Jul 6, 2022 · Solid gravity energy storage technology (SGES) is a promising mechanical energy storage technology suitable for large-scale applications.
Interest in energy storage systems has been increased with the growing penetration of variable renewable energy sources. This paper discusses a detailed economic analysis of an attractive gravitational potential energy storage option, known as gravity energy storage (GES).
To investigate the economic performance of differently sized gravity energy storage systems, a wind farm with a number of gravity energy storage units has been used. The principle of economies of scale has been applied resulting in a cost reduction for large scale systems.
This calculation takes into consideration the time value of money with a discount rate over the system lifetime. To calculate the levelized cost of gravity energy storage, the system investment cost is found by adding all relevant construction, and equipment costs for the installation of the system.
Depending on the considered scenarios and assumptions, the levelized cost of storage of GES varies between 7.5 €ct/kWh and 15 €ct/kWh, while it is between 3.8 €ct/kWh and 7.3 €ct/kWh for gravity energy storage with wire hoisting system (GESH). The LCOS of GES and GESH were then compared to other energy storage systems.
This system stores electricity in the form of gravitational potential energy. This work presents an approach to size gravity storage technically and economically. It performs an economic analysis to determine the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) for this technology, and then compares it to other storage alternatives.
Gravity energy storage system is an innovative energy storage concept based on the same principle as PHES. This system has attracted attention lately due to the many benefits it provides as it does not require any special geographical requirement [ 39 ].
