ARES

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h1><strong>Grid Scale Energy Storage</strong></h1>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>ARES energy storage technology employs a fleet of electric traction drive shuttle-trains, operating on a closed low-friction automated steel rail network to transport a field of heavy masses between two storage yards at different elevations.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>ARES stores energy by raising the elevation of mass against the force of gravity, and recovers the stored energy as the mass is returned to its original location.</p>

<h3><strong>ARES ADVANTAGES:</strong></h3>

<p><strong>Extensive site options&nbsp;</strong>
ARES sites are abundant in in the arid regions coincident with wind and solar resources maximizing transmission resources by providing storage at the point of intermittent generation.

<strong>Scalability</strong>
ARES facilities are scalable from 100MW with 200MWh of storage capacity up to large 2-3GW regional energy storage system with 16-24GWh energy storage capacity.

<strong>No Use of Water&nbsp;</strong>

<strong>Lower Capital Cost</strong>
ARES cost is approximately 60% of an equivalent power pumped-hydro facility&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Lower Capital Cost</strong>
ARES cost is approximately 60% of an equivalent power pumped-hydro facility&nbsp;

<strong>Higher Efficiency</strong>
ARES round-trip energy storage efficiency is 78.3% &ndash; its round-trip Ancillary Services efficiency is 86%

<strong>Variable Output at a Constant Efficiency</strong>
An ARES system operates at a constant high-efficiency over its full range of power output.

<strong>Ancillary Services</strong>
ARES can provide the full range of Ancillary Services &sbquo;&Auml;&igrave; Reg-Up, Reg-Down, Spinning Reserves, Black-Start as well as VAR Support andHeavy Inertia to the host electrical grid.

<strong>Lowest Levelized Cost kWh</strong>
Based on one full charge/discharge cycle per day, ARES has the lowest levelized cost per kWh of comparable technologies</p>
