Hub storage
plant for storing and feeding back electrical energy and for network load adjustment in a
power grid (9) of a
power grid network or a self-sufficient power supply
system connected to the hub storage
plant, wherein the hub storage
plant comprises a plurality of individually controllable hub modules (4) and a central control and regulation unit (5) connected to the
power grid (9), wherein each of the hub modules (4) has: - a cable
winch (4.1) with at least one
winch cable (4.3) and with a
winch motor designed as an
electric motor, which can be operated in motor and generator mode, - a
lifting weight (4.2) suspended from the winch cable (4.3) for storing energy in the form of
potential energy of the
lifting weight (4.2) by lifting the
lifting weight (4.2) by means of the cable winch (4.1) and for using the stored
potential energy by lowering the lifting weight (4.2) by means of the cable winch (4.1), - a guide
system for guiding the lifting weight (4.2) when raising or lowering the lifting weight (4.2), and - an
electronic unit for controlling the winch motor and for power conversion, wherein the
electronics unit and the winch motor of the cable winch (4.1) of each of the lifting modules (4) are each connected to the central control and regulation unit (5) via power lines (11) and via data and control lines (12), and wherein the lifting storage unit is designed to convert electrical energy from the power grid (9) into
potential energy of the lifting weights (4.2) by means of the central control and regulation unit (5) and to convert the stored potential energy of the lifting weights (4.2) back into electrical energy by means of individually controlled lowering of the lifting weights (4.2), characterized in that - the cable winch (4.1) of each of the lifting modules (4) is a double cable winch arranged on the floor of the respective lifting module (4) and having two of the winch cables (4.3), wherein the two winch cables (4.3) are wound in parallel single-layer windings on the double cable winch, - the lifting weight (4.2) of the respective lifting module (4) is suspended from the two winch cables (4.3) which are attached to two spaced-apart suspension points on the lifting weight (4.2), and - the guide
system of each of the lifting modules (4) designed to guide the lifting weight (4.2) comprises the two winch cables (4.3) and, for each of the two winch cables (4.3), a cable guide which deflects the respective winch cable (4.3) on the ceiling side in the lifting module (4), wherein the respective cable guide for deflecting the respective winch cable (4.3) has a first deflection
pulley (4.4) in the form of a fixed cable
pulley arranged on the ceiling side in the respective lifting module (4), wherein the winch cable (4.3) forms a first cable section between the cable winch (4.1) and the first deflection
pulley (4.4) and a counter-rotating second cable section between the first deflection pulley (4.4) and the suspension point on the lifting weight (4.2).
