Design and Control of a KE (Kinetic Energy) - Compensated Gravitational Energy Storage System

Conference Papers

Abstract

A gravitational energy storage device is described where the kinetic energy to recover while braking a vertically moving mass is compensated by an auxiliary storage device based on supercapacitors. The characteristic power surge occurring by a fast decrease of the mass's velocity is absorbed by the added complementary device.
