Abstract
A system and method for removing energy from the rotating group in an energy storage flywheel system during flywheel system testing includes one or more sensors is operable to sense operational parameters of the energy storage flywheel and to supply a sensor signals representative thereof. A primary control circuit is coupled to receive the sensor signals and, in response thereto, selectively supplies a primary brake activation signal to a brake. The brake, in response to the brake activation signal, selectively supplies a brake force to the energy storage flywheel.
