The depth of the shaft ranges from 1500m for disused mineshafts to 150m for purpose-built shafts. The company claims the Gravitricity energy storage system can offer a 50-year design life and a round trip efficiency in the range of 80-90%. It is also believed to offer a cost-effective energy storage solution compared to lithium batteries.
The Gravitricity demonstrator energy storage system will be an above-ground structure to be installed at the Port of Leith in Edinburg, Scotland, UK. Gravitricity entered into a land lease agreement with Forth Ports, the operator of Port of Leith, in May 2020, to build the demonstrator on an industrial site at the Leith port.
Gravitricity is piloting a 250kW energy storage demonstrator project based on this technology in Edinburg with the start of trial operations and grid-connection expected in 2021. The cost of Gravitricity’s 250kW energy storage demonstrator is estimated to be approximately £1m ($1.25m).
As the world generates more electricity from renewable energy sources, there is growing demand for technologies which can store excess energy produced and release it on demand. Gravitricity develops innovative, long duration underground storage technologies that deliver flexible, low-cost solutions for energy storage.
The novel energy storage system is based on the principle of raising and lowering a heavyweight to store and release electrical power. It is believed that the technology if commercialised, will enable the storage of intermittent renewable energy, grid stabilisation, and rapid frequency response.
If the world is to reach net-zero, it needs an energy storage system that can be situated almost anywhere, and at scale. Gravity batteries work in a similar way to pumped hydro, which involves funnelling water uphill before releasing it through turbines to generate energy (Credit: Getty Images)
