World Flywheel UPS Markets
Frost & Sullivan, May 2008
Network Reconfigurations and Upgrades Escalate Power Quality Concerns Adoption of efficient networks and digital equipment is driving the demand for power quality equipment including flywheel uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems. Flywheel UPS systems are considered an ideal backup power product for temporary power glitches, power conditioning as well as ride through application for gensets.
With many businesses increasingly going online, the aging utility grid guarantees only 99.9 percent reliability, which translates to an unscheduled nine hours of downtime every year. Since operations are significantly inconvenienced by unpredictable downtime, flywheel UPS manufacturers have to capitalize on this situation to secure maximum uptime for critical operations and functions by providing a highly reliable backup power solution.
A revival of IT spending across various markets has led to reconfiguration of existing infrastructure to accommodate increasing load as well as elevated power quality concerns in various sectors, explains the analyst of the research. As a result, flywheel UPS, with its longer life cycle and lower cost of maintenance, is likely to witness increased demand in the future.
Flywheel UPS systems, with their small footprint and technically renewable clean energy, have immense potential in the power industry. However, competition from the static lead acid battery UPS segment, limited end-user awareness of its benefits, and cost constraints limits market scope. To achieve widespread implementation of flywheel UPS systems, manufacturers need to reconsider their production operations and product designs and comply with end-user spending patterns.
This research service looks at the global market and sales of the flywheel energy storage system in the power quality market particularly for backup power applications.
