Edinburgh-based company Gravitricity has announced its plans to develop underground gravity energy storage projects for deep mine operators in Slovenia, Germany, the Czech Republic, and Finland.
The project is designed to have an energy storage capacity of 100 megawatt-hours, which can power 3,400 homes for a day, and the system is expected to be completed in June.
The company plans to fund up to five projects at current and former mines. Gravitricity has also been contracted to investigate the potential of storing energy at a decommissioned mine in Halle, Germany, by the mine’s owner Geiger Group.
The collaboration is to develop a 100MW Hybrid Gravity Energy Storage System, a solution designed by Energy Vault for underground mines, pairing their modular gravity storage and batteries. According to a press release by Energy Vault, the energy storage solution will be deployed 1640 feet (500 meters) deep mine shafts.
The firm’s technology works by raising weights in a deep shaft and releasing them when energy is required. The technology is similar to that employed by Switzerland-headquartered and NYSE-listed Energy Vault, whose CEO Robert Piconi provided an update to its first commercial gravity energy storage project in Rudong, China, in a shareholder letter.
“We believe that this exciting application of our energy storage solutions, including a new use for our gravity energy storage technology – deploying it underground – could hold vast potential for future applications,” said Marco Terruzin, Chief Commercial and Product Officer, Energy Vault.
Gravitricity and Energy Vault have progressed their gravity energy storage solutions, with project updates in USA/Germany and China.
According to a press release by Energy Vault, the energy storage solution will be deployed 1640 feet (500 meters) deep mine shafts. The storage unit will be developed with the use of VaultOS proprietary energy management software.
