SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USING A HELICAL PILE AS A FOUNDATION TO ATTACH TO A BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM

An energy storage system includes a plurality of energy storage nodes, each of which includes a battery storage element, and a plurality of helical piles for coupling the plurality of energy storage nodes to a solid substratum. Two adjacent energy storage nodes share a single helical pile or a fixed number of the plurality of helical piles is determined by site soil and seismic conditions. A method for attaching an energy storage system to a solid substratum is also provided.
