AI Technical Summary
Existing slope-type gravity energy storage technology suffers from poor fluidity of the energy storage medium, high frictional losses, and low automation, resulting in low system efficiency and high equipment complexity, making it difficult to achieve large-scale application.
Using small steel balls as the energy storage medium, combined with electromagnets and hydraulic cylinders controlled by a programmable controller, the automated and orderly transfer of steel balls is realized. Through alternating electromagnetic attraction and dynamic alignment of the hydraulic lifting and receiving tank, friction loss and stacking difficulty are reduced, thus constructing an automated energy storage system.
It improves the fluidity of energy storage media and system efficiency, reduces energy loss and operation and maintenance costs, adapts to various terrains, and meets energy storage needs of different scales, realizing efficient and automated gravity energy storage.
