“…However, this storage technique requires high constructional cost and geographical locations that may be located far from the demand. , In contrast, the battery energy storage system (BESS) is flexible, can be distributed or located centrally, and is suitable for fast on/off operations. − Moreover, BESS offers considerably faster ramp rates and response times compared to many other potential energy storage technologies, and therefore, they are very suitable for peak shaving and load shifting operations. , Various types of BESS technologies are available based on the combinations of material of construction for various components and the chemistry. ,− Secondary batteries are the prime candidates for the grid-level BESS as they can be repeatedly charged and discharged. While lead acid and Li-ion batteries are two leading technologies in this area, − these technologies suffer from a low energy efficiency, poor discharge behaviors, high costs, and Coulombic overheating, affecting their large-scale commercialization for the grid-level storage , and thus motivating research on alternative battery technologies. , Electric energy storage using redox flow batteries (RFBs) has gained increased interest because of the high energy efficiency, safety, low cost, and long cycle life that these batteries offer. − Moreover, RFBs have high flexibility since energy capacity and power generation are independent for these batteries, making them very suitable for large-scale grid-level battery storage.…”
