INVESTIGATION OF AN EFFECTIVE BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM FOR THE INTEGRATION OF DISTRIBUTED RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES
This study explores advancements in integrating Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) with Renewable Energy Sources (RES) to address challenges in power generation and distribution, driven by the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and diversify energy sources. Despite progress in renewable energy adoption, significant research gaps remain, particularly in determining suitable storage technologies for specific applications. The study assesses various BESS options, such as lithium-ion, sodium-sulfur, and nickel-based batteries, and identifies lithium-ion as the most efficient for large-scale RES integration. By focusing on modular, scalable BESS designs within supportive regulatory frameworks and enhanced monitoring systems, this paper provides valuable insights for improving grid resilience, stability, and flexibility, supporting the broader adoption of distributed renewable energy sources.
