It may be prudent to "rethink" the definition of energy storage in terms of the services that a device (or set of devices) can provide instead. For instance, a combination of flexible generation and flexible loads may be capable of providing exactly the same services as energy storage (e.g., as a form of synthetic energy storage).

A battery energy storage system (BESS) is an electrochemical device that charges (or collects energy) from the grid or a power plant and then discharges that energy at a later time to provide electricity or other grid services when needed.
