Abstract

Contemporarily, the electricity deficiency is a problem that should be faced and discussed for most countries. To solve this problem, the electricity should be used wisely. In this paper, the suitability between the Piston Solid Gravitational Energy (PSGES) and Rechargeable Battery Energy Storage (RBES) for applications in the electricity storage for both scenarios is compared. First, the development conditions, quantitative metrics including energy efficiency, energy density, response time of discharging, energy losses during the storage, duration of the storage, and levelized cost of the energy are discussed for each system. Then, quantitative metrics between these 2 systems are compared. The comparison results shows that the RBES used sodium-sulfur (NaS) has the highest competency compared with the rest systems. It has flexible discharge time, fast response time, high energy density and power density, relatively low levelized cost of the energy, and high efficiency. Thus, the RBES used NaS is the optimal solution for both scenarios.
