You know, as solar and wind power dominate global energy transitions, there's a burning question: how do we keep the lights on when renewables aren't generating? The answer lies in energy storage duration – the critical metric determining how long batteries can discharge at rated power. With 72% of new U.S. utility-scale storage being lithium-ion systems (typically 4-hour duration), we're sort of patching the grid rather than future-proofing it. [2024-09-03 13:56]
