  • Frequency regulation
  • Voltage support during typhoon outages

The 5-Step Design Process

Designing effective solutions resembles solving a three-dimensional puzzle – here's how professionals approach it:

Step 1: Load Profile Analysis

Analyze energy consumption patterns like a nutritionist examining dietary needs. Key metrics include:

  • Peak demand duration
  • Daily discharge cycles
  • Seasonal variations

Step 2: Technology Selection

Choose between SMES (Superconducting Magnetic) and FES (Flywheel) systems based on:

  • Required discharge duration
  • Environmental constraints
  • Budget parameters
"Our Vietnam hybrid system combines SMES for milliseconds response and lithium-ion for hourly storage – like having both sprinters and marathon runners on your team."
