Abstract: 

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) have emerged as a critical component in modern electrical grids. They provide a wide range of services including frequency regulation, peak shaving, renewable energy integration, and grid stabilization. With increasing renewable energy penetration, the role of BESS becomes essential to mitigate the intermittent nature of solar and wind power. This paper explores the types, functions, and recent advancements in BESS technology while highlighting its implementation in the Indian energy sector. Key challenges such as cost, lifecycle, and environmental concerns are also addressed, along with potential solutions and policy initiatives.
