Flywheel UPS Solutions from GE

Flywheel UPS Systems from GE 50-1000kVA

The flywheel, using Vycon technology, stores kinetic energy in the form of a rotating mass and is designed for hi power, short time discharge applications. The technology includes a high speed motor generator and active magnetic bearings that are used to levitate and sustain the rotor during operation. The flywheel assembly includes a superior control system that provides information on system performance. This innovative technology allows the flywheel to charge and discharge at high rates for countless cycles, providing much superior operation over conventional battery use.

This GE solution is fully integrated in many system test between the UPS units and flywheel, its a full integration.

Multiple solutions

The flywheel can be used on both the TLE series (160-800 kW per module) which is the ultra high efficiency platform from GE with OnLine Efficiency up to 97% but also on the SG series (10-600 kVA), the platform with an integrated output transformer which gives multiple benefits on reliability of the unit and availability of electricity to the load.

You can Parallel up to 6 Flywheels on a UPS Module
