April 20, 2007—Pentadyne Power Corporation, a leading commercial manufacturer of clean energy storage systems using advanced composite flywheel technology, announced that it has entered into a memorandum of understanding agreement (MOU) with Toshiba International Corporation for Toshiba to sell Pentadyne’s flywheel in medical and broadcasting UPS applications.
The Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system division of Toshiba International Corporation, headquartered in Houston, Texas — is offering the Pentadyne VSS+DC energy storage system with Toshiba’s G8000 series of UPSs as a battery-free reliable power solution primarily for in-patient treatment/diagnostic equipment and for television broadcast facilities in North, Central and South America.
Pentadyne’s flywheel energy storage system can be used as a supplement to increase the reliability of conventional UPS lead-acid battery arrays, or can be used to eliminate the cost, maintenance and less predictable reliability burdens common to lead-acid batteries, notes the company.
Pentadyne Power Corporation manufactures and markets clean energy storage systems using a high-strength advanced carbon-fiber flywheel to ensure power quality and continuity for mission-critical operations at industrial, commercial, healthcare and military facilities in North America and abroad.
