Storing wind-generated energy as gravitational potential energy?
Not so great with wind-generated energy is the fact that you need a
battery bank, and batteries are expensive. So why not store the energy as gravitational potential energy? E.g. make the generated energy lift a large weight, controlled in such a way that it falls when you need it to, yielding just the amount of electrical power you need? ?? Parts would need replacing far less often than batteries. John |
