Capability study of dry gravity energy storage

3.1. Energy storage capacity. To analyse the energy storage capacity, the potential energy of the piston can be stated as (1) E = mgh, where m is the mass in kg, g is the gravitational constant (9.81 m/s 2) and h is the height. Converting between Joule (J) and Watt-hour (Wh) is done as in (2). (2) 1 kWh = 3.6 × 10 6 J.

How gravity batteries will help us switch to renewable energy

4 · Gravity batteries might be the answer. The idea sounds simple – when there is plenty of green energy, the batteries use the power to lift a heavy weight either high into the air or to the top of a deep shaft. Then when the power is needed, winches gradually lower the weight, and produce electricity from the movement of the cables.
