The green and low-carbon transformation of the power system is accelerating, resulting in a steady increase in the proportion of newly installed renewable energy capacity each year. Wind and photovoltaic power are progressively dominating the energy mix, contributing to a growing share of electricity generation. However, this shift brings challenges. With renewable energy’s inherent volatility and intermittency, its generation often occurs out of sync with peak electricity demand periods, leading to imbalances in supply and demand. To address this, innovative solutions for flexible services such as peak shaving, frequency regulation, ramping, and inertia across different time scales are essential. Long-duration energy storage technology emerges as a key solution. With the capability to charge and discharge over extended periods—spanning days, months, and seasons—long-duration energy storage offers scalability, cost-effectiveness, durability, safety, and eco-friendliness. It plays a pivotal role in achieving electricity transfer and facilitating the long-term adjustment of the power system, making it indispensable in the transition towards a carbon-neutral future. The focus issue aims to discuss various long-duration energy storage technologies, including compressed air and carbon dioxide storage, gravitational storage, flow batteries, molten salt thermal storage, and hydrogen energy storage.
