As the global hunger for renewable energy (RE) increases, battery energy storage ( BES ) systems are expected to become omnipresent. From the perspective of front-of-the-meter (FTM) customers like RE developers and utilities, long duration BES systems can store intermittent RE when solar, wind, tidal energies are available.
