    heating is not done year around (365.25 days/year) for the majority of the world’s population.

    Hence why places which need heating year around are generally considered an edge case.

      (i edited above accidentally hit enter too soon)

      Long duration storage isn’t used year round. Charge with wind in autumn->don’t burn stuff during jan/dec or dunkelflaute isn’t an edge case, it’s about 10% of all energy and the only real use case where renewables absolutely need LDES.
