Using Flywheels
To Build a Cleaner Grid
Kinetix’s flywheel system expedites our shift to a carbon-free, sustainable energy future by delivering continuous power at 30%-50% lower costs than fossil fuels when paired with clean energy. It easily integrates into existing infrastructure, supports carbon-free transportation, and supplies reliable power to remote areas. The system’s key advantage is its low cost of storage.
Kinetix's unique flywheel system offers 75% lower storage costs compared to today’s energy storage products
Flywheel Energy Storage
IOMEGA 3000 provides 1,000 kW / 3,000 kWh of continuous, reliable power for 20 years with no degradation.
IOMEGA 3000
Today's low cost of storage solutions, such as pumped hydro, are restricted by location. To provide a more flexible option, Kinetix produces a complete energy storage system in a 20 ft shipping container. This system is designed from first principles to optimize product value.
A carbon fiber flywheel, chosen for its high strength-to-weight ratio, maximizes energy storage within the container. To charge the system, an electric motor spins the flywheel up to thousands of RPM, storing energy as angular kinetic energy. Similar to regenerative braking, the motor then decelerates the flywheel to discharge the stored energy.
To optimize AC/AC round-trip efficiency, Kinetix uses high-efficiency power electronics and motor components. The flywheel operates in a vacuum to minimize air drag losses. Following to common power and communication standards, the IOMEGA 3000 integrates easily with the electric grid.
