Problems and priorities of the introduction of battery energy storage system in the Republic of Armenia

Battery Energy Storage System have been recognized as one of the most efficient ways to enhance the energy efficiency and sustainability, and have received a growing attention in recent years Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) systems have been increasingly recognized as one of the most effective solutions to enhance energy efficiency, improve grid flexibility, and support sustainable development goals. By enabling the storage of thermal energy during periods of low electricity demand or low-cost generation—typically off-peak hours—BESS allow that energy to be utilized during peak demand periods, when energy is both more expensive and carbon-intensive. Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is the storage of thermal energy for later reuse. Other sources of thermal energy for storage include heat or cold produced with heat pumps from off-peak, lower cost electric power, a practice called peak shaving; heat from combined heat and power (CHP) power plants; heat produced by renewable electrical energy that exceeds grid demand and waste heat from industrial processes. Heat storage, both seasonal and short term, is considered an important means for cheaply balancing high shares of variable renewable electricity production and integration of electricity and heating sectors in energy systems almost or completely fed by renewable energy. Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and Electricity Tariffs are closely related, especially in the context of energy cost savings, grid efficiency, and renewable integration.
