Gravity Power

Gravity Power is a privately-held company developing a novel grid-scale energy storage system for global commercialization called the Gravity Power Module (GPM). Based on the proven principles of pumped storage hydropower (PSH) ' the only proven and the dominant grid-scale energy storage technology ' GPM technology circumvents the traditional PSH difficulties associated with siting, negative environmental impact, huge land demands, permitting, long-lead times and the very large investment required. GPMs can be sited where ancillary services and peaking power are required, making them valuable strategic assets for renewable power providers and utilities. GPMs provide a more economical, cleaner alternative to the vast growing worldwide need for new conventional peaking power plants.dynamics (CFD), coupled with vastly improved computer capability, allows for different approach: CFD ' based computer-aided design.
