Energy/Utility
What can a Pentadyne system do for me?
Pentadyne clean energy storage has a lot of great attributes and advantages.
We've found that utilities and other energy industry entities particularly value these qualities:
- Cost savings - Pentadyne own-and-operate costs are much lower than those of batteries. Over time, each Pentadyne system deployed saves $200,000 over VRLA batteries, even more if replacing wet cells.
- Solid reliability - Lead acid batteries are the weakest link in any power continuity system. A Pentadyne flywheel can replace batteries to provide much greater reliability, or, for redundant schemes, they can work in parallel with batteries. In the latter case, your Pentadyne system is always the first line of defense, bridging the time gap to a smooth generator handoff and utterly eliminating any battery cycling.
- Environmental responsibility/sustainability - Over its design life, each Pentadyne flywheel you deploy will mitigate the dumping of more than 15,000 pounds of battery lead and hundreds of gallons of sulfuric acid. Lead-acid battery emissions also contribute to global warming. Pentadyne systems have no emissions.
Other valuable qualities include:
- Half the footprint of VRLA batteries
- 80% smaller footprint than wet cells
- Highest availability, lowest maintenance
- Virtually silent operation
- 1/10th the energy consumption of other flywheels
- No concrete pad needed or floor loading issues
- Rolls into place and commissions in less than 60 minutes
- No explosive gas emissions or hazardous materials
- No acid vapors, spillage or other safety issues
- Solid, non-"pro-rated" 5-year warranty, standard
- Built in California: seismic zone 4 rated
