In recent times, energy storage has been a major concern in the renewable energy sector. Traditional batteries are becoming less effective and sustainable as the world is moving towards renewable energy. Gravity battery, also known as Gravitricity is a new energy storage technology that is gaining popularity in the renewable energy sector. Gravity battery uses excess energy to hoist heavy objects, and when needed, the objects are released, generating energy. This paper highlights the need for alternative energy storage systems and the potential of gravity batteries to address the limitations of traditional batteries. This paper provides an in-depth analysis of gravity battery technology including the need analysis, problem Statement, product producers, advantages, disadvantages, and how it can replace the present batteries in power systems. The paper concludes that gravity battery technology is a promising alternative to traditional batteries and requires further research and development to accelerate its adoption in the renewable energy sector.
