Mountain Gravity Energy Storage: A new solution for closing the gap between existing short- and long-term storage technologies Author (s): Julian David Hunt, Behnam

A new energy storage solution based on mountain gravity is found particularly for grids smaller than 20 MW. MGES is a solution for seasonal storage where there is no water for pumped-storage solutions. We show the world potential for MGES using a GIS based tool.
Conclusion This paper concludes that mountain gravitation energy storage could be a viable alternative to long-term energy storage, particularly, in isolated micro-grids or small islands demanding storage capacities lower than 20 MW.
As it can be seen the MGES plant operation focuses on storing energy for the long-term and the batteries are used to store energy for the short-term. This is convenient because the installed capacity of MGES (short-term storage) is high, however the costs for long-term energy storage is low.
This paper shows that the cost of storing energy with MGES will vary between 1 and 2 million $/MW of installed capacity and levelized cost of 50–100 $/MWh. The higher the height difference between the lower and upper storage sites, the lower the cost of the project.
As Table 2 depicts, different operational arrangements could result in energy storage cycles of a day, weeks or years. The MGES plant design and operation should focus on long-term storage cycles (monthly, yearly, seasonal) as batteries can provide short-term energy storage more reliably, cheaply and efficiently.
Based on the characteristics of gravity energy storage system, the paper presents a time division and piece wise control strategy, in which, gravity energy storage system occupies a dominant position supplemented by vanadium redox batter.
