Net-zero heat: Long-duration energy storage to accelerate energy
A new industry report with insights and analysis by McKinsey shows how TES, along with other forms of long-duration energy storage (LDES), can provide "clean" flexibility by storing excess energy (electrical or thermal) at times of peak supply and releasing it as heat when demand requires.
Powering the energy transition with better storage
MIT researchers have analyzed the role of long-duration energy storage technologies and found that large storage systems have the potential to lower electricity prices in a carbon-free grid by up to 40%, writes Eric Roston for Bloomberg.
Net-zero power: Long-duration energy storage for a renewable grid
As the world transitions to decarbonized energy systems, emerging long-duration energy storage technologies will be critical for supporting the widescale deployment of renewable energy sources.
Long Duration Storage Shot | Department of Energy
The Long Duration Storage Shot establishes a target to reduce the cost of grid-scale energy storage by 90% for systems that deliver 10+ hours of duration within the decade. Energy storage has the potential to accelerate full decarbonization of the electric grid.
Storage Futures | Energy Analysis | NREL
The fifth report in the series, released November 2021, describes the challenge of a single uniform definition for long-duration energy storage, or LDES, that reflects both duration and application of the stored energy.
California agency awards $26.7M for long-duration energy storage
The California Energy Commission last week approved $26.7 million in funding for three long-duration energy storage projects that will be built by Redflow, RedoxBlox and Noon Energy to serve
The design space for long-duration energy storage in
Long-duration energy storage (LDES) is a potential solution to intermittency in renewable energy generation. In this study we have evaluated the role of LDES in decarbonized electricity systems
Long-Duration Energy Storage to Support the Grid of the Future
Advancing energy storage is critical to our goals for the clean energy transition. As we add more and more sources of clean energy onto the grid, we can lower the risk of disruptions by boosting capacity in long-duration, grid-scale storage.
Long-Duration Energy Storage Demonstrations
The Long-Duration Energy Storage (LDES) Demonstrations Program will validate new energy storage technologies and enhance the capabilities of customers and communities to integrate grid storage more effectively. DOE defines LDES as storage systems capable of delivering electricity for 10 or more hours in duration. Learn more.
