Europe has set ambitious targets for renewables. Now, the EU must do the same for energy storage, particularly LDES, to ensure delivery of these renewables reliably and affordably.
First, our results suggest to industry and grid planners that the cost-effective duration for storage is closely tied to the grid’s generation mix. Solar-dominant grids tend to need 6-to-8-h storage while wind-dominant grids have a greater need for 10-to-20-h storage.
Alex Campbell will be speaking about the importance of long duration energy storage at Enlit Europe on 29 November at the Hydrogen & Storage hub. As Europe moves to energy systems reliant on renewables, long duration energy storage investments are key, says Alex Campbell, LDES Council.

Now, the EU must do the same for energy storage, particularly LDES, to ensure delivery of these renewables reliably and affordably. LDES projects will not only smooth energy generation and create a more reliable and resilient grid, but they will also save money and help create a more politically stable European Union.
This relationship suggests that 6-to-10-h storage is the ideal duration to support the diurnal cycles of solar power. In wind-dominant scenarios, 6-to-10-h storage is replaced by 10-to-20-h storage that appears better suited to support wind-dominant grids.
