Conclusion Lift Energy Storage Technology (LEST) could be a viable alternative to long-term energy storage in high-rise buildings. LEST could be designed to store energy for long-term time scales (a week) to generate a small but constant amount of energy for a long time.
Lift Energy Storage Technology (LEST) is a gravitational-based storage solution. It stores energy by lifting wet sand containers or other high-density materials using autonomous trailer devices. The system requires empty spaces on the top and bottom of the building.
There are several ghost towns where the lifts could be used as energy storage devices through Lift Energy Storage Technology (LEST). A review of ghost cities in China can be seen in Ref. . In some cases, the investors do not rent empty apartments because they want to be flexible to sell the flat any time they get a good price.
During peak hours, elevators may constitute up to 40% of the building's electricity demand. In New York City, the estimated daily energy consumption of elevators is 1945 MWh on weekdays, with a peak demand of 138.8 MW, and 1575 MWh during a weekend, with a peak demand of 106.0 MW.
An example of the proposed arrangement is presented in Table 1. Energy is stored as potential energy by elevating storage containers with an existing lift in the building from the lower storage site to the upper storage site. Electricity is then generated by lowering the storage containers from the upper to the lower storage site.
