Slated to be fully grid-interconnected in Q4 2023, the gravity tower will mark the world’s first non-pumped hydro gravity-based storage facility. The project is located near a wind power facility outside of Shanghai in Jiangsu Province, China. It is a 25 MW / 100 MWh storage system that makes use of the company’s new “ribbon” based lifting systems.
unlike pumped hydro, the gravity system can be built almost anywhere because it just uses gravity SOM and Energy Vault believe this can lead to storing clean energy from solar and wind power project info: name: Gravity energy storage systems (GESS) architecture firm: Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) company: Energy Vault
Classification of energy storage technologies. Gravity energy storage technology (GES) depends on the vertical movement of a heavy object in a gravitational field to store or release electricity.
In May 2024, Energy Vault, a company specializing in grid-scale energy storage, announced a global partnership with Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) to transform tall buildings and superstructures into ‘big batteries’ using the technology called gravity energy storage systems (GESS).
Energy Vault secured $100 million in Series C funding for its EVx tower, which stores gravitational potential energy for grid dispatch. The EVx energy storage tower lifts composite blocks with electric motors.
