Enabling System Flexibility - IESO Stakeholder Engagement /// Temporal Power Feedback
Features and Benefits of the Temporal Flywheel (3).pdf; Applications - Grid
Balancing.pdf; Applications - Renewable Integration (10).pdf
To the IESO System Flexibility Team,
In response to the IESO Stakeholder Engagement meeting of August 16, 2016, Temporal Power Ltd. wishes to offer the following input to
the IESO. Temporal Power's Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS) provides is a potential solution to the IESO for providing "System
Flexibility" for Grid Balancing and Renewable Integration.
Temporal Power flywheels respond to full power in 100 milliseconds to match destabilizing changes on the grid, resulting in energy
accurately delivered on time for optimal grid balancing. The flexibility of the Temporal Power flywheels can help to reduce the variability of
Power and Energy needs on the grid and help provide certainty for the IESO in milliseconds. The range of our flywheels is unaffected by the
number of cycles and by the depth of discharge over their 20 year life cycle.
Our flywheel technology is providing real-time Grid Balancing services that include:
 Frequency control and regulation reserve: Whether providing direct frequency control or contributing to area balancing, the
speed and ramping capabilities of our flywheels results in more energy being delivered exactly when it is needed. Resulting in a
higher and more effective regulation capacity than traditional generation sources, decreasing the cost to provide these ancillary
services
 Voltage and power quality support: Fast response and the ability to provide both real and reactive power are critical to balance
local power fluctuations caused by industrial loads or renewable energy sources, helping to improve power quality and stabilize
voltage levels at the local distribution level.
In addition, our flywheel technology can support Renewable Integration to the grid by aiding in the consistency for Variable
Generation. Temporal Power flywheels balance out the short term intermittencies caused by VG such as wind and solar power, which can
cause both local and grid-wide power quality challenges. Our technology is capable of responding quickly to short-duration power
fluctuations from renewable generation. Temporal Power's Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS) acts like a shock absorber, smoothing
power flows to reduce strain on the electricity system. Resulting benefits to power producers, utilities and customers include:
 Increased renewable penetration
 Reduced curtailment
 Improved power quality
Temporal Power's Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS) is flexible and available in real-time and provides Energy Storage in the 1 min.
to 30 min. time period and is designed to handle extreme cycling events. Our FESS is scalable to system need changes over time. For your
convenience, I have attached some additional literature on the Temporal Power flywheels and the applications mentioned earlier.
In our opinion, the Response Rate and the Signal Mileage the energy storage system travels are important market conditions that must be
identified during the development of the IESO's System Flexibility needs and principles.
Feel free to contact me directly should you have any questions regarding Temporal Power's feedback or the information attached.
Best regards,
Tim

A Flywheel
like No Other
A flywheel stores energy and can
be thought of as a “Kinetic Battery”.
Flywheels work by accelerating a
rotating mass to a high speed and
using the momentum
totechnology
generate
cleaner
electricity when needed.
Using fully recyclable components,
Temporal Power flywheels are a clean
technology solving some of the most
challenging issues on power grids
around the world.

High Performance
Defined
Speed
Speed matters for high-performance energy storage
applications. Temporal Power flywheels respond to full
power in milliseconds to match destabilizing changes on
the grid, resulting in energy accurately delivered on time
for optimal grid balancing.
Range
Being unaffected by number of cycles and by the depth of
discharge, Temporal Power flywheels offer unfettered use
of the full range of the storage device as many times as
required for 20 years. This feature allows for “right
sizing” the storage device to meet the requirement of the
application rather than the limitation of the technology.
Endurance
With no degradation in energy capacity over the
flywheel’s 20 year life, Temporal Power flywheel systems
do not need to be replaced or de-rated. Retired systems
can either be re-used or recycled.

Flywheels for Grid Balancing
A Solution for the Power Grids of Today...and Tomorrow
Grid balancing has historically been achieved by conventional power generators that reserve capacity in order
to provide a range of ancillary services. For real-time balancing such as frequency and voltage control, the speed at
which a generator is able to ramp up and down dictates the value of the service being provided. Recently, alternative
technologies are being sought which can provide many of these services more effectively than conventional generators,
thereby reducing costs for grid operators. The rapid response time and high ramp rate of Temporal Power’s flywheel results
in more energy being delivered precisely when it is needed.
Flywheel Energy Storage Capabilities
Temporal Power has advanced the state of the art in flywheel technology dramatically and has developed a 1MW
flywheel, which is the highest energy flywheel in the world. This, combined with the ability to provide both real and
reactive power, along with the inherent advantages of fast response and unlimited cycling due to no degradation
makes Temporal Power’s flywheel a leading technology for providing real-time grid balancing services that include:
Frequency control and regulation reserve: Whether providing direct frequency control or contributing to area
balancing, the speed and ramping capabilities of Temporal Power’s flywheel results in more energy being
delivered when it is needed. MW for MW, this provides a higher and more effective regulation capacity than traditional
generation sources, decreasing the cost to provide these ancillary services.
Voltage and power quality support: Fast response and the ability to provide both real and reactive power are
critical to balance local power fluctuations caused by industrial loads or renewable energy sources, helping to
improve power quality and stabilize voltage levels at the local distribution level.

Temporal Power Ltd.
Grid operators require a solution to
efficiently integrate renewable energy
sources such as solar and wind power
Temporal Power’s flywheel energy
storage technology helps to effectively
manage output variability, resulting in
a smooth output of power from wind
and solar
Flywheels for Renewable Integration
Adding Predictability to Wind and Solar Power
Temporal Power flywheels balance out the short term intermittencies caused by wind and solar power, which can cause
both local and grid-wide power quality challenges. By responding quickly to short-duration power fluctuations from
renewable generation Temporal Power’s energy storage solution acts like a shock absorber, smoothing power flows to
reduce strain on the electricity system. This results in benefits to power producers, utilities and customers which include:
Increased renewable penetration
Reduced curtailment
Improved power quality
Flywheel Energy Storage Capabilities
Voltage and power quality support: The ability to provide both real and reactive power to balance local power
fluctuations caused by industrial loads or renewable energy sources helps to improve power quality and stabilize voltage
levels at the local distribution level.
Ramp rate control: The majority of ramps greater than 10% occur over a very short period of time (<1min).
The rapid response and high power of flywheels eliminates these high ramping events, resulting in smoother
power output, and a more stable power system.
Frequency control: A flywheel plant can be dispatched as a flexible grid support asset, providing direct
frequency control that responds to balancing commands from the grid operator. The rapid response of flywheels
results in more effective energy delivery than conventional generators in providing short-duration grid balancing.
