Stationary storage additions should reach another record, at 57 gigawatts (136 gigawatt-hours) in 2024, up 40% relative to 2023 in gigawatt terms. We expect stationary storage project durations to grow as use-cases evolve to deliver more energy, and more homes to add batteries to their new solar installations.
The amount of time storage can discharge at its power capacity before exhausting its battery energy storage capacity. For example, a battery with 1MW of power capacity and 6MWh of usable energy capacity will have a storage duration of six hours.
Long duration energy storage is loosely defined, yet will be essential to the reliability of our future grid. While energy storage technologies are often defined in terms of duration (i.e., a four-hour battery), a system''s duration varies at the rate at which it is discharged. A system rated at 1 MW/4 MWh, for example, may only last for
