Gravity energy storage systems (GESS) for grid support and renewable energy integration. G-VAULT™ is a family of gravity energy storage products that decouple power and energy while maintaining a high round-trip efficiency.
The system’s overall round-trip efficiency ranges between 70 and 75%. The entire process is chemical-free and environmentally friendly. Suitable for mountainous areas and abandoned mines, several pilot projects of rail-mounted gravity energy storage systems have already been implemented.
The first grid-scale commercialization Gravitricity project was connected in December 2023, storing 100 MWh of energy to power 9 homes for a year . Each US-GES system can store 1–20 MWh, has a cycle efficiency of 80–90 % and lasts 50 years . The levelized cost of storage is $172/MWh .
Gravitational energy storage (GES) is both mechanical and physical energy storage [, , ]. Currently, its energy storage media mainly consist of solids and water [12, 32]. GES technology leverages the gravitational field to store and release electrical energy (EE).
Its working principle is similar to that of tower-based gravity energy storage, except that this system employs natural underground shafts or abandoned mines to lift heavy weights. This approach fully leverages existing underground spaces, reduces construction costs, and minimizes surface land occupation.
