Mountain Gravity Energy Storage. Mountain gravity energy storage involves storing energy in the form of potential energy in a mountain or a hill by pumping water to a higher elevation during periods of low electricity demand. When the electricity demand is high, the water is released, which flows down through a turbine, generating electricity
One researcher proposes using a scheme called a Mountain Gravity Energy Storage (MGES) as a solution. The system is very flexible, says Hunt, because you can easily alter the speed of the cables, increase the load, or change the number of vessels to meet varying energy demands.
