About this Training Course
While current battery energy storage systems (BESS) are now firmly established as a mainstream solution to many power system balancing requirements, they run into limitations where larger amounts of energy need to be stored, for longer.
This 3-day course is designed to provide business people with a comprehensive picture of how other energy storage solutions will coexist and compete with current BESS solutions, particularly as power systems continue to evolve towards cleaner, more renewables-oriented supply mixes. The course will cover where and why energy storage can be considered ‘long’ and how extended energy storage requirements open up the market opportunity for a whole variety of alternative technological solutions.
While providing explanations of how these alternatives work, this course does so in a manner which is easily accessible and relevant to non-technical job functions, including a variety of commercial and business-focused roles from market analysis and business development to finance, policy and sales. Crucially in this respect, the course also evaluates and compares different potential LDES solutions not just from a technological standpoint but also by discussing pros and cons, barriers and risks, through consideration of practical deployment, economic structure and other project-relevant characteristics. In this respect, it will give technology developers a much more rounded and market-focused context in which to understand and develop their products.
Upon completion of this course, the participants will be able to:
- Understand why long duration energy storage (LDES) will be an inevitable market opportunity in many power systems
- Review the current status of the wide variety of storage technologies, including their pros and cons, going beyond just current battery systems
- Analyse and discuss the different characteristics of competing energy storage systems, including economic, deployment, supply chain and other key business-case factors
- Quantify cost structure and economic comparisons using LCOS (levelized cost of storage) calculations and an online tool using real renewable energy data
- Gain an understanding of the various factors which will allow you to better evaluate the role of LDES in your own particular electricity and energy system
- Establish a clear picture of the competitive market for LDES, including energy system needs, policy approaches and alternative power system balancing solutions
The course is intended for:
- Project developers and planners assessing long-duration energy storage opportunities.
- Engineers and technical specialists working on batteries, non-battery storage, or system integration.
- Operations and asset managers evaluating lifecycle costs, scalability, supply chains, and deployment risks.
- Policymakers and regulators shaping incentives, market design, and infrastructure frameworks.
- Market and strategy analysts comparing LDES with alternatives like peaking plants, CCS, and interconnection.
- Consultants and advisors supporting projects in storage, hydrogen, thermal systems, or decarbonisation pathways.
- Basic
- Intermediate
The course combines clear expert-led explanations with real-world case studies, project reviews, and comparative analyses of technologies. Participants will engage with quantitative exercises, including cost and economics modelling, to apply concepts directly to practical scenarios. Interactive discussions throughout ensure insights are connected to current and emerging market realities.
Your expert course faculty is an internationally renowned, fully-independent energy communicator and business educator who has been working in evolving energy and power systems analysis for over twenty years. He has a particular focus on the commercial opportunities and risks created by transitioning energy systems towards cleaner energy supply.
In addition to his independent analysis, consulting and advisory work, he has trained in over thirty countries across five continents on a variety of energy system topics – including renewable power, energy storage, grid systems, electrification, clean fuels and energy security.

LDES refers to energy storage technologies capable of storing and discharging energy for many hours or even days — beyond the typical 2–4 hour range of lithium-ion batteries. LDES is essential as power systems integrate higher shares of wind and solar, helping balance supply and demand during periods of low renewable output. It improves grid reliability, reduces curtailment, and supports decarbonization of power markets by enabling firm, dispatchable clean energy.
While lithium-ion batteries dominate short-duration applications, they face technical and economic limits for long-duration use due to cost, cycle life, and resource constraints. LDES technologies — such as pumped hydro, compressed air, flow batteries, thermal storage, and power-to-fuel systems — offer longer discharge times, lower lifetime cost per MWh stored, and potential seasonal energy shifting. They complement BESS rather than replace it.
LDES covers a diverse set of technologies, including pumped hydropower, compressed or liquid air energy storage, flow batteries such as vanadium and zinc-based chemistries, metal-air batteries and other emerging electrochemical options, thermal energy storage systems that convert power to heat or combined heat and power, and power-to-fuel approaches where electricity is stored as hydrogen, ammonia, or synthetic fuels for later conversion back to power. Each technology has its own efficiency, cost profile, and site requirements.
The most common metric is Levelized Cost of Storage (LCOS), which accounts for capital costs, efficiency losses, O&M costs, and lifetime throughput. LCOS allows comparison between technologies on a $/MWh basis. Analysts also consider deployment speed, supply chain constraints, and real-world system benefits (like avoided curtailment or capacity deferral) to build a full business case beyond LCOS.
Risks include technology readiness and performance uncertainty, high upfront capital costs, long development timelines, and competition with alternatives like peaking plants, interconnection, or CCS-equipped generation. Policy and market design also play a key role — inadequate capacity pricing or flexibility markets can undermine LDES economics. Mitigation strategies involve supportive regulation, clear revenue mechanisms, and staged project deployment.
The role of LDES is expected to grow as renewable penetration rises and energy security concerns increase. Falling technology costs, hybrid systems combining BESS and LDES, and new market designs rewarding flexibility will expand deployment. Policymakers are introducing support schemes, pilots, and standardization efforts to accelerate adoption. Successful projects will integrate system modeling, LCOS optimization, and diversified revenue streams.
