A system for regulating the voltage in an electrical distribution system
includes a plurality of flywheels, motor/generators, and controllers.
Each of the motor/generators is coupled to one of the energy storage
flywheels and to the electrical supply system. The motor/generators each
supply one or more signals representative of motor/generator operational
parameters, and each motor/generator controllers receive one or more of
the motor/generator operational parameter signals from each of the
motor/generators. In response to the operational parameter signals, the
motor/generator controllers each control the operation of one of the
motor/generators in either a motor mode or a generate mode, to thereby
regulate the electrical supply system voltage and equally share the
electrical load between the motor/generators.
