Project Overview
One Contract. Full Accountability.
Energy Vault's customer-centric approach delivered a custom-designed BESS that maximized energy density within a highly space-constrained urban site and met an accelerated project timeline.
Located in Stanton, Orange County, California, the Stanton Battery Energy Storage project serves the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) market with resource adequacy (RA), ancillary services, and merchant power capabilities to support bulk renewable energy shifting in the transmission-constrained Los Angeles area.
Energy Vault's in-house product expertise, full engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) wrap services, and global supply chain relationships enabled a custom installation designed from the ground up, a unique solution that met the critical needs of Wellhead Electric Co. and partner developer W Power, including optimized energy density and an expedited construction timeline.
Energy Vault's proprietary EMS software, VaultOS™, allowed for rapid commissioning, troubleshooting, and timely completion of all grid compliance testing required by Southern California Edison. VaultOS™ continues to coordinate asset operations throughout the project's lifecycle.
Project Delivery Highlights
What Made This Project Different
Ø1
Creative Custom Solution
Energy Vault's customer-centric approach enabled the Stanton project to meet energy density constraints that competing system integrators' standard solutions could not.
Ø2
Fast Turnaround
In-house energy storage system delivery and execution expertise enabled delivery and handover within five months of site mobilization.
Ø3
Supply Chain Execution
Through global supplier relationships, Energy Vault coordinated delivery of over 15,000 battery modules and critical long-lead power conversion equipment on schedule.
Ø4
Software-Enabled Startup
VaultOS™ enabled rapid commissioning and market participation despite the custom hardware architecture: full power delivered to the grid within days of mechanical completion.
The Energy Vault team designed and deployed the optimal energy storage solution for our Stanton site. Only a few days after mechanical completion the system delivered full power to the grid validating the quality of the design and execution. Energy Vault did an excellent job of providing a solution that met both the challenging energy density requirements and the equipment delivery time frames to enable the project to go forward. We are a satisfied customer, and we appreciate Energy Vault's expertise, creative thinking and collaborative partnership in bringing this project to fruition.
