Research progress and prospect of gravity energy storage technology
With the increasing proportion of renewable energy
the power grid is facing intermittent and fluctuating challenges
and large-scale long-term energy storage technology is urgently needed. As a mature technology
pumped storage is limited by geographical conditions
but its information and intelligent transformation provides an important reference for the development of new productivity. Gravity energy storage technology has become a research hotspot because of its advantages of flexible site selection
high efficiency and environmental friendliness. In this paper
the principle and development status of vertical and sloping gravity energy storage technologies are systematically analyzed
and the key issues such as weight control
grid-connected technology and system efficiency are discussed by integrating them into the informatization practice of pumped storage projects. It is pointed out that gravity energy storage technology needs to make breakthroughs in heavy-weight transmission
cluster control and material research and development
and informationization and intelligence will be the important development direction in the future. The engineering management and control experience of pumped storage can provide reference for it.
