A rechargeable energy storage system or RESS is a system that stores energy for delivery of power and which is rechargeable.
Production storage systems use electric rechargeable traction batteries, electric double-layer capacitors or flywheel energy storage.
This term of art is used in US legislation related to hybrid vehicles (such as the U.S. Energy Policy Act of 2003 and the Heavy Duty Hybrid Vehicle Research, Development, and Demonstration Act of 2009), and also in ISO international standards covering electric vehicles.
Famous quotes containing the words energy, storage and/or system:
“Crime is naught but misdirected energy. So long as every institution of today, economic, political, social, and moral, conspires to misdirect human energy into wrong channels; so long as most people are out of place doing the things they hate to do, living a life they loathe to live, crime will be inevitable.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
“Many of our houses, both public and private, with their almost innumerable apartments, their huge halls and their cellars for the storage of wines and other munitions of peace, appear to me extravagantly large for their inhabitants. They are so vast and magnificent that the latter seem to be only vermin which infest them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Authority is the spiritual dimension of power because it depends upon faith in a system of meaning that decrees the necessity of the hierarchical order and so provides for the unity of imperative control.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
