If discharged at a maximum power of 100MW, all the energy can be released within two hours; if discharged at 50MW, it can last for four hours. MW and MWh, like a speedometer and a mileagemeter, together define the core capabilities of energy storage systems.

The most common type of energy storage in the power grid is pumped hydropower. But the storage technologies most frequently coupled with solar power plants are electrochemical storage (batteries) with PV plants and thermal storage (fluids) with CSP plants.
