Abstract
An energy storage and delivery system includes an elevator cage assembly operable to move blocks from a lower elevation to a higher elevation of a frame to store energy and operable to move blocks from the higher elevation to the lower elevation of the frame (e.g., by gravity) to generate electricity. The elevator cage assembly is operable to center the block relative to an elevator cage of the elevator cage assembly. The system includes a trolley on top of the frame that is operatively coupled to the elevator cage assembly by one or more cables. The trolley is operable to move to an extended position to lift the elevator cage assembly to lift a block off a row and to move to a compact position to lower the elevator cage assembly to lower a block onto a row.
