Flywheels
Flywheel UPS systems are designed for high power, short discharge applications with the ability to charge and discharge at high rates and operate continuously in high cyclic applications without output degradation. Chloride flywheel UPS systems use Vycon flywheels and can give 18 seconds autonomy at 200 kVA.
Chloride’s integrated flywheel UPS system uses Vycon’s flywheel, a mechanical energy storage device which can be used as an alternative to traditional batteries in UPS systems, or when required, in parallel to traditional batteries.
In those situations where harsh environments or frequent short duration outages cause the battery systems to cycle frequently a flywheel UPS system offers superior protection with no loss of performance. A flywheel UPS system delivers an environmentally friendly energy storage solution of uncompromised quality, efficiency and value, which is robust, durable and cost effective.
A flywheel UPS system is a perfect choice for the needs of the constantly changing power quality market, where efficiency and high quality is essential. The fact that no hazardous materials are used and that there is no need to address battery disposal issues, makes a flywheel UPS system a truly environmentally friendly energy option.
