Abstract

The transition to sustainable energy sources is integral to addressing climate change and
ensuring long-term environmental resilience. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) play a
pivotal role in this transition, by mitigating the intermittency of renewable energy sources
such as wind and solar power. However, the widespread deployment of BESS faces significant
challenges, including high implementation costs, environmental impacts, grid stability concerns
and battery lifecycle management issues. This paper investigates these challenges systematically
through a comprehensive literature review methodology, synthesising insights from peer-reviewed articles, conference proceedings and technical reports. Common themes and recurring challenges related to BESS implementation are identified and categorised, encompassing technical, economic, regulatory and environmental factors. Furthermore, the effective mitigation strategies and solutions proposed in the literature are analysed and evaluated for their feasibility and applicability. The findings underscore the importance of innovative approaches, such as second-hand battery modules, sustainable production practices, the implementation of advanced operational strategies, and predictive maintenance algorithms, in enhancing the
feasibility and efficacy of BESS integration. Additionally, policy incentives and collaborative efforts with utilities and grid operators are highlighted as crucial for promoting grid resilience and reliability. This research contributes to a nuanced understanding of the complexities inherent in
advancing sustainable energy infrastructures, and provides valuable insights for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and researchers seeking to address the challenges of BESS deployment in renewable energy utilisation systems.
