These forms include Tower Gravity Energy Storage (TGES), Mountain Gravity Energy Storage (MGES), Advanced Rail Energy Storage (ARES), and Shaft Gravity Energy Storage (SGES). The advantages and disadvantages of each technology are analyzed to provide insights for the development of gravity energy storage.
This paper conducts a comparative analysis of four primary gravity energy storage forms in terms of technical principles, application practices, and potentials. These forms include Tower Gravity Energy Storage (TGES), Mountain Gravity Energy Storage (MGES), Advanced Rail Energy Storage (ARES), and Shaft Gravity Energy Storage (SGES).
In 2017, Tan et al. proposed an efficient gravity energy storage (GES) device shown in Fig. 2(a), using movable pulley blocks to lift heavy objects, which effectively reduces energy loss. The comprehensive energy conversion efficiency of the proposed device can reach more than 96 %.
To be sure, nearly all the world's currently operational energy-storage facilities, which can generate a total of 174 gigawatts, rely on gravity. Pumped hydro storage, where water is pumped to a higher elevation and then run back through a turbine to generate electricity, has long dominated the energy-storage landscape.
In mountainous regions with suitable track laying and a certain slope, rail-type gravity energy storage exhibits significant development potential and can essentially replace pumped storage. SGES facilitates the reuse of abandoned mines.
