CHATSWORTH, Calif. -- Pentadyne Power Corporation, a world leader in flywheel energy storage systems, announced that it has achieved a record backlog of new orders, with recent bookings pushing totals to nearly $10 million.

“An important element of Pentadyne’s recent success has been our ability to diversify into new markets, such as the growing mass transit application, where we recently announced a major win in New York City,” said Pentadyne President and CEO Mark McGough. “In addition to this new market penetration in the energy recycling market, extending our leadership in flywheel technology for such applications, we see continued success with multiple repeat orders via our existing UPS sales channels.”

“The superior performance and reliability of our VSS+DC clean energy storage flywheel systems over other competing flywheel designs and other energy storage technologies was the overriding factor in Pentadyne being awarded yet another order for what we believe is the world’s largest flywheel energy storage deployment program,” added Dick Newark, Pentadyne’s Chief Operating Officer.

Pentadyne flywheels store energy kinetically instead of chemically, delivering stable, reliable DC voltage for energy recycling and power continuity applications. Pentadyne’s unique reliability-centered design provides an order of magnitude greater reliability than batteries, needs near-zero maintenance and offers a footprint and lifecycle cost less than half that of hazardous lead-acid batteries commonly used in such applications.
