FAQs 6

Is gravity energy storage a good investment?

The results reveal that GES has resulted in good performance metrics including IRR and NPV of project and Equity, as well as ADSCR, and LLCR. In addition, for a 1 GW power capacity and 125 MWh energy capacity system, gravity energy storage has an attractive LCOS of 202 $/MWh.

What is gravity energy storage?

Gravity energy storage (GES) technology relies on the vertical movement of heavy objects in the gravity field to store or release potential energy which can be easily coupled to electricity conversion. GES can be matched with renewable energy such as photovoltaic and wind power.

How much does gravity storage cost?

For Gravity Storage systems, the levelized cost of storage decreases as the system size increases. Based on the system cost, GES with an energy storage capacity of 1 GWh, 5 GWh, and 10 GWh has an LCOS of 202 US$/MWh, 111 US$/MWh, 92 US$/MWh, respectively. This can be explained by the fact that the system CAPEX decreases with an increased capacity.

What is gravity & how does it work?

This allows renewable energy to be used when it is needed. Gravitricity is developing a novel storage technology which offers some of the best characteristics of lithium batteries and pumped storage. Its patented technology is based on a simple principle: raising and lowering a heavy weight to store energy.

Is a project investment in energy storage a viable investment?

The project investment in all the studied energy storage systems is demonstrated viable to both project sponsors and lenders since the IRRs of the project for all systems in their last year of operation are larger than the projected WACC and the IRR of equity in their maturity year are better than the return on equity. 5. Financial analysis

What is green gravity & how does it work?

Green Gravity uses disused mines to store energy. This allows renewable energy to be used when it is needed. Gravitricity is developing a novel storage technology which offers some of the best characteristics of lithium batteries and pumped storage.
