ZOOZ Power Boosts Grid Power with ZOOZTER-100 in New York Utility Deployment.

ZOOZ Power, a leading provider of flywheel-based power boosters, has successfully operated its ZOOZTER-100 kinetic power booster at a New York Power Authority work site in Marcy, NY. The system boosts grid power and efficiency, enabling faster and more accessible EV charging for NYPA fleet and other electric vehicles. This deployment marks a significant step toward accelerating ultra-fast EV charging adoption in locations with grid constraints.

Introduction:
ZOOZ Power, a pioneering provider of flywheel-based power boosters, recently showcased the successful operation of its ZOOZTER-100 kinetic power booster at a New York Power Authority (NYPA) work site in Marcy, NY [1]. This groundbreaking deployment marks a significant step towards accelerating the adoption of ultra-fast EV charging in locations with grid constraints.

The Power of Flywheels:
ZOOZ Power's flywheel technology offers several advantages over traditional battery systems. With practically unlimited charge/discharge cycles, these boosters provide 40 times more cycles than similar battery systems [1]. Moreover, they can store and discharge energy much quicker, delivering an ultra-fast charging experience [1].

Sustainability and Cost-Effectiveness:
One of the most significant advantages of ZOOZ Power's flywheel technology is its sustainability. These boosters use no toxic or rare earth materials and have a minimal carbon footprint [1]. Furthermore, they provide an energy boost when needed to reduce demand charges without requiring expensive grid upgrades [1].

How It Works:
The ZOOZTER-100 is connected to the grid using a standard 3-phase connection. The energy is then used to accelerate several flywheel modules, which store the kinetic energy [1]. When an EV is plugged into the charger, the flywheel decelerates, converting the kinetic energy back into electrical energy, which is then discharged to the connected ultra-fast charging system through the local grid [1].

Comparing Flywheels to Batteries:
While both flywheels and batteries store energy, they differ significantly in their mechanisms of storing energy, charge/discharge cycles, and environmental impact [1]. Flywheels use kinetic energy, while batteries rely on chemical reactions. Flywheels have practically unlimited charge/discharge cycles, whereas batteries have a limited number before they need to be replaced [1]. Moreover, the manufacturing and disposal of flywheels are more environmentally friendly than batteries [1].

Conclusion:
ZOOZ Power's successful deployment of the ZOOZTER-100 kinetic power booster at the NYPA work site in Marcy, NY, is a significant step towards accelerating the adoption of ultra-fast EV charging in locations with grid constraints. The company's flywheel technology offers several advantages over traditional battery systems, including sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and the ability to store and discharge energy much quicker.
