The usage of lithium batteries in energy storage systems involves significant safety hazards. These devices can overheat, leading to a phenomenon known as thermal runaway, which can result in fires or explosions. . Battery Energy Storage Systems, or BESS, help stabilize electrical grids by providing steady power flow despite fluctuations from inconsistent generation of renewable energy sources and other disruptions. 2. . Due to increases in demand for electric vehicles (EVs), renewable energies, and a wide range of consumer goods, the demand for energy storage batteries has increased considerably from 2000 through 2024. Environmental Impact: Lithium mining and disposal pose. .
