Importance of Long-Duration Energy Storage Systems (LDES)

As the integration of variable renewable energy sources like solar and wind power accelerates, the need for energy storage technologies has become increasingly vital. LDES, which can provide continuous electrical output for 8-10 hours or more, is seen as the key to expanding the adoption of renewable resources in future energy systems.

In Japan, the emphasis on LDES was formalized in the Seventh Strategic Energy Plan, which was approved by the cabinet in February 2025. This landmark decision indicates the country's commitment to integrating LDES solutions in the energy sector. Furthermore, with LDES set to be part of the long-term decarbonization power source auction starting this fiscal year, the year 2025 is anticipated to mark the inaugural year for LDES in Japan.

Key Topics of Discussion

During the seminar, Taro Kawamura will delve into various topics, highlighting:
1. Status of Renewable Energy Adoption: An overview of how renewable energy sources are being integrated into the energy mix.
2. Energy Storage Technologies: An introduction to what energy storage technologies are and their crucial roles.
3. Types of Energy Storage Technologies: A detailed classification of various energy storage technologies available.
4. Significance of LDES: The importance of long-duration energy storage and relevant policies in different countries.
5. Various LDES Technologies: A review of the different technologies developed to achieve long-duration energy storage.
6. Development Trends and Case Studies: Insights into the ongoing developments and practical implementations of LDES technologies, along with future prospects.
7. Q&A Session and Networking: An interactive session allowing participants to engage directly with the speaker.
