Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are a key component of the transition to a low-carbon economy. They enable the integration of variable renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, into the grid by storing excess electricity when supply exceeds demand and releasing it when demand exceeds supply. They also provide a range of ancillary services, such as frequency regulation, voltage control and black start capability, that help maintain the stability and reliability of the grid.
