Centre for Urban Energy – ResearchFlywheel Energy Storage – Frequency Regulation

IESO procures the ancillary service of frequency regulation, a signal every 20 secs.

Ontario requires 150 MW capacity.

Temporal Power specified a 10-flywheel system utilizing its 250 kW flywheels, providing a +/- 2.5 MW nameplate capacity.

The site, located in a small industrial park in the Town of Minto, approximately 2 hours north of Toronto [44 kV line, 2014].
