<h2>What can a Pentadyne system do for me?</h2> <img class="right" height="202" alt="Your Business - Broadcast" width="250" src="/uploads/18/Image/your-business/broadcast4.jpg" /> Pentadyne clean energy storage has a lot of great attributes and advantages. We’ve found that other broadcasters using our system particularly value these qualities: <ol> <li>No HVAC needs - Pentadyne systems need no HVAC, perfect for transmission sites. UPS batteries need air conditioned space – and plenty of it – to offset their heat production. Operating batteries just 10°F above optimum cuts their life in half.</li> <li>Crowbar protection - Crowbar circuits protect broadcast equipment inductive output tubes from power anomalies by instantly throwing tens of thousands of volts to ground. It has to. One IOT can cost nearly as much as a Pentadyne flywheel. The massive crowbar inrush can kill lead-acid batteries in a flash, but the Pentadyne flywheel has no trouble responding to such needs fully and repeatedly for decades.</li> <li>Near-zero maintenance - Driving up a mountain every few weeks to do battery maintenance, testing and replacement is no one’s idea of a good use of time and money. The Pentadyne flywheel needs only one hour or less of maintenance every 2 years (usually done at the same time as annual UPS maintenance).</li> </ol> Other valuable attributes include: <img class="right" height="277" alt="Your Business - Broadcast" width="125" src="/uploads/18/Image/your-business/broadcast3.jpg" /> <ul> <li>Energy storage that's more effective and reliable</li> <li>Elimination of lead acid UPS batteries </li> <li>Vastly lower own & operate costs</li> <li>Half the footprint of VRLA batteries </li> <li>Virtually silent operation</li> <li>1/10th the energy consumption of other flywheels</li> <li>No floor loading issues or concrete pad needed</li> <li>Rolls into place and commissions in less than 60 minutes</li> <li>No explosive gas emissions, fire risks or hazardous materials</li> <li>No acid vapors, spillage or other safety issues</li> <li>Solid, non-"pro-rated" 5-year warranty, standard</li> <li>Environmentally responsible, sustainable</li> <li>Built in California: seismic zone 4 rated  </li> </ul> Data Center http://www.pentadyne.com/site/applications/data-center.html 2009-05-01T15:03:50Z

<h2>What can a Pentadyne system do for me?</h2> <img class="right" height="322" alt="" width="250" src="/uploads/18/Image/your-business/datacenter1.jpg" />Pentadyne clean energy storage has a lot of great attributes and advantages. We've found that the data centers and corporate IT facilities using our system particularly value these qualities: <ol> <li>Solid reliability - Lead acid batteries are the weakest link in any power continuity system. A Pentadyne flywheel can eliminate batteries and provide much greater reliability. They can also work in parallel with batteries as the first line of defense, taking all the brief hits and bridging the time gap to a smooth generator handoff. This eliminates cycling of the now redundant battery array.</li> <li>Cost savings - Pentadyne own-and-operate costs are much lower than those of batteries. Over time, each Pentadyne system deployed saves $150,000 over VRLA batteries, even more if replacing wet cells.</li> <li>Minimal footprint and weight - Compared to a 5-min. VRLA battery cabinet, a comparable capacity Pentadyne flywheel needs only half the floorspace (or 1/5 that of wet cells). Each unit weighs only 1,300 lbs, about 1/4 that of batteries. Without any floor-loading issues, you can roll it into position and install it directly on raised flooring, .</li> <li>Highest availability, lowest maintenance – Batteries are the worst, but steel flywheels incur hours of downtime and tens of thousands of dollars in maintenance costs every 2-3 years. Rotary systems are even worse. But the Pentadyne system's only moderate maintenance (capacitor replacement, just like that for your UPS) is just for one hour once every six years.</li> <li>Energy efficiency - Other flywheels consume 10 times the standby energy (and output 10 times the heat). That costs you thousands of dollars in higher utility bills every year for each cabinet deployed. Risky line-interactive "online" UPSs claim high efficiency under perfect utility conditions. But utility conditions are rarely perfect. So line-interactive UPSs must consume more energy trying to correct power quality issues. Pentadyne flywheels work with the best brands of efficient, double-conversion UPSs that completely isolate protected loads from utility anomalies.</li> </ol> <img height="229" alt="" width="441" src="/uploads/18/Image/your-business/datacenter2.jpg" />   Other valuable attributes include: <ul> <li>Half the footprint of VRLA batteries</li> <li>80% smaller footprint than wet cells</li> <li>Virtually silent operation</li> <li>No concrete pad needed; can install directly to unreinforced raised flooring </li> <li>Rolls into place and commissions in less than 60 minutes</li> <li>No explosive gas emissions, fire risks or hazardous materials</li> <li>No acid vapors, spillage or other safety issues</li> <li>Solid, non-"pro-rated" 5-year warranty, standard</li> <li>Built in California: seismic zone 4 rated</li> <li>Environmentally responsible, sustainable energy storage</li> </ul> Education http://www.pentadyne.com/site/applications/education.html 2009-05-01T14:57:00Z

Advantages of the <a target="_blank" href="/uploads/18/File/flyer-rail.pdf">Pentadyne's energy storage/renewable energy recycling system for electric rail</a>: <ul> <li>Absorbs braking energy - In station applications, the system captures and stores the regenerative braking energy of trains</li> <li>Delivers acceleration energy - Delivers stored braking energy to trains leaving the station, boosting performance and reducing peak energy use and strain on the infrastructure</li> <li>Cuts resistor bank heating - By capturing and storing the energy normally wasted to resistor banks, the Pentadyne system cuts energy use both by eliminating unnecessary resistor heat production and the station's HVAC demands to remove that excess heat</li> <li>Mitigates voltage dips - By pumping stored renewable energy into the 3rd rail or catenary system when voltage dips below a programmable level, the Pentadyne system prevents DC voltage dips, improving performance; this is true both for in-station and wayside between (or instead of) substations</li> <li>Reduces headway - By supporting proper voltage, you get ALL the performance that was built into your rolling stock</li> <li>Enables higher capacity - With improved voltage support, you can deploy more cars and trains</li> <li>Eliminates slowdowns - Deploying a Pentadyne rail system between substations eliminates the low voltage problems that cause slowdowns</li> <li>Cheaper than a substation - Configurable from 1 MW to 8 MWs or more, Pentadyne rail systems cost less than a similar sized substation, can be deployed more rapidly, and cost less to operate</li> </ul>
