We have been tasked with designing several types of equipment and determining their relationships and interdependencies. It was clear that energy storage is a keystone in renewable energy management. Therefore, we needed to grasp hydrogen technology and battery storage and management as one complex ecosystem. 

While developing the Envision ESS, we rapidly oriented the research toward an essential language. We designed it as a duplicable building block adaptable to different situations. This equipment is designed for adaptability and blends into diverse environments thanks to its reflective enclosure. The unit parting lines form a grid that extends once units are aligned close to one another. This grid recalls the energy grid system.

The Truck Battery Swap Station is a quick-to-deploy and robust system that can rapidly swap the battery of a commercial truck. Unlike existing swap stations that swap the batteries from below, the Envision system uses a sophisticated lifting mechanism to replace a truck battery to ensure efficient logistics rapidly.

Hydrogen offers greater energy density for long-range needs and faster refueling than batteries, making it suitable for heavy-duty and long-distance applications. Those qualities make Hydrogen related technologies a strategic field of research for Envision. We conducted design research on the electrolyzer and the BOP (Balance of Plant).

Our design goals were to disconnect the aesthetic from the chemistry field and embrace a design language evoking cutting-edge technology and sustainability while ensuring the overall hydrogen system’s efficiency, reliability, and safety.
