UQM PowerPhase® systems have been integrated into high efficiency flywheel energy storage systems intended to solve the market demand for peak shaving, load balancing and off-grid energy storage applications. The technology is ideal for grid tied applications as well as balancing the intermittency of renewable energy sources.

Powered by UQM, the mechanical storage system transforms electrical energy into kinetic energy by rotating mass at a very high speed and storing the energy until needed.The technology is low maintenance and allows for scalability with multiple installations. The flywheel responds quickly to produce energy. The total ownership cost for flywheel technology is low, with overall efficiency of more than 85% and a 20+ years life span the technology is enticing when compared to lithium battery energy storage.
