Resilient Energy Storage Pods (RESPs) | Design Frontiers

Resilient Energy Storage Pods (RESPs)

Self-contained, hardened energy storage units (batteries or hydrogen-based) designed to withstand extreme weather events and grid failures. These pods can be deployed quickly to communities lacking reliable microgrid backups, providing emergency power for essential services (hospitals, shelters) after a disaster. Activation via phone/radio signal with simple interface.
