Mid-duration storage such as flow batteries and PHES can shift the energy in inter-day time intervals, a service that is more suitable for grid integration of wind energy. This is due to several-day fluctuations of the wind energy, and mid-duration storage can smooth out these variations and thereby facilitate higher levels of wind energy adoption.

Learn MoreThe UK's energy system relies on the storage of fossil fuels to manage variations in supply and demand over varying timescales. As these are replaced to meet the net zero emissions target, new types of longer duration energy storage will be needed to provide secure energy supplies.
Energy storage technologies with longer durations of 10 to 100 h could enable a grid with more renewable power, if the appropriate cost structure and performance—capital costs for power and energy, round-trip efficiency, self-discharge, etc.—can be realized.
Although the majority of recent electricity storage system installations have a duration at rated power of up to ∼4 h, several trends and potential applications are identified that require electricity storage with longer durations of 10 to ∼100 h.
Long duration options (over 200 hours) could store energy over weeks, months, seasons and years.
This POSTnote focuses on sectors (such as power and heat) suited to new longer duration storage technologies rather than other sectors (such as transport) where short duration storage is used. Energy capacity (total amount of energy stored) and power (rate of discharge) are the key characteristics of energy storage technologies.
Deployment will also depend on ongoing developments in energy markets and a better understanding and communication of the risks. The Government will implement a policy on longer duration energy storage by 2024.
