Small Modular Compressed Air Energy Storage (SMCAES) Technology

Our innovative and proprietary storage technology is rooted in years of dedicated research from the University of Waterloo, and is supported by a robust patent portfolio and peer-reviewed published research.

Thanks to its proprietary control algorithms and electromechanical energy conversion technology, the system ensures optimal performance and efficiency in a large range of climate conditions.

Designed for Commercial & Industrial Facilities

We fill the gap in energy storage between batteries that provide maximum output for a few hours and large-scale systems, such as pumped hydro, which are meant for grid applications. It is the perfect fit for energy management applications in commercial and industrial facilities that require demand management without any interruption to their operations.

Innovation-driven Solutions

This modular mechanical energy storage system can provide peak demand management for hundreds of KWs and up to a few MWs of power over 8-12 hours, and reduce utility costs by 30-70%. Unlike battery or software-driven solutions in the market, Volta’s flexible architecture and small modular compressor storage system can provide long-duration storage in a minimal footprint and a three hundred percent longer lifecycle. Our system is environmentally friendly, has zero chemical hazards and is fully recyclable.

Proprietary Technology

SMCAES is a new generation of the proven Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) technology that was developed from the ground up for energy management and behind-the-meter storage applications. With its modular design and flexible architecture, this innovative system offers customizable energy storage solutions that are scalable from large residential to small utility-scale systems, while providing heating and cooling as value added services.
