Credit: PixabayA gravity battery generates electricity by releasing a heavy load, converting potential energy into power when grid demand is high. When surplus energy is available, the system lifts the load back up for future use.A common example is pumped-storage hydroelectric systems, where water flows downhill to generate power and is pumped back up...
