Flywheel Uninterruptible Power Supply

What is a flywheel uninterruptible power system?

A flywheel uninterruptible power system (UPS) is used to supply continuously clean, regulated electrical power to a critical load. They are used to supply a short-term power source when there is a disruption in the mains supply (or when the mains supply is lost) and until a back-up power source, such as a generator, is up and running.

What is active power flywheel UPS?

Active Power Flywheel UPS are battery-free uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems that use the kinetic energy of a flywheel to provide backup power. Active Power flywheel technology products are designed and manufactured in Austin TX.

Why should you use a flywheel power system?

The use of a flywheel power system can improve the overall life and reliability of an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), harness kinetic energy in high load or cyclic braking operations, replace or augment batteries, regulate power frequency, and ultimately provide a sustainable means for energy conservation.

What is a flywheel UPS system?

Flywheels can store enough power, without a battery, to run equipment until a generator takes the load. The system costs less, is easy to maintain, and is environmentally friendly. Active Power flywheel UPS systems boast easy maintenance.
