Long-duration iron flow battery maker ESS Inc. completed the installation of a microgrid project including an ESS Energy Warehouse system at an industrial recycling facility in West Grove, Pennsylvania.
The project was developed by TerraSol Energies, Inc., a developer and operator of turnkey solar and storage solutions for commercial customers.
The ESS Energy Warehouse will be integrated with a 115 kW DC solar array to form a microgrid which will reduce peak electricity demand and provide back-up at Sycamore International, a technology recycling company working to enable a global circular economy. The project was showcased at a ribbon-cutting event at the Sycamore International industrial recycling facility.
ESS technology uses iron, salt and water and is capable of providing up to 12 hours of flexible energy capacity for commercial and utility-scale energy storage applications. The technology is used in the commercial sector as well as for utility-scale energy storage applications.
Established in 2011, ESS Inc. enables project developers, independent power producers, utilities and other large energy users to deploy reliable, sustainable long-duration energy storage solutions.
