FAQS 4

What is a battery's average duration?

A battery's average duration is the amount of time a battery can contribute electricity at its nameplate power capacity until it runs out. Batteries used for electricity load shifting have relatively long durations. We calculate a battery’s duration by using the ratio of energy capacity (measured in megawatthours [MWh]) to power capacity (in MW).

How long does a battery energy storage system last?

Let’s break it down: Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS): Lithium-ion BESS typically have a duration of 1–4 hours. This means they can provide energy services at their maximum power capacity for that timeframe. Pumped Hydro Storage: In contrast, technologies like pumped hydro can store energy for up to 10 hours.

What is the future of battery storage?

Competing long-duration storage technologies, such as flow batteries and other metal-air batteries, have also attracted billions in investment and government support. Utilities started adding batteries to the US electrical grid dramatically in 2021. Source: US Energy Information Administration.

What is energy storage duration?

When we talk about energy storage duration, we’re referring to the time it takes to charge or discharge a unit at maximum power. Let’s break it down: Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS): Lithium-ion BESS typically have a duration of 1–4 hours. This means they can provide energy services at their maximum power capacity for that timeframe.
