TWEFDA Information

TWEFDA Limited (https://twefda.com) is developing an energy system designed to help balance the grid by behaving either as a generator or as a storage device on demand. It does so with extreme efficiency and at Grid scale, providing what the Grid requires at any time. A Functionally Hybrid Energy Device (FHED) with hybrid generation and hybrid storage pathways. Our device can create a pumped hydro application in the middle of the ocean by jacking up a structure, which represents a mass at a certain height - this is gravitational/potential energy. It can also ramp up or down both power absorbed and delivered becoming a great ally to balance the Grid providing great flexibility. To put this flexibility into context, according to the Carbon Trust , flexibility is what we need to achieve the 2050 goals in a cost-effective way. As mentioned by Andrew Lever in this video report, investing in flexibility is a 'no regrets' decision worth £16.7B/year across all the scenarios analysed for 2050, just in the UK. The technology is sustainable, has very big energy efficiency, can potentially repurpose decommissioning assets or relies on its own, belongs to the low-carbon technologies and contributes to the circular economy both, by using renewable sources, and by helping the National Grid to stabilise without using heavy/rare metals to store electricity. Furthermore, the technology is required in the entire world, can be working 24/7, is extremely respectful of the environment, and has the potential to revolutionise the whole energy sector.
