The utilization of advanced modeling tools is essential in the establishment of the long duration energy storage [LDES] market, as they empower a data-driven approach to business development, resulting in a more knowledgeable decision-making process. However, the current lack of standardized and widely accessible advanced modeling tools poses a significant challenge in achieving widespread adoption of LDES technologies and inhibits the growth of the market.

Without a common framework and accessible tools, stakeholders face difficulties in accurately assessing the economic viability, technical feasibility, and optimal deployment strategies for LDES systems. Therefore, there is a pressing need to develop and promote standardized, user-friendly advanced modeling tools specifically designed for LDES applications, enabling stakeholders to effectively evaluate and implement long duration energy storage solutions with confidence.
