But for energy storage technology, the discharge time will be longer for long term energy management. Besides, storage duration refers to the period that energy can be stored in the storage device, which will be mainly determined by the self-discharge characteristics of EST. According to the basic information of ESTs in the Table 2, the characteristics of different ESTs
