The 2022 Cost and Performance Assessment analyzes storage system at additional 24- and 100-hour durations. In September 2021, DOE launched the Long-Duration Storage Shot which aims to reduce costs by 90% in storage systems that deliver over 10 hours of duration within one decade. The analysis of longer duration storage systems supports this effort.
In conclusion, a storage technology review was conducted by analysing several storage technologies suited for grid-scale applications, load shifting and energy arbitrage. For each technology, an overview of the leading positive and negative features was presented, and the current research challenges were outlined.
