (such as for PI and state prediction methods).
