The type of BESS application needs to be aligned with the right BESS technology such as lead-acid, lithium-ion , sodium-sulphur and vanadium redox, to maximise value. The technologies have their own strengths, weaknesses and performance characteristics, including depth of discharge, power output, weight, energy density, response time, safety and thermal performance. Evaluation is usually done on a case-by-case basis.
