To gain widespread acceptance, LDES technologies must demonstrate superior safety and reliability compared to competing options like lithium-ion batteries. Therefore, it is crucial to conduct thorough testing and evaluation of critical aspects of LDES, spanning from individual cells to complete systems. Our platform is strategically designed to enhance the safety and reliability of LDES across all levels, from cell to system. Moreover, this exercise also enables the quantification and recognition of the inherent safety and reliability value of LDES systems in comparison to lithium-ion batteries. These aspects are often overlooked in benchmarking and technology selection processes like levelized cost of storage [LCOS].
