1. Flywheel: Kinetic Energy Storage
Highly efficient kinetic energy storage provides consistent and dependable energy for critical power systems
The VDC flywheel energy storage systems hold kinetic energy in the form of a rotating mass, and convert this energy to electric power through patented technology within the flywheel system. Our unique technology includes a high-speed motor generator, active magnetic bearings that are used to levitate and sustain the rotor during operation, and a superior control system that can provide information on system performance. These innovative technologies enable the VYCON flywheel to charge and discharge at high rates for countless cycles making conventional technologies like batteries obsolete.
This technology is ideal for a variety of applications as a battery-free UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) solution, including data centers, healthcare facilities, broadcast stations and other mission-critical operations that require up to 30 to 40 seconds of backup power.
VDC systems can also provide reliable and predictable backup as well as regenerative energy absorption for variable frequency drives (VFDs) connected to large motors.
