THOR is a flywheel energy storage system that absorbs your site's electrical peaks in real time — no chemistry, no degradation, a 30ms response, and a payback period you can put in front of your CFO.
None of them show up as a single alarming line item. All three show up on every invoice, and two of them carry forward for months after the event that caused them.
Installed between the substation and the container-lifting cranes creating the peaks. Live since Q2 2024.
THOR stores energy mechanically, in a rotating mass under vacuum. It charges and discharges thousands of times without degradation — a different set of trade-offs to batteries, and for this job, the better ones.
Fast enough to absorb a peak before it registers on the network's measurement window.
No chemical degradation, no capacity fade, no replacement cycle to budget for.
Designed for continuous daily cycling — the exact duty profile that shortens battery life fastest.
No lithium chemistry on site. A materially different risk and insurance profile.
Sits between your substation and the load creating the peak — the peak simply never reaches the meter.
QuinteQ's global patents, HBIT's exclusive distribution. Not sourceable through a competitor.
*Rated for continuous duty cycling within design load range — see technical specification for site-specific figures.
We'll tell you, in writing, whether the ratchet, the power factor penalty, or the harmonics are your actual cost driver — and what a THOR installation would be worth to you. No retainer, no conflict of interest: HBIT is an independent, unconflicted advisor.
