Pentadyne Flywheels Save SoCal Software Company $2 Million

CHATSWORTH, Calif. – Jan. 19, 2010 – Pentadyne Power Corporation (www.pentadyne.com), the world’s leading manufacturer of flywheel energy storage systems, will save a data center facility of a software engineering company two million dollars in energy savings. The order for more than 3 megawatts of flywheel energy storage systems will be deployed at the company’s Irvine, California, location.

Pentadyne flywheels were chosen over lead-acid batteries due to the vast energy savings as well as their high-reliability, near-zero maintenance, and environmentally responsible manufacture.

The 16-unit order comes from Emerson Network Power, which markets the Pentadyne system as the Liebert FS. The 16 Liebert FS flywheels will be mated with four 750-kVA Liebert NXL uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems.

Configured as a 1+N approach, the 3,000 kVA Liebert power certainty package fits within a 2,000 square-foot space, with room for further expansion.
 
Pentadyne President & CEO Mark McGough added, “Especially in this recession, businesses cannot risk their futures on all-too-common UPS battery failures. Reliability is why they buy UPS systems in the first place, and Pentadyne flywheels have proven in the field that they deliver an order of magnitude greater reliability than that of the best-in-brand UPS lead-acid batteries. And they do so at a much lower own-and-operate cost. The $2M energy savings is icing on the cake for our customers, since we also have the most energy-efficient flywheel on the market.”
