UK-based Gravitricity plans to set up a pilot demonstration project for its gravity energy storage systems in India. From pv magazine India
A project to create electricity from gravity has generated its first power at a demonstrator site in Edinburgh. The Gravitricity system acts like a giant battery to balance the electricity coming from renewables. Experts say such storage systems will be increasingly important as our reliance on wind and solar energy grows.
Gravitricity has developed a gravity-based energy storage system that works by raising heavy weights (up to 12,000 tons) in a deep shaft and then releasing them when energy is required. The gravity storage technology could be ideal for India, which aims to install more than 500 GW of renewables by 2030, up from 100 GW in 2021.
From pv magazine India Gravitricity, a Scottish energy storage specialist, has launched a project to demonstrate the feasibility of its gravity energy storage technology for grid balancing in India, as the nation has a growing share of renewables in its power mix.
Featuring the most active solar and storage transactors, join us for a packed two-days of deal-making, learning and networking. Gravitricity and Energy Vault have progressed their gravity energy storage solutions, with project updates in USA/Germany and China.
In October, Gravitricity also announced it was considering the deployment of its gravity energy storage system in Czechia, where it would be built at the decommissioned Staříč coal mine in the country's Moravian Silesian region. The mine consists of six deep sites that could potentially host the storage solution.
Our GraviStore underground gravity energy storage technology uses the force of gravity to offer some of the best characteristics of lithium batteries and pumped hydro storage. Hydrogen Storage Our H 2 FlexiStore underground hydrogen storage technology uses the geology of the earth to contain pressurised fuel gas, allowing safe, large-scale storage, close to the point of demand.
This "repairability" means gravity batteries can last as long as 50 years, says Asmae Berrada, an energy storage specialist at the International University of Rabat in Morocco.
