Conceptual Design of Gravity Battery and Gravity Electric Station
Journal: Journal of Building Technology DOI: 10.32629/jbt.v6i2.2745
Abstract
The article aims to describe the technical criteria for the conceptual design of a gravity-based battery or accumulator solution. It introduces a technology derived from the 1380 mm descent of a four-story reinforced concrete building, managed by the author. The methodology follows the author's doctoral thesis and is applied in his professional practice and scientific-technical articles. The description outlines the design criteria for a 100 kWh per discharge cycle solution, addressing the challenge of storing electrical energy using mechanical means while minimizing the carbon footprint, all achieved with European technology and raw materials. The industrial development of this solution requires significant investment beyond the author's reach, thus the article serves to make the concept known to the scientific and technical community, with wishes for success to prior developments by companies like Gravitricity and Energy Vault.
