Vycon Partners With Chloride Group Plc For European Distribution Of Its Vdc140 Flywheel Energy Storage System
Los Angeles – November 6, 2007– VYCON, , an innovator in the design and manufacture of green-tech, energy storage flywheel systems, today announced an agreement with Chloride Group PLC for the distribution and marketing of VYCON’s VDC flywheel for use on Chloride UPS systems.
The VYCON VDC is a flywheel-based energy storage system that provides a stable, reliable, low-maintenance, extended-life DC voltage source for Uninterruptable Power Systems (UPS) used in critical power applications. The VDC, which can be seamlessly paralleled for higher power requirements, can completely eliminate the need for maintenance-laden batteries in traditional UPS applications. The VDC system additionally provides sufficient ride-through for short duration power outages, or until a standby engine-generator is implemented on line.
“We are extremely pleased that Chloride, after evaluating several other devices in the market, has selected the VYCON flywheel system as an alternative energy storage technology to traditional lead-acid batteries”, commented Frank DeLattre, Vice-President of Sales and Marketing, Vycon. “Chloride is a leader in highly reliable and innovative back-up power systems and the VYCON VDC product will enhance this position.”
The agreement gives Chloride the right to market, promote and distribute the VYCON VDC to companies across Europe. Currently, the system is being used by Sungard in the UK. In the US, the system is used in data centers, hospitals and financial institutions to safeguard data center energy back-up requirements.
“We feel that VYCON’s system is the most effective in terms of reliability and life-cycle cost. This technology will allow us to fulfill the always more frequent requirements of battery free solutions by our customers. The VDC system will be a very important addition to our product offering for European countries,” said Giovanni Zanei, Product Manager, Chloride UPS Systems.
