European International Airport Orders Socomec Flywheel for UPS Energy Storage



    Pentadyne Power Corporation (www.pentadyne.com), the world's
    leading commercial manufacturer of clean energy storage systems using
    advanced composite flywheel technology, announced today that their
    European OEM distributor - UPS manufacturer Socomec (www.socomec.com)
    - had received an order for a Socomec VSS+DC flywheel system to be
    deployed at a major international European airport.

    Pentadyne is the original equipment manufacturer of the Socomec
    VSS+DC clean energy storage system. Socomec markets the VSS+DC
    internationally for use with their DELPHYS three-phase uninterruptible
    power supply systems rated from 60 to 800 kVA.

    "Just a few weeks ago, we announced the commissioning of another
    Pentadyne-made flywheel at the San Jose International Airport," said
    Pentadyne President & CEO Mark McGough. "So we are pleased to learn
    that the officials at this much larger airport also recognize the
    great reliability and cost-cutting enhancements of our clean energy
    storage systems."

    Pentadyne-made flywheel energy storage systems are used as a
    supplement to increase the reliability of conventional UPS lead-acid
    battery banks, or to entirely eliminate them and their associated
    recurring costs, frequent maintenance issues, poor reliability and
    environmental impact. Last October, Socomec's combined DELPHYS UPS and
    flywheel power certainty solution was named the UPS Product Innovation
    of the Year by Frost & Sullivan, one of the world's leading business
    and industry analysis firms.

    Exhibiting, presenting at a Barcelona trade show tomorrow

    Socomec will be exhibiting its UPS and flywheel systems at the 9th
    International Electrical Power Quality & Utilisation Conference
    (www.epqu2007.com) being held tomorrow through October 11 in
    Barcelona. A representative of Socomec will present tomorrow at the
    conference on "Advances in energy-efficient, power quality and energy
    storage, and implications for utility grid frequency stabilization."
