Tivon Energy provides a microgrid solution that delivers reliable and sustainable electricity without carbon emissions. Our utility-patent thermal energy storage technology ensures a continuous supply of electricity from a self-generated, behind-the-meter source.
The Challenge
THE MISSION-CRITICAL GOALS
Wind and solar photovoltaic (variable renewable energy (VRE)) generation resources are not a baseload electricity resource without the integration of a long-duration energy storage system. Electrical grid systems with a high concentration of VRE generators represent a significant challenge to system operators.
Two mission-critical priorities for a long-duration energy storage solution are the lowest risk of fires and explosions, and the ability to provide 24/7 dispatchable energy. Tivon's system excels at achieving these mission-critical priorities.
Tivon Energy provides a microgrid solution that ensures a continuous supply of electricity from a self-generated, behind-the-meter source.
OUR SOLUTION
Tivon’s utility-patent system bridges the energy transition gap from traditional carbon-based electric generation resources to increasing the percentage of VRE generation without increasing the congestion on the utility grids.
Tivon’s innovative design reduces the parasitic load, reduces the overnight capital cost, reduces the O&M cost, removes the risk of the thermal storage fluid freezing, and maintenance services are performed without long-term disruption of or cessation of operations. These advantages are significant when compared to existing thermal energy storage systems.
How The Tivon System Works
Tivon Energy - Transforming Thermal Energy Storage
Collects: Energy is collected from solar photovoltaic or wind generation resources, or the utility grid.
Converts: The electricity is converted into heat by electrical resistance heaters.
Storage: The heat is stored as sensible heat in molten salt.
Recovery: The thermal energy is converted into rotational energy by a heat engine. The rotational energy is then converted into electricity via generator.
Distribution: The electricity and optional process heat is discharged as reliable, and sustainable zero-carbon electric generation or process heat to the end-user.

Tivon System Various Deployment Configurations
Tivon - Transformative Microgrid Solution
The nation’s electric power grid is extremely vulnerable to cascading failures, cyberattacks, existential threats such as weather, solar storms, and Electronic Magnetic Pulse, and physical attacks by domestic and foreign terrorists.
Tivon's system is a cost-effective and reliable utility-scale energy storage technology. When integrated with VRE generation resources it is one of the keys to unlocking energy transition, decarbonization of economies, and enhancing the security and resilience of the U.S. electric grid.
Tivon Microgrid
Microgrids improve customers' reliability and resilience by generating electricity close to the point of consumption.
Microgrids operate independently from utility grids, which insulates customer from disturbances on the main utility grid.
The Electric Grid of the Future
Grid Modernization
The modernization of the electric grid demands innovative solutions. Centralized electricity supply is no longer the sole reality. Transmission congestion is a significant issue for the US power grid.
Daily there are hundreds of transmission line outages across the US, both planned and unplanned. However, only a small percentage of these outages are causing electricity grid congestion.
Microgrid Solution to Centralized Utility Grid
Microgrids change the movement and congestion patterns across large-scale transmission systems by generating electricity close to the point of use. This reduces the need to transmit electricity over long distances.
Tivon's Microgrid System
Organizations are realizing that the ownership of a microgrid system can reduce their overall operating costs while simultaneously ensuring the reliability of their own continuous and autonomous energy supply. Microgrid customers exchange the cost of purchasing electricity from the utility grid for a self-generating system with a debt service.
The installation of a captive microgrid system provides organizations with a financial advantage and operational reliability when compared to purchasing electricity from the central grid. This is especially true given the current Investment Tax Credits (§48 ITCs) and Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) entitled under the technology-neutral Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) Section 48E.
