Skeleton launches ultracapacitor grid system
SkelGrid Omni links to uninterruptible power supplies in manufacturing plants, data centers, hospitals, and other critical infrastructure. It consists of 0,5; 1 and 2 MW building blocks with proprietary softeware that allows sites to purchase additional MW seconds instead of overpaying for MW hours.
“Our first focus is the manufacturing industry. Electronics, plastic and metal processing, chemical, glass and other industries lose millions of euros every day due to poor power quality. Grid codes do not regulate short-term voltage sags, but modern manufacturing equipment require high power quality. As a result, manufacturing businesses companies suffering from scrapped products, downtime, and damage to the manufacturing equipment find themselves between a rock and a hard place. The SkelGrid Omni turn-key system is solving the dilemma with the highest safety standards in the industry and provides extremely fast reaction time and reliability with 15 years of life,” said Taavi Madiberk, CEO of Skeleton Technologies.
SkelGrid Omni takes advantage of Skeleton’s curved graphene ultracapacitor technology which provides power in a matter of milliseconds with one million deep charge/discharge cycles and over 15 years of life. THe company has already developed rack-based ultracapacitor power systems and automotive units. The company now employs over 100 peole in Estonia and Germany.
