Energy Vault® LDES solutions are based on proprietary gravity energy technology and ideally deployed for use cases requiring 4 or more hours of storage capacity. The Energy Vault® EVx™ platform utilizes a mechanical process of lifting and lowering composite blocks to store and dispatch electrical energy. Applying the fundamental principles of gravity and potential energy, Energy Vault® GESS combines advanced materials science and proprietary machine-vision software to autonomously coordinate balanced storage and dispatch of electricity for grid-scale applications. Energy Vault® proprietary technology offers long-duration energy storage at a cost-competitive price to support grid reliability and enable renewable energy integration.
Offers breakthrough storage capability ranging from 2-18 hours of duration, with competitive economics and lifetime round-trip-efficiency of over 80%.
Utilizes mobile mass composite block storage medium with no capacity degradation attributes of chemical storage or need for augmentation.
Integrates local site materials for composite block construction and relies on standard industrial system components from predictable regional supply chains.
Introduces a paradigm shift in system safety, removing fire risk from thermal runaway events associated with chemical technologies, and enabling reliable operation in hot or humid environments.
Provides unique selection of operations, maintenance, and long-term service agreements over the 35-year technical lifetime of the system, allowing for service tailored to the changing needs of each client and project site.
Energy Vault® enhances established technologies with proprietary design, advanced computer control, and machine vision to create an energy storage economic breakthrough. Key to the Energy Vault® system design is building on established practices within existing trillion-dollar industries to accelerate scalability and time to market while introducing new innovations across material science, structural design, and proprietary motion control software.
Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in our circular approach to production design which includes the use of locally sourced materials and repurposing of recycled waste, diverted from landfills. Energy Vault® sustainable production design ensures that the systems are built to meet international building and environmental protections standards. Locally sourced materials, supply chain, and work force support sustainable construction design and create economic value within the local community.
