Room could disable the wind turbines after they discovered how the seriousness to be checked infinite energy. There is no doubt that we are in the era of renewable energy sources. Oil is an energy source that has shown us its value for decades, but is contaminated and scarce, so governments and companies all over the world work to get it out of blood circulation.
However, this is not that simple, because, although it contributes to climate change, it has an important quality for the advantage: it can be stored. That is precisely the problem with which the world is found when recording renewable energy sources. Saving the energy they produce is a challenge for science.
Under these circumstances it is clear that long -term energy storage (LTEs) is crucial, but treating doubts the method to achieve this. Currently there are various technologies that offer storage, such as electric batteries or hydrogen production, but for some reason they are not yet taken seriously on a large scale.
There is a way to control gravity to receive infinite energy
Javier Sánchez Prieto, academic director of the University Master in Renewable Energies of Unir – International University of La Rioja (Logroño, Spain), raised in an article in The conversation The use of gravity storage. Take advantage of the energy Potential that an object has to be at a certain height.
There is the possibility to lower its height by dropping it and retrieving it energy potential in process. However, this not only depends on the height at which the object is located, but also on the masses. In this way a large body or high density material will have a larger potential energy storage capacity.
While experts from all over the world student storage energy Galicia has decided through gravity and other variants to appreciate his potential in the production of renewable energy sources.
Examples of companies that use gravity energy storage
Energy It is a company that specializes in renewable energy sources with a range of technologies for the storage of energy Long -term. Are ENERGY TACE EVX Use a complex chemical process to eliminate and lower large concrete blocks electrical energy.
The installation was launched in 2020 EV1CDU in SwissA tower of 120 meters and 42 meters in diameter with 5000 blocks of 35 tons, an average storage capacity of 35 MWh and a global efficiency of 90%.
By 2023 he joined the electricity grid of Rudong (China) One of his projects, the EVX installation. It became the first unit on a commercial scale in the world to use this gravity storage technology, with a capacity of 100 MWh. Moreover, he works on other similar units on the eastern land, one of them from 200 MWh.
China binds to the storage of gravity energy
In April 2023, China Tianying (CNY) started to build the first storage system project for Gravity Energy (Gens) from the city of Zhangye. When the project is specified, we are facing a structure of 175 meters with a maximum power of 17 MW and a maximum energy capacity of 68 MWh.
This project uses the surplus electricity that is generated by the energy structures of the province Goose To increase composite blocks or “mobile masses” in the “load” periods. In a maximum electrical demand, the gravity system will reduce the compound blocks, producing electricity to meet the energy requirements in the area for four hours or more.
After discovering this way to save energy, Spain was able to forget the wind turbines
Gravity Storage technology finds no location restrictions, so it can touch very high possibilities and write down high efficiency. For these attributes, it is shown before the world as a safe and long -term alternative that can even compete in costs with other technologies (such as traditional wind turbines).
