The Debate Over Long Duration Energy Storage: 4
In a pivotal move, New South Wales (NSW), Australia, has proposed reducing the definition of long duration energy storage from 8 hours to 4 hours, sparking significant debate within the...
View DetailsWhile energy storage technologies are often defined in terms of duration (i.e., a four-hour battery), a system's duration varies at the rate at which it is discharged. A system rated at 1 MW/4 MWh, for example, may only last for four hours or fewer when discharged at its maximum power rating.
But energy storage technologies are also energy limited, which means that unlike a generation resource that can continue producing as long as it is connected to its fuel source, a storage device can only operate on its stored energy or charge and once depleted, must then recharge before providing service again.

Commercially available resources, namely existing pumped storage and compressed air energy storage technologies, have geographic constraints that will limit their ability to meet the scale of LDES needs identified in this study.
