Backup Power - Inherently Reliable

Predictable. Expected. Certain. While some would find these words boring, at Active Power they thrill us because “probably” uninterruptible isn’t good enough for our customers.

Active Power patented its unique flywheel technology in 1996 and subsequently brought to market its revolutionary flywheel-based critical power products. In comparison to conventional UPS systems utilizing a chemical energy storage product, the Active Power solution is a precision-engineered mechanical system that delivers predictable, consistent back up power performance. Using aircraft quality steel to harness kinetic energy, pure peace of mind is inherent to the design.

As of 4Q 2008, Active Power had shipped more than 2,000 flywheels around the world with more than 50 million hours of run time. But that’s just the start of great things, because our flywheels have a 20-year useful life with NO degradation in performance when properly maintained.
