From upstream rigs and drilling pads to midstream pump stations and downstream refineries, oil and gas operations require high-reliability power in remote, often unstable environments.
Backyard Energy’s flywheel systems deliver safe, high-performance, and zero-maintenance backup and load-leveling power—ideal for mission-critical infrastructure far from the grid.
🧯 No lithium = No thermal runaway risk
🔒 Sealed system—no venting, no fumes
🔩 Vibration-resistant and shock-tolerant
🌡️ Performs from –40°C to +50°C without active cooling
Unlike batteries, our flywheels don’t degrade in heat, freeze in the cold, or require chemical safety measures.
