In order to increase the quality of the electricity in urban areas, a new energy storage idea suggests that we transform tall buildings into batteries.In order to ensure that the supply and demand of electricity are appropriately balanced, energy storage technologies are becoming more necessary due to the significant decline in the cost of renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power.

Credit: Hunt et al. researchers proposed a novel gravitational-based energy storage system that makes use of elevators and vacant apartments in tall buildings.
According to the authors, the main challenge in making a gravity energy storage solution viable is the power capacity cost. The most important benefit of LEST is that the power capacity is already installed in lifts with regenerative braking systems. There are over 18 million lifts in operation globally, and many of these spend a significant amount of time sitting still. The idea is that when the lifts are not being used to transport people, they can be used to store or generate electricity.
