Customer ServiceEnergy Vault has created a new storage system in which a six-arm crane sits atop a 33-storey tower, raising and lowering concrete blocks and storing energy in a similar method to pumped hydropower stations. How does the process compare to other forms of energy storage, such as batteries and pumped-storage hydro?

Customer ServiceEnergy Vault SOM and Energy Vault are on the hunt for partners to bring these battery towers to life. Their superstructure tower could reach heights of 985 to 3,300 feet and feature hollow shafts resembling elevator shafts for moving blocks, while still housing residential and commercial spaces.
The tower is controlled by computer systems and machine vision software that orchestrate the charging and discharging cycles. A range of storage durations from two to 12 hours or longer is achievable, said the company. This first commercial installation in China will use a 4-hour duration.

In May 2024, Energy Vault, a company specializing in grid-scale energy storage, announced a global partnership with Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) to transform tall buildings and superstructures into ‘big batteries’ using the technology called gravity energy storage systems (GESS).
In addition to supplying a flexible reserve of energy to compensate for the intermittency of renewables, the towers have the potential to provide other important ancillary services to maintain grid stability and reliability. Tower generation ramps up within milliseconds and reaches full power output in 2.9 seconds.
“In each gravity-based energy storage, a certain mass is moved from a lower point to an upper point – with the use of a pump, if water for example – which represents ‘charging’ the storage, and from a higher to a lower point which creates a discharge of energy,” says Energy Vault CEO and co-founder Robert Piconi.
