The projects include a 100MW/200MWh battery energy storage system near Fort Stockton, Texas, which will provide energy and ancillary services to ERCOT, and a 10MW/20MWh system in Carpinteria, California, to provide grid services through participation in the CAISO Resource Adequacy program as well as energy resiliency in Southern California. The projects will provide critically needed dispatchable capacity to these electricity markets and are expected to be completed in 2023.
The systems will utilise Energy Vault Solutions’ (EVS) proprietary integration platform and powered by EVS’ innovative energy management software platform, which started development nine months ago in November 2021. EVS leverages advanced software architecture and optimisation algorithms and enables the integration and orchestration of multiple energy assets under a multitude of use cases.
