Located in Stanton, Orange County, California, the Stanton Battery Energy Storage (SBES) project serves the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) market with resource adequacy (RA), ancillary services, and merchant power capabilities to support bulk renewable energy shifting in the transmission-constrained Los Angeles area.
Energy Vault completed delivery of the 68.8 MW/275.2 MWh (4-hour) project in August 2023.
Energy Vault’s
in-house product expertise, full Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) wrap services, and global supply chain relationships enabled a bespoke BESS installation that was designed from the ground up. The result was a unique solution that met the critical needs of Wellhead Electric Co. and partner developer W Power, including optimized energy density and an expedited construction timeline.
Energy Vault’s proprietary Energy Management System (EMS) software, VaultOS™, allowed for rapid commissioning, troubleshooting, and timely completion of all grid compliance testing required by the local regulated utility, Southern California Edison. VaultOS™ will continue to coordinate asset operations on behalf of Wellhead Electric and W Power throughout the project’s lifecycle.
