KTSi trackside flywheel systems provide voltage support to overtaxed sections of electric rail systems, eliminating slowdowns, as well as capturing, storing and reusing the regenerative braking energy of rail cars. Kinetic Traction was formed earlier this year in the wake of the collapse of advanced flywheel energy storage company Pentadyne.

A new initiative in the UK is proposing opening up data from local electricity substations to provide network operators with much-needed information about levels of capacity for charging EVs on local electricity networks. This makes it difficult to know whether a cluster of EVs charging at peak times will push the demand over the limit.
