Gravity energy storage system (GES) evaluated in this study is an emerging mechanical storage device which operates in a similar manner to pumped hydro energy storage (PHES). The distinctive feature of GES from PHES is its flexible installation which doesn''t depend on specific topographic requirements.
Depending on the considered scenarios and assumptions, the levelized cost of storage of GES varies between 7.5 €ct/kWh and 15 €ct/kWh, while it is between 3.8 €ct/kWh and 7.3 €ct/kWh for gravity energy storage with wire hoisting system (GESH). The LCOS of GES and GESH were then compared to other energy storage systems.

Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by accelerating a rotor (flywheel) to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as rotational energy. When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel''s rotational speed is reduced as a consequence of the principle of conservation of energy; adding energy to the system correspondingly results in an increase in the speed of th
