@article{Sterjova_Minovski_Sarac_2021, title={BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEMS AND TECHNOLOGIES: A REVIEW}, volume={1}, url={https://js.ugd.edu.mk/index.php/etima/article/view/4497}, abstractNote={<p><strong>Abstract</strong><br>With the fickle nature of the weather conditions upon which renewable energy sources mostly depend,<br>as well as the changing consumer demand profile, the need for balance in the electric power system between<br>supply and demand through a reliable energy storage system becomes essential. Besides most of the energy<br>storage system technologies are not commercially viable at present due to some of their limitations, the battery<br>energy storage system (BESS) carries out an increased role and frequency in energy markets and continuous<br>improvements that serve a variety of energy optimization purposes, improving the quality, reliability, and<br>affordability of electricity.<br>This topic covers and analyzes the different technologies of the battery system and their characteristics according<br>to the type of battery, their adaptation, evolution, and functionality as key to the energy transition. Flexible options<br>are necessary to overcome the overall variability between the interaction of systems and the regulation of their<br>parameters. The battery energy storage system cannot become obsolete in the coming period, but on the contrary<br>will contribute to faster realization of new energy trends, development of stationary markets, and the rise of a<br>sustainable energy future.<br><strong>Keywords</strong>: energy transformation, renewable energy, battery technologies, grid-level energy storage, energy<br>sector trends, electrochemical design, battery model</p&gt;}, number={1}, journal={ETIMA}, author={Sterjova, Marija and Minovski, Dragan and Sarac, Vasilija}, year={2021}, month={Oct.}, pages={95-104} }
