Power Tree Corp has filed a utility patent for its grid scale flywheel based electrical energy storage technology.

Law firm Hamilton, Brook, Smith & Reynolds prepared and filed the patent for the single device that is expected to deliver 1MW continuously for several hours, or other combinations of discharge depending on the needs of the individual customer.

Greg Stuart, CEO of Power Tree, said, ‘Our core design and construction methods, as submitted in our patent materials, display a radical departure from prior art in the flywheel arena. This unique and elegant design allows for us to scale our rotor in both mass and velocity, enabling vast storage capacity and long discharge with minimal conversion losses. This gives us a great advantage compared to other flywheel competitors who are limited in power output for each device.’

Stuart went on to say that enormous opportunity exists in the market for grid connectedstorage technologies as they help overcome some of the challenges faced by the renewable sector.

Power Tree Corp is a private company that is focused on the research and development of grid scale electrical energy storage.
