Tweet about this product: “We are looking forward to working with the MBTA to demonstrate our flywheel technology in extreme energy management for the largest single electric consumer in the Commonwealth. Implementation on the MBTA has the potential to manage high energy fluctuations, save energy being wasted and reduce greenhouse gases at an accelerated rate,” said Matthew Lazarewicz, Founder and President of Helix Power. @helix_power https://www.helixpower.com/

Helix Power is introducing an advanced energy storage technology using high power short duration flywheels as an “extreme energy management” tool with the present application to address metro trains.

The Helix flywheel system temporarily stores energy used to slow subway trains and makes it immediately transferable to accelerate them. The present application of the technology can collect and discharge 1MW of power in 90 Seconds,1,000,000+ Cycles with FULL DEPTH OF DISCHARGE, simultaneously cutting greenhouse gas emissions, overall energy consumption, and reducing peak demand on the power grid.
