Our products work together to provide a seamless energy storage solution
- Nova Spin
Nova Spin—our flywheel energy storage system—corrects power quality issues, provides true inertial-based electricity, and charges and discharges 10x faster than chemical batteries alone. Its job is to cover large spikes in demand, whether that's from a certain piece of manufacturing equipment or an unplanned demand response event.
- Nova Pulse
While Nova Spin handles spikes in demand, Nova Pulse stores and discharges steady, reliable base-load power. It provides long-duration outage protection, reduces time-of-use rates, and aligns renewable energy production with demand curves.
- Nova Shield
Nova Shield is a security hardware appliance designed to protect energy storage systems through advanced cybersecurity measures, robust network architecture, and seamless integration. It is installed with every Nova system, preventing unauthorized digital and physical intrusions.
- Overwatch
While Nova Shield protects against intrusions, Overwatch monitors the security, performance, and safety of every Nova asset across millions of data points, instantly identifying issues and alerting our on-call maintenance, security, and engineering teams. This combination of 24/7 real-time monitoring and designated O&M support reduces operational complexity and downtime.
- Lasso
Lasso is our AI-powered energy management software. It orchestrates how power flows between your energy assets, optimizing for savings, outage protection, GHG reductions, and other operational goals. It is designed to easily integrate with existing software stacks via API.
Integrated energy storage, management, security, monitoring, & maintenance
Every piece of our full-stack solution fits together seamlessly, improving reliability, performance, and security.
Smarter energy storage
Nuisance Trips
Power quality issues can trigger safety mechanisms that unexpectedly cause machinery to shut down.
Production & Inventory Losses
Unplanned outages and shutdowns often lead to scrapped material, lost inventory, and costly downtime.
Variable Speed Drive Failures
Many modern machines are controlled by variable speed drives (VFDs), which are especially sensitive to power quality issues.
Issues With Precision Equipment
Advanced manufacturing machinery often requires clean, high-quality power to function properly.
HVAC Compressor Failures
Voltage, frequency, and harmonic distortions cause undue stress on HVAC systems, leading to premature failures.
Power Factor Charges
Modern machinery often causes buildings to have a low power factor, resulting in steep penalties from utility providers.
UPS Cooling Costs
Traditional UPS systems can be incredibly costly to cool. Torus systems require minimal cooling.
Data Losses
Unplanned outages from power quality issues can lead to data losses across organizations.
The benefits of hybrid energy storage
Nova Pulse operates in tandem with Nova Spin, our flywheel energy storage system (FESS), providing numerous advantages compared to chemical-only storage solutions.
2x Longer Lifespan
Nova hybrid storage lasts 2x longer than chemical batteries alone. By responding to surges in demand, Nova Spin greatly reduces the degradation of Nova Pulse.
Torus Nova Shield
Built-in cybersecurity protection
- Zero Trust Architecture
Nova Shield includes multiple layers of cyber defense, including a zero trust network architecture, intrusion prevention, asset inventory, external security cameras, and secure remote access—all designed with no internet-facing attack surface.
- Threat & Anomaly Protection
Nova Shield is centrally monitored and managed through a Starlink™ connection. This provides Torus with the ability to quickly and remotely identify malicious activity, respond to potential threats, and notify local law enforcement when needed.
- Fully Integrated
Nova Shield's cyber defense technology is built into every Nova Pulse system we manufacture. Nova Shield is fully integrated into Torus Overwatch and designed to identify potential risks and protect our products from cyber attacks. Security events and notifications are available within the Overwatch section of Torus Lasso, our energy management platform.
- Resiliency & Redundancy
Nova Shield includes fail-safes and backup systems to maintain uninterrupted operations during failures or emergencies.
