Technology Center Orders 24 Pentadyne Flywheels

CHATSWORTH, Calif.--(Business Wire)--Pentadyne Power Corporation (www.pentadyne.com), the world'sleading manufacturer of clean energy storage systems using advancedcomposite flywheel technology, announced today that it has received anorder for 24 Pentadyne-made flywheels to be deployed at a majortechnology research and development center in Omaha, Nebraska. The two dozen Liebert FS systems from Emerson Network Power, whichcan provide more than 4.5 megawatts of backup power, will beparalleled with six, 750-kVA Liebert 610 UPS systems. Emerson NetworkPower is one of the world's leading manufacturers of 3-phaseuninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems. It markets the Pentadyneflywheel as the Liebert FS. "With 24 Liebert FS units, this will be the one site that has themost Pentadyne-made flywheels operating together," said PentadynePresident & CEO Mark McGough. Flywheel energy storage systems are used as a supplement toincrease the reliability of conventional UPS lead-acid battery banks,or to entirely eliminate them and their associated recurring costs,frequent maintenance issues, poor reliability and environmentalimpact. "This was yet another win where the superior product offerings ofPentadyne and Liebert beat out those of our primary competitor in theflywheel-UPS marketplace," said Johnny Gonzales, Pentadyne's VicePresident of Sales & Service. "The customer recognized the value ofour product's vastly lower maintenance needs as well as the energysavings of our flywheel system on a double-conversion UPS versus theflywheel system of our primary competitor. In this case, that energyefficiency difference amounts to nearly 400 megawatt-hours per year.That equates to tens of thousands of dollars in utility bill savingsand the mitigation of more than half a million pounds of carbondioxide every year, year after year."
