Applications: Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)

Long-Duration Energy Storage LDES Technologies

Definitions of LDES vary, but are typically considered within a range of 8 hours 0.125C) to 100 hours 0.01C.

LDES encompasses a wide range of technologies including chemical, thermal, and mechanical, in addition to electrochemical (batteries)

Battery LDES deployed as of 2024 is approximately 2GW, or 1% of total global deployed BESS capacity.

Long Duration Storage ShotTM, one of DOE's Energy EarthshotsTM that aims to reduce storage costs by 90% for systems that deliver 10+ hours of continuous power

Although LDES has significant investment and promise, Li-ion accounts for over 98% of storage installed today, with a dominant position in bankability, RTE, and product offerings
