New independent energy storage

Why do we need energy storage solutions?

As the global energy transition accelerates, the need for reliable, scalable and cost-effective energy storage solutions has never been greater.

What is ESS Energy Storage?

ESS is a leading provider of long-duration energy storage solutions ideally suited for C&I, utility, microgrid and off-grid applications. Using food-grade, earth-abundant elements like iron, salt, and water for the electrolyte, its innovative iron flow battery system is changing how the industry deploys energy storage.

How can energy storage technology improve resiliency?

This FOA supports large-scale demonstration and deployment of storage technologies that will provide resiliency to critical facilities and infrastructure. Projects will show the ability of energy storage technologies to provide dependable supply of energy as back up generation during a grid outage or other emergency event.

What are the different types of stationary energy storage technologies?

Stationary energy storage technologies broadly fall into three categories: electro-chemical storage, namely batteries, fuel cells and hydrogen storage; electro-mechanical storage, such as compressed air storage, flywheel storage and gravitational storage; and thermal storage, including sensible, latent and thermochemical storage.

What does OE's new RD&D report mean for energy storage?

New Report Showcases Innovation to Advance Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES): OE today released its new report “Achieving the Promise of Low Cost LDES.” This report is one example of OE’s pioneering RD&D work to advance the next generation of energy storage technologies.

What is R-19 energy storage & how does it work?

The technology uses a fluid known as R-19, which is 2.5-times denser than water, allowing for smaller projects for the same energy storage capacity and providing valuable cost savings. Similar to conventional pumped hydro storage projects, the pilot will provide long-duration energy storage.
