[Key Lecture Content]
As the introduction of variable renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power progresses, the importance of energy storage technologies necessary for leveling and utilizing these sources is increasing. In particular, the development of long-duration energy storage systems (LDES) that can provide continuous electrical output for approximately 8 to 10 hours or more is considered key to expanding the future adoption of renewable energy.
In Japan, the 7th Basic Energy Plan, which was approved by the Cabinet in February 2025, clearly states the goal of introducing LDES. Additionally, LDES is expected to be included in the bidding targets for long-term decarbonized power source auctions starting this fiscal year, making 2025 a pivotal year for LDES in Japan.
In this lecture, we will discuss the importance and background of LDES, provide an overview of the technology, and introduce specific development trends and case studies both domestically and internationally.
