What is a Flywheel-Based UPS?
A flywheel-based UPS stores energy mechanically in a quiet, spinning, composite cylinder. The Pentadyne’s VSS+DC clean energy storage flywheel used at the Sun Microsystems project requires very infrequent maintenance, is temperature-tolerant (no air conditioning needs) and can respond to hundreds of thousands of power interruptions without degradation (batteries become unreliable after a few deep discharges). Since 98% of power disturbances last less than 10 seconds, the flywheel is a perfect solution to instantaneously assume the electrical load for 10-15 seconds or more.
