Molten salt energy can be stored for up to a week with proper insulation, allowing for extended thermal energy storage before conversion into electricity. However, typical discharge durations for systems like MAN MOSAS range from 8 to 16 hours or more, depending on the application and the size of the storage tanks. Molten salts can be heated, cooled, and reheated daily for decades without needing to be replaced. Temperature losses in well-insulated systems are minimal, around 1 °C per day, ensuring efficient thermal energy retention.
