PILLER POWERBRIDGE™ – flywheel kinetic energy storage system
Flywheel UPS, UPS
Fields of application
PILLER POWERBRIDGE™ is a vertical-axis flywheel kinetic energy storage device with an integrated generator, used in Piller UPS systems instead of chemical batteries. It is designed for data centers, industrial plants and other critical infrastructure where reliable power reserve is required until backup generators are activated.
Features:
Energy capacity from 3.6 to 60+ MJ per device
PB60+ model – more than 3 MW power, 1 MW for more than 60 s
Vertical flywheel with generator and magnetic support
Operation without chemical batteries
Bidirectional energy flow – stabilizes the operation of the diesel generator
Connects individually or in parallel with Piller UPS
Up to 90 % less space than battery systems
Service life of more than 20 years
