From your first link:

They will also pull forward the economic tipping points for longer duration 8 hour to 10 hour systems needed to shore up ‘Round The Clock’ renewables use cases, which disproportionately stand to benefit.

I never understood the difference between standard systems that deliver the power over a 4 hour interval versus longer duration systems of 8 hours or more. The amount of energy delivered is the same, it is just delivered more slowly. What is the factor that makes delivering over 4 hours more cost effective than 8 hours?
