Unlike traditional flywheels designed for short, high-power bursts to regulate frequency, these units are engineered for a four-hour discharge duration. This transition from seconds to hours is a leap in energy density and mechanical efficiency.
Torus combines flywheels — ancient devices (think pottery kick wheel) that store energy mechanically by spinning at high speed — with traditional batteries. The result is a hybrid system that can absorb and release power instantly, smoothing the chaos of electrons on a stressed.
Each FESS module has a power electronics module which allows its AC motor-generator to interface with a DC bus that is common to several FESS modules. Power and energy can be chosen independently, a design decision fixed by the size of the electric motor-generator .
A flywheel energy storage module is a stand-alone unit, requiring just 480V AC power and communication connections to operate. Each module consists of a flywheel, power control module, flywheel foundation, cooling system, and the necessary mounting and support.
