<\/a><\/p>\n The grid — that seemingly amorphous structure\u00a0that delivers power on demand — requires instantly available power to light up our world.\u00a0Renewable sources of energy are inherently cyclical and intermittent, making energy storage a primary factor for future development of reliable utility-scale renewable energy sources. Of all the storage systems tried and tested, pumped hydro<\/a> is the only method in wide commercial use, with more than 120,000 megawatts deployed worldwide. But there is a problem.<\/p>\nGravity power module — a step toward utility-scale energy storage.<\/h3>\n
A better alternative to energy storage<\/h3>\n
