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.

The energy is drawn from the flywheel and converted back into electricity to power the traction motor, which helps accelerate the bus back up to speed, generating fuel savings of more than 20% at a significantly lower cost and weight (60 kg, 132 lbs) than battery hybrid alternatives. Useable stored energy is 1.2MJ, with peak power of 120kW.

In the UK, there are more than 32,000 public charging points with 1,800 ultra-rapid chargers, distributed relatively evenly across the country except for a high concentration in London . Level 3 fast charging: 400-volt to 900-volt DC. Current charger installations tend to be clustered in higher income and population-dense areas.

This results in a range of system level requirements from different manufacturers, dictated by vehicle targets and other issues such as battery state-of-charge and energy storage capability. The number of architectures under consideration for 48V systems is still growing, particularly across different vehicle classes.
