Torus Nova Spin
Fast, responsive flywheel energy storage
We're proud to announce Nova Spin—our flywheel energy storage system— was included in TIME’s Best Inventions of 2024 list.
- Higher Power Density
Nova Spin's C-rating is 10x faster than traditional chemical batteries, allowing it to deliver more power over a shorter amount of time.
- Load Leveling & Peak Shaving
Faster charging and discharging rates allow Nova Spin to quickly offset spiking demand and optimize grid operations.
- Spinning Reserve Capabilities
Nova Spin is an inertial-based storage asset that can sit online indefinitely and ramp up to full output on short notice.
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.
Torus Nova Pulse
Modular, long-lasting chemical battery storage
- Scalable Sizing
Nova Pulse utilizes a modular system of power and storage capabilities, allowing for custom installations and efficient scaling.
- Battery Partitioning Technology
Nova Pulse can be split into different portions, each with a separate directive like energy bill savings and outage protection, aligning assets with operational needs.
- 2x Longer Lifespan
By allowing Nova Spin to do the heavy lifting, Nova Pulse lasts twice as long as traditional chemical batteries, reducing the overall levelized storage cost of Nova installations.
ADVANTAGES
The advantages of hybrid energy storage
Combining kinetic and chemical battery storage unlocks value for businesses and grid operators alike.
Energy Management
Customize Nova assets to meet operational goals
With Battery Profiles, you can designate certain portions of your energy storage to prioritize certain tasks like outage protection or bill savings. You can schedule different profiles to take effect throughout the day or week, ensuring your battery storage keeps pace with the evolving needs of the grid or your business.
