The technology behind ZOOZ’s charging boosters is based on kinetic energy storage using flywheels. This technology is particularly well-adapted to handling the frequent power surges at EV charging stations. Flywheels are not limited in their number of charge cycles, making them highly reliable with a lifespan that matches that of a charging station. Moreover, flywheels are the most environmentally friendly energy storage option.
The ZOOZTER™-100 features 8 flywheels, offering 100kW of additional power enabling ultra-fast charging by significantly increasing the available grid power.
A motor-generator converts electrical energy into rotational energy by accelerating the rotor to its maximum speed of approximately 17,000 rpm during charging.
To minimize friction losses while the flywheel is fully charged and waiting to discharge, the rotor operates in a vacuum and is supported by a magnetic levitation bearing.
During energy discharge, the system injects power into the grid when necessary while ensuring that the network does not exceed its maximum power limit.
This cycle allows the ZOOZTER™-100 flywheel booster to provide quick, high-power energy bursts, enhancing the efficiency of EV charging stations by supporting peak power demands without continuous grid reliance.
The ZOOZTER™-100 Energy Management System (EMS) is a sophisticated Software designed to optimize the use and distribution of energy within charging station micro-grid. This system intelligently manages the power flow between the electrical grid, the ZOOZTER, the electric vehicles being charged and other power consumers or energy storage on the site.
By continuously monitoring and analyzing the demand for electricity, energy availability, and charging station capacity, the EMS dynamically adjusts the distribution of power to maximize efficiency and minimize charging times and electricity cost.
It ensures that the energy supply is used effectively, reducing the risk of overloading the grid during peak demand periods. Through real-time data collection and predictive algorithms, the EMS not only improves the operational efficiency but also supports grid stability, ensuring a reliable and efficient charging process for EV users and cost saving for the charging operator.
Consequently, the ZOOZTER™-100 is fully charged and prepared for subsequent use.
