Contact UsFor Gravity Storage systems, the levelized cost of storage decreases as the system size increases. Based on the system cost, GES with an energy storage capacity of 1 GWh, 5 GWh, and 10 GWh has an LCOS of 202 US$/MWh, 111 US$/MWh, 92 US$/MWh, respectively. This can be explained by the fact that the system CAPEX decreases with an increased capacity.
The results reveal that GES has resulted in good performance metrics including IRR and NPV of project and Equity, as well as ADSCR, and LLCR. In addition, for a 1 GW power capacity and 125 MWh energy capacity system, gravity energy storage has an attractive LCOS of 202 $/MWh.
To investigate the economic performance of differently sized gravity energy storage systems, a wind farm with a number of gravity energy storage units has been used. The principle of economies of scale has been applied resulting in a cost reduction for large scale systems.
The 25 MW/100 MWh EVx™ Gravity Energy Storage System (GESS) is a 4-hour duration project being built outside of Shanghai in Rudong, Jiangsu Province, China. The EVx™ is under construction directly adjacent to a wind farm and national grid.

Interest in energy storage systems has been increased with the growing penetration of variable renewable energy sources.
Life cycle cost analysis To calculate the financial feasibility of gravity energy storage project, an engineering economic analysis, known as life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) is used. It considers all revenues, costs, and savings incurred during the service life of the systems. The LCC indicators include NPV, payback period, and IRR.
