Description
WHAT SETS THE ENERGY CENTER APART?
With the Energy Center, you’re getting a proven, second-generation solution, field-tested and
so dependable that it’s guaranteed with insurance backed by Munich RE. The Energy Center
supports a wide range of applications:
• Time-shifting renewable energy use
• Providing ancillary grid services
• Smoothing the intermittency of renewables
• Supporting capacity needs and more.
EASY DEPLOYMENT & OPERATION
Energy Center’s simple all-iron electrochemistry is comprised of earth-abundant iron, salt,
and water. The system’s environmentally benign characteristics make it the greenest and
easiest-to-permit storage technology in the world.
The iron flow battery has no fire, chemical, or explosive risk, eliminating the need for
fire-suppression, secondary containment, and hazmat requirements. In addition, the
system is fully recyclable at end-of-life.
• Clean, safe and sustainable
• pH similar to soda and wine, no toxic materials
• Benign chemistry enables standard, lower-cost components for construction
CUSTOMIZABLE AND UPGRADABLE
ESS has worked closely with leading engineering firms to deliver a design-build approach that
enables systems to be tailored to meet any project size with a configurable range of power
capacities starting at 3 MW and energy durations ranging from 6 to 12 hours. The Energy Center
can also be upgraded by adding electrolyte to increase energy capacity and discharge duration,
maximizing project flexibility and delivering the lowest operational cost to owners.
