13 February 2024 SWEDEN – The energy storages are being built in Falköping (16 MW), Karlskrona (16 MW), Katrineholm (20 MW), Mjölby (8 MW), Sandviken (20 MW), Vaggeryd (11 MW), Värnamo (20 MW) and Västerås (11 MW). A storage with a power of 20 MW correlates to what a Swedish town with 40,000 inhabitants on average consumes during peak hours.
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 a broad sense, gravity energy storage (GES) refers to mechanical technologies that utilize the height drop of energy storage media, such as water or solid, to realize the charging and discharging process of energy storage. Pumped energy storage is also a form of GES.
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.
