Flywheel System Hire
Generator sets are typically sized for peak load. However, most of the time they run at low load factors which results in poor fuel economy & high emissions. By connecting Flywheel energy storage technology to the generator set, the flywheel will load level the peak loads that the generator set has to deal with.
The system delivers energy immediately at high power during an increasing load step and captures excess energy during a decreasing load step. This results in smooth, consistent and controlled generator loading which facilitates downsizing, diesel to gas substitution, diesel to grid connection substitution and engine operating efficiency improvements.
- Electrically connected Flywheel energy storage system allowing 200kVA generator downsizing based on 2hz frequency variation.
