    Hello;
    I am new to LEAP and I am trying to decide this is the right package for simulating the energy storage mix required to reach Net-Zero for a country energy system.
    Ideally I would like to setup different energy storage systems for daily and seasonal storage maybe including power to X (i.e flywheels for balancing frequency, batteries, pumped hydro storage, CAES or hydrogen electrolysis) but from the few tutorials I have seen I am not sure LEAP offers that technology flexibility it seems just calculates storage as a bulk

    Maybe some of the knowledgeable users can help me shedding some light.

    You can specify different storage processes with different technical characteristics and costs reflecting for examples pump storage vs batteries vs CAES.
