Energy Vault Project – China, Rudong
The EVx ™ system is projected to achieve an impressive round-trip efficiency exceeding 80%. This places the new gravity system at the forefront of energy storage
Gravity energy storage (GES) technology relies on the vertical movement of heavy objects in the gravity field to store or release potential energy which can be easily coupled to electricity conversion. GES can be matched with renewable energy such as photovoltaic and wind power.
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.
Gravitricity and Energy Vault have progressed their gravity energy storage solutions, with project updates in USA/Germany and China.
It also revealed that the concrete foundations have been completed for the firm's first gravity storage project in the US, in Georgia with Enel Green Power. Energy Vault now provides a range of energy storage solutions including battery storage and green hydrogen and is forecasting for US$325-425 million in revenues this year.
This allows renewable energy to be used when it is needed. Gravitricity is developing a novel storage technology which offers some of the best characteristics of lithium batteries and pumped storage. Its patented technology is based on a simple principle: raising and lowering a heavy weight to store energy.
