Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are arguably the most critical element in creating a resilient, flexible grid with high renewable energy penetration. Their potential contributions are wide-ranging and significant, but not always well understood, even among grid operators. BESS installations are typically associated with renewable generation sources. They integrate well with various generation and demand scenarios, from the single domestic home through community and industrial setups to whole-grid stabilization.
