The integration of battery storage systems in renewable energy infrastructure has garnered significant attention due to its potential to enhance energy reliability, efficiency, and sustainability. However, alongside these benefits, concerns persist regarding the safety and environmental impacts. Battery Energy Storage Systems, or BESS, help stabilize electrical grids by providing steady power flow despite fluctuations from inconsistent generation of renewable energy sources and other disruptions. However, IRENA Energy Transformation Scenario forecasts that these targets. educe our reliance on energy generated from fossil fuels. Today, ESS are found in a variety of industries and applications, including public utilities, energy companies and grid system providers, public and private transportatio f ESS can also expose us to new hazards and safety risks.
