The battery energy storage system (BESS) helps ease the unpredictability of electrical power output in RES facilities which is mainly dependent on climatic conditions. The integration of BESS in RES power plants boost PV penetration rates [ 6 ], thereby improving the efficiency and reliability of the generating system [ 7 ].
Battery energy storage systems (BESSs) have attracted significant attention in managing RESs [12], [13], as they provide flexibility to charge and discharge power as needed. A battery bank, working based on lead–acid (Pba), lithium-ion (Li-ion), or other technologies, is connected to the grid through a converter.
Its main product, The Tesla Megapack, is a large-scale rechargeable lithium-ion battery stationary energy storage device made by Tesla Energy, Tesla''s clean energy business. It is designed for use in battery storage power plants. Each Megapack, which was introduced in 2019, can store up to 3 megawatt-hours of power.
Energy storage will be even more important if we change our transportation system to run mainly on electricity, increasing the need for on-demand electric power. Because transportation and electricity together produce almost half of the world''s greenhouse gas emissions, cheap energy storage has a huge role to play in fighting climate change.
