Grid support and colocation with renewables
Power fluctuations and variable renewables
The increasing integration of renewable energy sources is fundamentally changing the dynamics of power grids worldwide. A key emerging challenge is the management of the frequency due to fluctuations and non-synchronous output from renewable generation assets.
As renewables grow in the generation mix, grid code regulations demand that they actively contribute to system stability, requiring advanced capabilities such as Fast Frequency Response (FFR), synthetic inertia and grid-forming capabilities, to guarantee both secure operation and system integrity.
Teraloop FESS supports renewable power generation, to cover more demanding grid codes requirements and to enhance complementary storage technologies such as BESS.
Our hubless flywheels harness kinetic energy from the grid at times of over-supply, to then release it in case of of supply shortfalls.
Both as standalone systems for participation in grid frequency containment reserve markets (FCR/FFR), or through co-location of flywheel assets with variable renewable energy generation, our solutions provide additional flexibility to the system.
Flywheels can also significantly accelerate the authorization procedure of variable renewable energy asset deployment.
Teraloop´s offerings enable powering grids with renewable energy instead of fossil fuels, reducing the carbon footprint of the infrastructure while keeping the quality and supply of electricity stable.
Advantages
Teraloop´s flywheels charge rapidly and can release large amounts of power quickly. Their energy storage level does not reduce with repeated use, and their run-time performance will always stay the same.
Energy being stored kinetically makes our solutions firesafe.
Teraloop's hubless flywheels are energy efficient and reliable, with a service life of more than 25 years.
The materials used to produce them are environmentally friendly and can be reused.
Finally, they take up very little space.
