Energy Storage Technology

We help organizations develop energy storage technology, from concept to commercialization

As engineers around the world continue to explore new methods for manufacturing and generating energy, SoftInWay has supported companies both large and small in their pursuit of constructing and optimizing the most efficient energy storage systems.

While it has become clear to the energy community that renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and tidal are inherently intermittent and non-dispatchable, the development of storage technologies has been crucial for practical usage and economic feasibility. Our forward-thinking team of engineers has been helping both build and consult on the most efficient and climate-friendly energy storage projects in the past decade.

Software Offerings

AxSTREAM provides engineers with the tools to model and study how thermodynamic cycles and fluid systems (including those found in turbomachinery, energy conversion, and propulsion technology) will behave in the real world, all in one flexible and user-friendly software interface.
