Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are tools that store electrical energy. Within Canada, all energy storage projects currently under construction are BESS. Proposed and under-construction projects have a power range between 1 mW [milliwatts] and 411 mW, with an average storage capacity range of 0.5 hours to 6 hours. There are different types of batteries used for large-scale energy storage, such as lithium-ion, lead acid, redox-flow, and molten salt. 2, record 3, English, - battery%20energy%20storage%20system
