Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a system for electric energy storage. The system includes at least one energy cell. The energy cell has a plurality of weights, a carriage, a trolley, a belt and a main drive. The system is configured to move vertically the weights and to store the weights on either an upper portion or a lower portion of the energy cell. The system is charged or discharged by moving the weights from the lower portion to the upper portion or from the upper portion to the lower portion. The present disclosure also provides for a method for electric energy storage.
Claims16
An industrial system for electric energy storage having a top bearing frame is placed on the top of a bearing structure, the system comprising at least one energy cell wherein the energy cell comprises:
- a plurality of weights;
- a carriage configured to vertically move at least one weight of the plurality of weights and to fixedly store the weight on either an upper portion or a lower portion;
- a trolley configured to horizontally move the carriage along the top bearing frame;
- a belt having two belt tensioners, the belt is operably coupled to the carriage and the trolley;
- and
- a main drive coupled to the belt and configured to move the carriage,
- wherein the system is configured to charge by moving the at least one weight of the plurality of weights from the lower portion to the upper portion, and
- wherein the system is configured to discharge by moving the at least one weight of the plurality of weights from the upper portion to the lower portion.
An industrial system for electric energy storage having a top bearing on the top of a bearing structure, the system comprising:
- a plurality of weights;
- at least two carriages configured to vertically move at least one weight of the plurality of weights and to fixedly store the weight on either a top portion or a bottom portion;
- at least two trolleys configured to horizontally move the at least two carriages along the top bearing frame;
- a belt having two belt tensioners, the belt is operably coupled to the carriages and the trolleys;
- and
- a main drive coupled to the belt and configured to move the carriages wherein the system is configured to charge or discharge the system by moving the at least one weight of the plurality of weights from the lower portion to the upper portion or from the upper portion to the lower portion.
A method for electric energy storage comprising:
- moving vertically a plurality of weights using a carriage and fixedly storing the weights on either an upper portion or a lower portion;
- connecting a main drive of an industrial system for electric energy storage to the power grid in order for the power grid to receive or supply the electric energy, wherein
- the main drive configured to move the at least one weight of the plurality of weights to charge or discharge the industrial system,
- wherein the system is configured to charge by moving the at least one weight of the plurality of weights from the lower portion to the upper portion, and
- wherein the system is configured to discharge by moving the at least one weight of the plurality of weights from the upper portion to the lower portion.
