advertisement: A notional space radar application was selected for the FACETS mission profile. Space radar requires extremely large pulse power and, therefore, is an ideal application for flywheel energy storage. The model was demonstrated over an orbital profile derived from the notional space radar application. The model was verified by comparing its output with results of prior power-subsystem simulations performed in the FACETS program. Realistic phenomena represented by the results of the simulations included increase of flywheel speed during charge, steady flywheel speed during standby, decreasing flywheel speed during discharge, and voltage transients during transitions between charge and discharge. This work was done by Claus R. Danielson of Sequoia Technologies, Nicolas W. Frank of Texas Agricultural and Mechanical University, and Brian Wilson of Draper Laboratories for the Air Force Research Laboratory. This Brief includes a Technical Support Package (TSP).
