An ESS is designed to store electrical energy for later use.

FESS is not a common type of ESS due to its limited energy storage capacity and high cost.

BESS is the most widely used type of ESS due to its high energy density, fast response time, and relatively low cost.

ESS can help to reduce electricity prices by storing excess energy during periods of low demand and releasing it during periods of high demand.

ESS is still a relatively new technology, and as such, it is associated with a number of challenges, including high cost, low efficiency, and short lifespan.

While ESS can be used to charge electric vehicles, it is not a primary application.

Lithium-ion batteries are the most common type of battery used in BESS due to their high energy density, long lifespan, and fast charging time.

The round-trip efficiency of a typical BESS is typically in the range of 80-90%.

The lifespan of a typical BESS is typically in the range of 10-15 years.

Run-of-the-river hydroelectricity is not a type of PHSS.

The typical round-trip efficiency of a PHSS is typically in the range of 90-95%.

The lifespan of a typical PHSS is typically in the range of 50-100 years.

Hydropower CAESS is not a type of CAESS.

The typical round-trip efficiency of a CAESS is typically in the range of 70-80%.

The lifespan of a typical CAESS is typically in the range of 20-30 years.
