Long-duration energy storage beats the challenge of week-long wind-power lulls (IMAGE)
Caption
Changes in the optimal portfolio of power generation due to new energy storage. It demonstrates that long-duration storage facilitates more efficient investment in low-carbon technologies (e.g. wind) and reduces the need for firm but more expensive technologies such as nuclear and hydrogen for power. The storage also helps with providing firm capacity displacing traditional mid-merit and peaking capacity.
