3.1. Energy storage capacity. To analyse the energy storage capacity, the potential energy of the piston can be stated as (1) E = mgh, where m is the mass in kg, g is the gravitational constant (9.81 m/s 2) and h is the height. Converting between Joule (J) and Watt-hour (Wh) is done as in (2). (2) 1 kWh = 3.6 × 10 6 J.

It is shown that the LCOS decreases up to 28.8% when decreasing the discount rate from 8% to 6%. Whereas a discount rate of 4% results in a decrease of up to 47.5% reduction in the LCOS of the investigated systems. For example, The LCOS for Gravity Storage would fall from 111 US$/MWh to 87 and 66 US$/MWh.
