Rationale

As distributed generation systems become more widespread, so do the necessary distributed energy storage systems (DESS). In general, these systems are comprised of small, decentralized, grid-connected generators and energy storage devices that are located close to the load they serve. While power=generator is used to tag both decentralized generators as well as those located in a power plant, no such tagging exists for batteries at either location. Analogously, the tag power=battery should be created to tag energy storage devices.

Tagging

battery:type

List of possible battery:type=* values

Method	Battery Classification	Battery type	Description
mechanical	kinetic	flywheel	A flywheel works by accelerating a rotor (flywheel) to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as rotational (kinetic) energy.
	gravity		A gravity battery stores gravitational energy by using excess energy to raise a mass, which is then dropped when the energy is needed.
		PSH	Pumped-storage hydropower (PSH) stores energy in the form of gravitational potential energy of water, which is pumped from a lower elevation reservoir to a higher elevation.
electrochemical	lead-acid	FLA	Flooded lead-acid (FLA) batteries are composed of lead alloy electrodes with a sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. (Typical car battery currently)
		AGM	Absorbent glass mat (AGM) batteries differ from flooded lead–acid batteries in that the electrolyte is suspended in glass mats.
