Potential of different forms of gravity energy storage

Energy storage [7] represents a primary method for mitigating the intermittent impact of renewable energy. By dispatching stored energy to meet demand, a balance between supply and demand can be achieved. This involves storing energy during periods of reduced grid demand and releasing it during periods of increased demand [8].The integration of energy
