Energy storage to empower the world
Flywheel Energy Storage Systems (FESS) offer a mature solution for enhancing stability, frequency control and voltage regulation in electrical systems, leveraging kinetic energy stored in a rotating mass. Teraloop flywheels, based on frictionless and hubless technology, provide high frequency switching and ultra fast response for critical time determinant applications.
Combined with application-tailored power electronics, Teraloop’s system can deliver 100% of nominal power in less than 10 milliseconds and maintain output during dozens of minutes, overcoming physical limits of existing alternatives.
Application
Grid & power production
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.
Teraloop offers unique and reliable capability for the most demanding grid ancillary services. The ideal solution for delivering critical ancillary services such as fast frequency response, synthetic inertia, black start and voltage support.
Battery-flywheel hybrid systems (BESS/FESS) can offer stacked benefits which exploit the advantage of each technology in a cost-effective, sustainable solution
Flywheels support hydropower by absorbing stress from rapid output changes, improving frequency response, extending equipment life, and enhancing grid stability with millisecond-level regulation.
Application
Industry & service providers
Flywheels stabilize voltage, recover braking energy, and provide seamless UPS support—boosting industrial efficiency, protecting equipment, and reducing costs through rapid, sustainable power management.
Flywheels support EV fast-charging by buffering grid demand and enable railway energy recovery by storing and reusing braking energy, cutting costs and boosting efficiency.

Protect your processes and enable new revenues
The continuous research of innovative materials enables improved efficiency, lower costs, and reduced environmental impact.
The hubless rotor design can store over 5 times more energy per unit mass than a solid rotor, and the advanced electromagnetic stabilization system provides zero friction, making our solutions firesafe.
Technology
Teraloop's patented flywheel technology is scalable, efficient and sustainable.
Our energy storage system operates in synergy with renewable generation assets, balancing the natural variation of supply and demand. It can also be used to support battery storage, since flywheels endure frequent charging and discharging better than batteries. This makes flywheels ideal for critical industrial applications difficult to address for other technologies.

Path to energy storage with net positive impact
Flywheels can decrease the negative environmental impacts of batteries, such as critical raw material depletion. This can be done e.g. by co-location of flywheels and batteries, which extends battery lifetime.
