The Crompton Technology Group (CTG), the Banbury, UK based company that specialises in the design and manufacture of advanced composites for the motorsport, aerospace and medical imaging industries, has launched ‘Clean Energy Technologies’, a new division of the business that will develop and manufacture products such as composite flywheels, turbo–machinery, high speed motors and generating sets.

Composite flywheels are currently used in uninterruptible power systems, the flywheel stores kinetic energy and can release that energy when the mains power is cut. The system can produce energy for a short amount of time until generators are started up for longer periods of power. These systems are used in critical applications like hospitals where constant power is crucial.

CTG’s engineering director Mike Dewhirst said, “In the current climate finding ‘green’ solutions is becoming far more important and with CTG’s extensive composite knowledge products like flywheels, for kinetic energy storage can be of real benefit.”
