Flywheel energy storage

Does your company struggle with grid congestion, rising energy costs or the fear of power cuts? Electroproject, part of EQUANS, offers the sustainable and reliable solution for your business with flywheel energy storage. Electroproject offers advanced flywheel systems for optimal grid stability and cost savings.

What is flywheel energy storage?

Imagine a modern spinning top spinning at lightning speed. This is essentially how a flywheel stores energy: in the form of kinetic energy from a rotating mass. This simple yet powerful technology offers countless benefits for your business:

Advantages:

• Unrivalled reliability: Flywheels have an extremely long service life and are impervious to the degradation that batteries experience over time. This means years of worry-free energy storage.
• Rapid response: Within milliseconds, a flywheel can deliver or absorb energy. This makes it ideal for situations where an immediate response is crucial, such as in case of power failure or grid instability.
• Sustainable choice: Flywheels emit no harmful emissions and contribute to a cleaner, greener energy future. A responsible choice for your business and the environment.
• Minimal maintenance, maximum savings: Flywheel systems require minimal maintenance, which translates into lower operating costs and a higher return on investment.
• Flexible and scalable: Whether you have a small or large business, flywheel systems are modular and can be easily expanded as your energy needs change.

Applications of flywheel technology

Electroproject offers flywheel solutions perfectly suited to your specific needs:

• Emergency power supply and UPS systems: Protect your business-critical processes from costly downtime by ensuring an uninterrupted power supply, even during power outages.
• Grid stabilisation: Support the electricity grid by absorbing rapid fluctuations in supply and demand, contributing to a more stable grid and avoiding potential penalties.
• Peak power smoothing: Lower your energy bills by smoothing out peaks in your energy consumption and taking advantage of more favourable tariffs.
• Energy storage for renewable sources: Integrate solar panels and wind turbines seamlessly into your energy supply, ensuring you always have clean energy, even when the sun is not shining or the wind is not blowing.

Why is flywheel energy storage the right choice for your business?

Flywheel energy storage is not only an innovative technology, but also a smart investment that strengthens your business on several fronts:

Financial benefits:

• Energy costs down: Take advantage of favourable energy tariffs by storing energy during off-peak hours and using it during peak hours. This reduces your dependence on the grid and saves on your energy bill.
  Reduce network costs: Avoid high costs associated with grid overload. Flywheels can absorb peaks in your energy consumption, avoiding grid costs and contributing to a more stable grid.
  Take advantage of subsidies: The government encourages the use of sustainable energy storage, including flywheels. Ask Electroproject about available subsidies and financing options to make your investment even more attractive.

Operational advantages:

• Maximum operational reliability: Guarantee an uninterrupted power supply for your mission-critical processes, even in the event of power failure or grid instability. Flywheels provide reliable backup and prevent costly downtime.
• Taking energy efficiency to the next level: Optimise your energy consumption by using flywheels to balance your energy supply and demand. This leads to a more efficient use of energy and a reduction in your CO2 emissions.
• Active role in energy transition: Contribute to a more sustainable future by investing in clean energy storage. Flywheels help you reduce your dependence on fossil fuels and reduce your carbon footprint.
