AI Overview
ESS and BESS are both energy storage systems, but BESS is a specific type of ESS. ESS, or Energy Storage System, is a broad term for any system that stores energy for later use. BESS, or Battery Energy Storage System, is a specific type of ESS that uses batteries to store energy.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
ESS (Energy Storage System):
This is a general term encompassing various technologies for storing energy. These technologies can include electrochemical (batteries, fuel cells), electromagnetic (inductors, superconducting magnets), thermal (latent heat), mechanical (compressed air, flywheels), and hydraulic (pumped hydro storage).
BESS (Battery Energy Storage System):
This is a specific type of ESS that uses batteries as the storage medium. These batteries can be lithium-ion, lead-acid, or other types, and they convert electrical energy into chemical energy for storage and back again.
