1. Introduction

Motivation:

The major challenge now days is to store the excess energy from the renewable energy that

generated when demand is low, and reuse this energy in later time or in the high demand
times.

3. Review of Literature

Batteries have been used a long time ago. Earthen containers were used as galvanic cells dating
from 250 BC have been found in Baghdad (Iraq). Alessandro Volta is the first person in the modern
times to build an actual battery in year 1800, then Mr. Michael Faraday derived the laws of

Battery Energy Storage System BESS


electrochemistry based on Volta’s work.
