[0002] Most existing gravity energy storage experimental systems are based on a lifting mechanical structure, and use a traditional rotary motor combined with gears, belts or hydraulic systems to achieve the vertical lifting of a mass block. The structural design of these systems is often relatively complex, including multiple mechanical conversion links, such as gearboxes and pulley systems, which work together to convert rotary motion into linear motion. And a large amount of energy loss will be brought in the multi-steps involved in this energy conversion, affecting the overall energy efficiency of the system. At the same time, due to the influence of mechanical delay and system inertia, the response speed of the model and the real-time performance of control are greatly limited. In addition, due to the mechanical structure transmission system involving a variety of complex mechanical components, the maintenance work requirements are relatively high, affecting the long-term sustainability of the system.

After detecting the mass block, the startup stage is carried out.

[0010] Startup stage: Before startup, the system automatically preheats and gradually accelerates the front linear motor and the rear linear motor to the operating speed according to the sensor data and preset parameters;
