The Fall and Rise of Gravity Storage Technologies
Stronger soil, clay, or rock allows for tighter packing. Energy Vault''s packing density is set by the tower width. The current tower has an arm-swept-circle radius of 42 m, which results in a footprint of 5,600 m 2 per tower, or an energy density of 6.3 kWh/m 2. Multiple 35 MWh towers are combined to form a storage farm (analogous to multiple
