The most striking example of this shift to gravity storage is Rudong, China, where a partnership between Energy Vault (a Swiss company) and the Chinese government has created the EVx system. Standing over 120 meters high, the EVx building is a massive mechanical tower for lifting giant blocks weighing 24 tons during surplus energy.
As long as mechanical parts remain functional, the stored energy can be released when needed. Early forms of gravity-based storage have existed for over a century as pumped hydroelectric systems pump water uphill when energy is cheap or abundant and then release it downhill through turbines when electricity demand peaks.
The 25 MW/100 MWh EVx™ Gravity Energy Storage System (GESS) is a 4-hour duration project being built outside of Shanghai in Rudong, Jiangsu Province, China. The EVx™ is under construction directly adjacent to a wind farm and national grid.
This system boasts a peak output of 25 MW and a total capacity of 100 MWh, with an impressive round-trip efficiency of over 80%. The EVx project highlights the potential of gravity storage to meet large-scale energy needs without the environmental and geopolitical challenges associated with lithium-ion batteries.
Our standardized container products are engineered for reliability, safety, and easy deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
