Gravity Energy Storage provides a comprehensive analysis of a novel energy storage system. This technology is based on the working principle of the well-established pumped hydro energy storage, but discusses the differences and benefits of the new gravity system. This book provides coverage of the development, feasibility, design, performance, operation, and the economics associated with the implementation of such storage technology. In addition, a number of modeling approaches are proposed as a solution to various difficulties such proper sizing, application, value and optimal design of the system. It includes both technical and economic aspects to guide the realization of this storage system in the right direction. Finally, political considerations and barriers are addressed to complement this work. Discusses the feasibility of gravity energy storage technologyAnalyzes the storage system by modelling various system componentsUniquely discusses the characteristics of this technology, giving consideration to its use as an attractive solution to the integration of large-scale, intermittent renewable energy INDICE: 1.
