There is no single definition for long-duration energy storage, or LDES, in the energy community. For some, it refers to storage systems that can provide at least 10 hours of stored energy. For others, it refers to storage systems that have enough stored energy to provide firm capacity to the grid.
READ MOREShort-duration storage — up to 10 hours of discharge duration at rated power before the energy capacity is depleted — accounts for approximately 93% of that storage power capacity 2. However
READ MOREThe DOE Long Duration Storage Shot defines "long duration" as ≥ 10 h of discharge, while the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) Duration Addition to electricitY Storage (DAYS) program focuses on resources capable of 10–100 h duration.
