Simulation plays an important role in the design and performance evaluation studies of most new system. Analog and digital techniques may be used in a simulation, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. For thyristor drive systems, an analog simulation is generally considered more efficient. This paper presents the techniques used in an analog simulation of a flywheel energy storage drive system, in which the electrical components, such as the thyristors of the converter, the controller, and the electrical machines are simulated in detail. Such a simulation is extremely useful for purposes of gathering design information on the voltage stresses on the various components, especially the semiconductor devices, in evaluating the dynamic performances of the system under different types of control, and in investigating the effects of changes in system parameters.
