[Tagging] Power Storage Proposal (RFC)

[Lukas Richert]

As type seems to be used for the tags 'latent_heat', 'compressed_air'and 
the like, perhaps the word medium (def: substance regarded as the means 
of transmission) would be more descriptive? I'm not sure if it would 
necessarily fit for battery however and don't have any objection to type 
per se
