Gravity energy storage system (GES) evaluated in this study is an emerging mechanical storage device which operates in a similar manner to pumped hydro energy storage (PHES). The distinctive feature of GES from PHES is its flexible installation which doesn''t depend on specific topographic requirements.
1. The basic principle for gravity energy storage. If purely theoretical, gravity energy storage is the simplest way to store energy, and its principle is similar to pumped storage, which is to store energy with potential energy caused by gravity. When there is excess power, the driver lifts the heavy object to a high position, and when power ...
