This paper has investigated gravity energy storage using suspended weights as a new technology for redeveloping abandoned deep mine shafts. It has been shown how to size of the suspended weight to maximize the energy storage capacity for a mine shaft, given its physical dimensions.
The proposed technology, called Underground Gravity Energy Storage (UGES), can discharge electricity by lowering large volumes of sand into an underground mine through the mine shaft.
Using data from the United Kingdom Government Coal Authority Abandoned Mine Catalogue, it has been estimated there are 340 mine shafts that could be converted into gravity storage units with energy capacities above 1 MWh, providing 0.804 GWh of energy storage.
This research proposes a novel method to manage and exploit decommissioned underground mines called Underground Gravity Energy Storage (UGES) as a potential filler for this gap. It uses decommissioned underground mines to store energy by filling them up with sand.
Gravity Power Company introduced a GES method in 2011, as illustrated in Fig. 6 (a), which effectively repurposes abandoned mines. The operational process involves pumping excess electric energy into the deep underground using a water pump. During the lifting of the piston, energy is stored . Fig. 6.
Underground gravity energy storage methodological framework. UGES is a gravitational energy storage technology that consists of filling an underground mine with sand to generate electricity when the cost of electricity is high and then removing the sand from the mine to store energy when electricity is cheap.
