The review shows that pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) has reached a high maturity level as a technical system and is well covered by economic evaluation methods, whereas solid gravity energy storage (SGES) is still in an initial stage for system design and assessment.
The efficiency of the system is approximately 80% as claimed by developers (Aneke and Wang, 2016). A sketch of this technology is presented in Fig. 1. Gravity energy storage consists of a container filled with a fluid (water) and a heavy piston. The container is linked to a return pipe which allows the flow of water.
Economic analysis is performed. Gravity energy storage delivers a low LCOE. High share of intermittent renewable energy sources disrupts the reliability and the proper operation of the electric grid. Power systems are now on the starting point of a new transformation where high cost requirements have been imposed to secure the supply of energy.
