However, renewable energy such as wind power and photovoltaic has significant intermittency and volatility, its power generation is closely related to natural conditions, and it is difficult to perfectly match the load demand of the power grid. This characteristic poses a serious challenge to the stable operation of the power system, making energy storage technology a key solution to balance the supply and demand contradiction and improve the resilience of the power grid. With the increasing demand for clean energy and energy security around the world, and the pressure of resource constraints (such as the shortage of rare metals such as lithium and cobalt) and rising costs faced by traditional battery energy storage technology, among many energy storage technology paths, gravity energy storage, with its unique advantages of environmental friendliness and long service life, has become a new force in the energy storage field.
[0003] The principle of gravity energy storage is to store energy by lifting heavy objects with electricity when there is excess electricity (converting electrical energy into gravitational potential energy), and to generate electricity by releasing energy through the descent of heavy objects when electricity is needed (converting potential energy into electrical energy). Energy storage blocks, which can be made from construction waste, tailings and other waste materials at low cost due to mature preparation technology, are the most common energy storage medium in gravity energy storage systems. Existing gravity energy storage solutions for energy storage blocks use different implementation methods, including "tower crane type", "cable car type", "inclined rail type", and "rail transportation type" gravity energy storage.

[0041] The driving device 30 is configured to drive the transport train 10 to run on the transport track 20. In the present application, the driving device 30 uses a motor as a power source to drive the transport train 10 to circulate in the high-level yard 70 and the low-level yard 60. The driving device 30 can be arranged in multiple ways relative to the transport train 10 and the transport track 20, for example, a main driving embodiment is that the driving device 30 is arranged on the transport train 10 and is in contact / connected with the transport track 20 through a power transmission structure to drive the transport train 10 to move relative to the transport track 20. Another passive driving embodiment is that the driving device 30 is not arranged on the transport train 10, but is arranged outside the transport train 10 and is in contact / connected with the transport train 10 through a power transmission structure to directly drive the transport train 10 to move relative to the transport track 20. The driving device 30 can be selected from the train driving devices known to those skilled in the art in the prior art. The core of the selection of the driving device 30 in the present application is the layout of the driving device 30 relative to the train / track. The driving mode of the driving device 30 and the power transmission structure of the driving device 30 itself, that is, the power transmission structure of the power source (motor), are not specifically limited, and they can adopt the existing solutions in the prior art, such as Figure 4 In an embodiment of the present application, the driving device 30 and the transport train 10 can selectively adopt a driving wheel driving mode, that is, the driving device 30 is provided with a driving wheel 31, the driving wheel 31 is kept in contact with the driven structure 11a (driving plate) of the transport train 10 through a tensioning mechanism 32 to realize friction driving. The intermediate transmission structure of the driving wheel 31 receiving the motor power can be arranged according to different working conditions, for example, the driving device structure in the applicant's prior application CN 202320067168.9 can be referred to, and the driving wheel 31 can be arranged inside the transport track 20 / transport train 10 (built-in type) as in CN 202320067168.9. In other embodiments (such as Figure 4The driving wheel 31 can also be arranged outside the transportation track 20 / transportation train 10 (external type), and the driving wheel 31 can be made of rubber, metal or other composite materials. The purpose of arranging the driving device 30 in the track-type energy storage system is to drive the transportation train 10 to run on the transportation track 20. In order to realize the circulation of the transportation train 10, in one embodiment, the driving device 30 is arranged on the uplink track 21, the high-position running track 22 and the low-position running track 24 to drive the transportation train 10 to run. The transportation train 10 can rely on gravity to run on the downlink track 23 without the need to arrange the driving device 30.

The distributed arrangement of the driving device 30 on other tracks can be similarly arranged as the uphill track 21. The driving device 30 can be arranged on the outside or inside of the transport train 10 / transport track 20. In another embodiment, the driving device can also be installed on the transport track 20. Various installation methods can be selected according to the actual layout space.

The general controller can control the multiple grabbing parts of the hoisting device to achieve the one-time synchronous grabbing of the loading and unloading according to the number of carriages or the number of energy storage heavy blocks to be grabbed or other preset modes.

When the transport train 10 stops at the straight loading and unloading section, the total controller controls the multiple clamping parts 82a corresponding to the carriages 11 of the transport train 10 to perform synchronous one-time loading or unloading along the direction perpendicular to the straight loading and unloading section, thereby realizing one-time whole-row fast loading and unloading of the shortest path of multiple carriages, solving the core pain points of existing high and low stacking yards, which cannot meet the operation continuity demand of circular transportation and has low efficiency, and providing a reliable system solution for large-scale, high-efficiency, and fast-response gravity energy storage commercialization.
