Energy Warehouse System Deployment at CBITEC
ESS Technology, Inc. (NYSE: GWH) announces the successful commissioning of its Energy Warehouse (EW) system at the Contingency Base Integration Training Evaluation Center (CBITEC). The system, located at Fort Leonard Wood, MO, replaces a 2016 prototype and demonstrates the prowess of long-duration energy storage.
Key Role of Iron Flow Battery Technology
The recently integrated EW system plays a pivotal role in showcasing the benefits of long-duration energy storage, specifically emphasizing iron flow battery technology. Deployed in a tactical microgrid at CBITEC, the system aims to reduce fuel consumption at Contingency Bases (CB) like Forward Operating Bases.
Optimizing Diesel Generator Performance
Most CBs currently rely on diesel generators with varying output, leading to inefficiencies and increased fuel consumption. ESS’s long-duration energy storage is poised to optimize diesel generator performance, potentially reducing diesel consumption by up to 40%.
Advantages of ESS Iron Flow Technology
ESS’s iron flow technology, designed for resilient long-duration energy storage, offers a sustainable solution for various applications. With a 25-year design life and unlimited cycling without capacity fade, ESS systems prove effective for utility-scale renewable energy installations, remote microgrids, solar load-shifting, and ancillary grid services.
In addition to showcasing the benefits of long-duration energy storage, the project aligns with ESS Inc.’s mission to accelerate global decarbonization by providing reliable and sustainable energy storage solutions.
