Problem
Industrial and commercial facilities, as well as EV charging infrastructure, require high‑power energy storage that can respond in sub‑second intervals, operate for decades without replacement, and avoid the safety, environmental, and cost issues of chemical batteries. Existing lithium‑ion solutions degrade quickly under heavy cycling, involve hazardous materials, and incur high lifecycle expenses.
Solution
KineticCore Solutions delivers non‑chemical flywheel energy storage systems that provide instantaneous power delivery, 97 % round‑trip efficiency, and a service life exceeding 25 years. The flywheels are constructed from carbon and steel, eliminating fire, explosion, and toxic‑gas risks while requiring no auxiliary heating or cooling. By offering a low‑weight, compact footprint and a lifecycle cost below $0.03 /kWh, the technology enables cost‑effective peak‑load shaving, fast‑charging for electric vehicles, and renewable‑energy integration for commercial, industrial, and utility customers. System performance is maintained across temperature ranges and high daily cycling rates, supporting up to 48 charge/discharge cycles per day.
Target Audience
Primary customers are commercial and industrial facilities seeking peak‑load management, EV fast‑charging network operators, microgrid developers, and utility service providers requiring reliable, high‑power, long‑life storage solutions.
