  Smart Energy 25 kWh

The Smart Energy 25 is Beacon’s design for an advanced energy storage solution that could provide unique power quality benefits for demanding utility applications. The system would be a larger-scale version of Beacon’s field-proven and environmentally friendly Patented Co-mingled Rim Technology® (PCRT). Its long-life, low-maintenance design and highly cyclic capability could outlast and outperform battery systems in the harshest environments.

And thanks to innovative modular design, a series of Smart Energy units could be configured in a Smart Energy Matrix™ to provide megawatts of reliable and responsive stored energy for minutes or even hours.

Typical single-unit applications:

  • Remote back-up power
  • Battery-free central office power
  • Peak shaving
  • Bridge to generator start
  • Load following

Every Smart Energy flywheel from Beacon is designed to offer many technical and performance advantages, including:

  • 20-year Design Life
    Designed for 20 years of virtually maintenance-free operation.
  • Real-time Monitoring
    Many parameters of flywheel and system performance can be monitored remotely.
  • Sustainable Technology
    Flywheels eliminate the hazards of batteries, are emissions-free, and do not require fuel, simplifying permitting and avoiding potential ground contamination and safety issues.
  • Temperature Tolerance
    Unlike batteries that degrade in performance at temperature extremes, flywheels exhibit no change in output or life span based on climate. In fact, a flywheel is often the only viable solution for harsh remote applications.
