Salt River Project (SRP) and Google this week announced what the companies are calling a “first-of-its-kind” research collaboration to better understand the real-world performance of emerging non-lithium-ion long duration energy storage (LDES) technologies, hoping to accelerate the advancements needed to deploy LDES at scale.
[pdf] LDES is an emerging energy solution that can store and dispatch clean, reliable power for 10+ hours at a time, helping unlock new electricity capacity and increasing resilience for grids with a high volume of renewables, like SRP’s.
