Why are energy storage systems important?
Energy storage systems are crucial for integrating renewable energy sources into the grid. Solar and wind power are intermittent by nature, and storage systems can smooth out these fluctuations, ensuring a consistent energy supply. In remote or off-grid locations, renewable energy storage systems provide a reliable power source.
What is energy storage?
Energy storage is a technology that holds energy at one time so it can be used at another time. Building more energy storage allows renewable energy sources like wind and solar to power more of our electric grid.
Should energy storage systems be affordable?
In recent years, hybrid energy sources with components including wind, solar, and energy storage systems have gained popularity. However, to discourage support for unstable and polluting power generation, energy storage systems need to be economical and accessible.
Are energy storage systems positioned to solve the energy transition?
Clean power sources reached 40.9% of global electricity generation in 2024, marking a significant milestone in the energy transition. However, the inherent intermittency of these sources—the sun doesn't always shine, and the wind doesn't always blow—creates a fundamental challenge that energy storage systems are uniquely positioned to solve.
In partnership with the company Energy Vault, SOM is designing and engineering the next generation of gravity-based energy storage systems—a technology with the potential to make renewable energy grids more resilient and achieve record carbon paybacks in tall buildings. . These startups use gravitation to store energy safely for a long time and deliver it on demand at a lower lifetime cost.
