长时储能（LDES）概述：技术、材料、专案、公司和研究进展（2025-2026 年）、替代方案和市场趋势（2026-2046 年）

长时储能（LDES）对于弥补风能和太阳能发电的间歇性至关重要。它还能在停电期间与其他绿色能源方案形成互补。一些支持者认为，LDES 需要数兆美元的投资，但是否有替代方案、投资回报期以及合理的延期时间？

本报告透过提供23条详细的预测线和3条路线图（涵盖2026年至2046年）来解答这个问题。尤其重要的是，报告对2025年至2026年的研发和公司发展趋势进行了详细分析。结果表明，未来20年内，透过低排放电力系统（LDES）实现低成本绿色电力供应大约需要1兆美元，而其他替代方案，例如扩展输电和互联网络以覆盖更广泛的气候条件和时间段，将逐渐得到更广泛的应用。

Summary

A new report gives the reality about LDES, presenting detailed opportunities in materials and systems without the usual exaggeration. It is Zhar Research 602-page, "Long Duration Energy Storage Grand Overview: Technologies, Materials, Projects, Companies, Research Advances in 2025-6, Escape Routes, Markets 2026-2046".

Essential

Long Duration Energy Storage LDES is increasingly essential to cover intermittency of wind and solar power. It is also useful to cover down time of all other green options. Enthusiasts push for trillions of dollars to be spent on it but what is the reality after considering escape routes, paybacks and real-world delays? The new Zhar Research report has the answers with detailed forecasts in 23 lines and roadmaps in three lines for 2026-2046. Importantly, that includes a very close look at research and company advances 2025-6. The result is that over the next 20 years around one trillion dollars will be needed to deliver the lower cost of green electricity resulting from LDES while escape routes are also increasingly activated such as grids and their interconnectors widening across more weather and time zones. See 12 other groupings.

Latest in-depth information

The report has 12 chapters, 17 parameters compared, 22 SWOT appraisals, 23 forecast lines and PhD level analysis throughout, with over 104 companies covered. That includes consideration of units and companies with technologies capable of LDES but currently only used for short-duration storage.

The Executive Summary and Conclusions uses 50 pages to present 23 key conclusions, most of the SWOT appraisals and new infograms, tables and graphs for easy assimilation of the essentials including roadmaps. See all forecasts as tables and graphs with explanation.

Escape routes

Chapter 2. LDES need and design principles (30 pages) explains the context of green electricity then introduces LDES definitions, needs, toolkit, metrics and more. Chapter 3. LDES escape routes (13 pages) presents the large number of escape routes, deliberate and otherwise, that are arriving to reduce the need for LDES by reducing the need for electricity, reducing the intermittency of green production of electricity and permitting us to viably live with intermittency. Together, they may later reduce demand for the band aid of LDES by at least 50%, something largely ignored by suppliers and their trade association.

Latest technology thoroughly examined

Technology chapters then follow, each with new parameter tables, SWOT appraisals and how research advances 2025-6 change the situation. The authors find that Pumped Hydro is the gold standard of LDES on a host of criteria and that it has much further to go including in forms called Advanced Pumped Hydro. These are covered in Chapter 4. Pumped Hydro: conventional PHES (30 pages) and Chapter 5. Advanced Pumped Hydro APHES with 42 pages covering many seawater forms, plus using loaded heavier water on mere hills and other options. Some make pumped hydro useful for large microgrids such as AI datacenters and flat terrain using old mines and underground sprung rock. One conclusion is that APHES widens the scope of PHES rather than competing with it.

Chapter 6. Compressed Air CAES ( 64 pages) shows how this option can have lower capital expenditure that PHES by using existing salt caverns and may approach the Levelised Cost of Storage LCOS of PHES and be located where PHES is not practicable. The activities of 12 companies, various regions, technology options and many latest research advances are appraised.

Chapter 7. Redox Flow Batteries RFB (154 pages) involve the most suppliers with 45 of them compared by many parameters. These may never have the lowest LDES LCOS but they have advantages such as economy of scale of increasing size (like PHES, APHES and few others) to follow the market trend to units with more capacity and smaller footprint being safely stackable. Indeed, they may win for microgrids if named problems are fixed. Large RFB in China used for short duration grid storage can be operated as LDES when the need arises. Understand the RFB progression from using valuable metal and incurring recycling to ones using everyday materials and some hybrids of RFB with Advanced Conventional Construction Batteries ACCB for smaller size but with some named disadvantages.

Chapter 8. Solid Gravity Energy Storage SGES (37 pages) involves lifting blocks but there is also an option using sand. The high capital cost of assembling what looks like a large array of dock cranes in a huge building can be reduced for smaller capacities when it is done in mines. Beyond China, where six monsters are being erected above ground, the chapter examines the activities of five companies across the world taking different approaches all capable of longest duration with no self-leakage or fade but some named challenges.

Chapter 9. Advanced Conventional Construction Batteries ACCB (49 pages) spans many chemistries and fortunes from bankruptcies to Form Energy iron-air batteries raising more money than anyone by promising viable 100-hour grid LDES. It is erecting several commercial facilities to prove it but there are issues for this option and others presented in this chapter. See then all compared by parameter, SWOT and latest research advances.

Chapter 10. Liquefied gas energy storage LGES: Liquid Air LAES or CO2 (44 pages) examines these options in China and by companies elsewhere gaining traction. They have economy of scaling in size but also advantages for large microgrids. They have strong competition in their sweet spot of LDES duration but they use proven subsystems. What trials are being prepared? Will LCOS be an issue? Latest research? It is all here.

Chapter 11. Thermal Energy Storage for delayed electricity ETES (23 pages) reveals the lessons from several bankruptcies and exits in this sector that is not to be confused with the mature, successful business of delayed heat. Understand a new approach in Alaska using heat pumps instead of a steam cycle and the many pros, cons and research studies.

Chapter 12. Hydrogen and Other Chemical Intermediary LDES (42 pages) explains why most agree that the best chemical intermediary for delayed electricity should be hydrogen. However, it is the smallest molecule, leaking easily and, indirectly, it is a potent greenhouse gas. Full cycle efficiency for LDES is poor. It attracts as a possibility in existing salt caverns for extremely high capacity and longest duration but why no major trials? What about two projects with above ground tanks and the work in China with hydrogen storage not offering LDES as a priority?
