Sep 3, 2022 - How gravity batteries could change the world



It may shock you, but on an industrial scale, electricity is rarely generated in reserve. If fuel or water power is used to generate energy, then the process can be regulated and not generate excess electricity. But there is a problem with renewable energy sources. You can`t tell the sun "to shine later" and the wind "to blow in the evening".  How to save renewable energy and give it to consumers during peak hours? Scientists are working on various options. We have already discussed one of them – sand batteries. The alternative is gravity batteries. How long can they work and how much electricity can they give out? And most importantly, can they change the world of renewable energy?
