Battery storage is a technology that enables power system operators and utilities to store energy for later use.
Reduction of energy demand during peak times; battery energy-storage systems can be used to provide energy during peak demand periods. The ratio of power input or output under specific conditions to the mass or volume of a device, categorized as gravimetric power density (watts per kilogram) and volumetric power density (watts per litre).
BESTs are increasingly deployed, so critical challenges with respect to safety, cost, lifetime, end-of-life management and temperature adaptability need to be addressed. The rise in renewable energy utilization is increasing demand for battery energy-storage technologies (BESTs).
