The Longer Duration Energy Storage Demonstration innovation competition aims to accelerate commercialisation of innovative longer duration energy storage projects at different technology readiness levels, through first-of-a-kind (FOAK) full-system prototypes or actual demonstrations.
The Longer Duration Energy Storage Demonstration innovation competition aims to accelerate commercialisation of innovative longer duration energy storage projects (excluding commercial solutions such as pumped hydro / lithium ion) at different technology readiness levels, through first-of-a-kind (FOAK) full-system prototypes or actual demonstrations.
Stream 2 would be for technologies currently at TRL 4/5 – aiming to demonstrate first-of-a-kind energy storage system prototypes in relevant or operational environments. This aims to build a pipeline of longer duration energy storage systems to be commercially deployed, leveraging the benefits achieved through Stream 1.
