Mountain Gravity Energy Storage (MGES)

A proposed electricity storage solution that uses mountains to store energy. It involves using cranes to pull containers of sand or gravel to the top of a mountain, and then generating electricity as these materials are lowered by gravity.

Lithium-ion battery

A hybrid lithium-ion battery buffer is used to smooth power fluctuations and handle peak loads in conjunction with the hydrogen fuel cell.

Photovoltaic generation integrated into Kaiser Permanente's microgrid as part of the hybrid renewable energy system.
