Gravity energy storage project is connected to the grid
📌

What is gravity energy storage system (GESS)?

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.

📌

Where is the gravity energy storage system based?

The research and development of the gravity energy storage system has been based in Ticino and operational since with its own R&D centre. The commercial demonstration unit has been connected to the Swiss national utility grid and used for two years of testing and software commissioning.

📌

How many MWh can a grid-scale energy storage system store?

Several projects are currently under way in China and the US, totalling 915 megawatt hours (MWh) of energy storage. The company's first commercial grid-scale project using its proprietary gravity energy storage technology in Rudong, near Shanghai, was connected to the grid in December and can store up to 100 MWh.

📌

Can gravity balance a power grid?

The technology is not much different from pumped storage hydropower. The project was commissioned by China Tianying Group, which signed a contract with State Grid Corp. of China, the country’s main power network operator. The new system is the first in the world that can balance the grid using gravity, Energy Vault pointed out.

📌

Can gravity energy storage power 9 homes a year?

The company's first commercial grid-scale project using its proprietary gravity energy storage technology in Rudong, near Shanghai, was connected to the grid in December and can store up to 100 MWh. In other words, this is enough electricity to power nine homes for a whole year just from stored energy.

What is Energy Vault EVX gravity-energy storage system (GESS)?

Energy Vault has connected its 25 MW/100 MWh EVx gravity-energy storage system (GESS) in China. Once provincial and state approvals are obtained to start operating, it will become the world’s first commercial, utility-scale, non-pumped hydro GESS.
