Hunt and his collaborators have devised a novel system to complement lithium-ion battery use for energy storage over the long run: Mountain Gravity Energy Storage, or MGES for short. Similar to hydroelectric power, MGES involves storing material at elevation to produce gravitational energy.
One researcher proposes using a scheme called a Mountain Gravity Energy Storage (MGES) as a solution. Illustration: IIASA The system is very flexible, says Hunt, because you can easily alter the speed of the cables, increase the load, or change the number of vessels to meet varying energy demands.
A team of European scientists proposes using mountains to build a new type of battery for long-term energy storage. The intermittent nature of energy sources such as solar and wind has made it difficult to incorporate them into grids, which require a steady power supply.
Conclusion This paper concludes that mountain gravitation energy storage could be a viable alternative to long-term energy storage, particularly, in isolated micro-grids or small islands demanding storage capacities lower than 20 MW.
In the near future, batteries can provide short-term storage solutions and pumped-hydro storage can provide long-term energy storage with large generation capacities. However, none of these technologies can provide long-term energy storage in grids with small demand.
However, storage capability of batteries in a yearly cycle might never become economically viable, due to the high cost of stored energy ($/MWh), and in some cases, a high rate of losses and/or self-discharge per day .
