Long-Duration Energy Storage: The Future of Australia?

Time: 13:40 - 14:30
Date: 22 May

Synopsis

Whilst it is widely accepted that lithium batteries are the most efficient option now, to reach Australia’s renewable targets and develop the best projects, the future seems to lie in long-duration energy storage (LDES). This panel explores how long-duration can scale in the current market, and the excitement surrounding it.

  •  Long-duration: What does it look like and how is it being used (some smaller examples in Aus, e.g. 50MW 8hr storage capabilities)
  • Feasibility – how soon can LDES enter the market and what do you need to know?
  • Is it lithium, or something else? A glance at battery chemistries and what the key ones are (e.g. LTO’s)
  • What opportunity (revenue) does LDES offer in the Australian market?
