Batteries and Energy Storage

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are crucial for storing electrical energy for later use, primarily utilizing rechargeable batteries. They capture excess energy generated from renewable sources like solar and wind, allowing it to be released during high demand or low generation periods2. BESS functions by storing energy from various sources, including traditional power grids and renewable energy systems, helping to balance supply and demand3. These systems are pivotal for sustainable energy solutions, offering benefits such as improved grid stability and enhanced energy efficiency4. Batteries are an energy storage technology that uses chemicals to absorb and release energy on demand. Lithium-ion is the most common battery chemistry used to store electricity.
