Kinetic Traction Systems, Inc. Information

Providing Clean Flywheel Power for Energy Storage and Power to Rail Traction Systems Kinetic Traction Systems, Inc. (KTSi) designs and manufactures next generation flywheel systems for voltage support and energy recycling that increase performance, lower capital costs and reduce energy usage. KTSi's trackside energy recycling traction power systems absorb braking energy, convert it to kinetic energy, store it in advanced high-speed flywheel units and regenerate clean, instant power to accelerating trains. It's systems also efficiently store energy to stabilize voltage levels in areas prone to low voltage sag. KTSi traction power systems can satisfy incremental peak power demands at a significant cost savings over traditional substations. The results: •Lowers electric power usage through highly efficient energy recycling •Improves train capacity and performance with instantly available power •Reduces resistor heating and lowers HVAC requirements •Reduces stress on train traction power equipment and braking systems •Provides effective, safe and reliable energy storage and delivery •Minimizes carbon emissions of train systems •Reduces capital expenditure through more efficient operation and faster deployment than substations •Provides low voltage sag correction •Lowers stress on train traction power equipment •Can provide backup power in the event of outages •Creates a reliable power quality solution with minimal maintenance
