Kinetic Traction Systems (KTSi) GTR flywheels use a fully integrated, permanent magnet, DC motor/generator capturing, storing and regenerating energy. By capturing energy, the GTR flywheel can reduce power consumption and lower costs. When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel's rotational speed is reduced as a consequence of the principle of conservation of energy; adding energy to the. . Flywheel Energy Storage - One of the key challenges in implementing renewable energy systems on a large scale is efficient integration of power from renewable sources into the grid on a scale that matches their production capacity and schedule. Unlike its chemical cousins such as lithium-ion batteries, which wear out with each charge and discharge cycle, our robust flywheel stands the test of.
