Solid gravity energy storage technology has excellent potential for development because of its large energy storage capacity, is hardly restricted by geographical conditions, and low cost. SGES is one of the ideal alternatives for wind power and photovoltaic energy storage in areas lacking PHES construction conditions.

Abstract. Large-scale energy storage technology is crucial to maintaining a high-proportion renewable energy power system stability and addressing the energy crisis and environmental problems. Solid gravity energy storage technology (SGES) is a promising mechanical energy storage technology suitable for large-scale applications.
On paper, MGES carries several benefits. For instance, unlike pumped hydro-storage plants – which tend to be limited to height differences of approximately 1,200 metres as a result of high hydraulic pressures – MGES could extend past 5,000 metres, allowing for greater long-term storage. "This could certainly benefit mountainous regions
