The different types include thermal, mechanical, and chemical energy storage systems. BESS <br /> is a chemical storage system. <br /> More information: Electricit Stora s US EPA <br /> BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEMS <br /> Status: Newer, not emerging, but key component to clean energy systems <br /> The Washington State Department of Ecology studied BESS impacts alongside utility-scale wind and <br /> solar as part of programmatic EIS: linked here. <br /> Colby2828 00 Everett,VVA 98201 �: : <br />
