A battery energy storage system (BESS), battery storage power station, battery energy grid storage (BEGS) or battery grid storage is a type of technology that uses a group of in the grid to store. Battery storage is the fastest responding on , and it is used to stabilise those grids, as battery storage can transition from standby to full power in u.

Grid energy storage, also known as large-scale energy storage, is a set of technologies connected to the that for later use. These systems help balance supply and demand by storing excess electricity from such as and inflexible sources like , releasing it when needed.

An energy transition (or energy system transformation) is a major structural change to energy supply and consumption in an energy system. Historic approaches to past energy transitions are shaped by two main discourses. It was popularised by in his 1977 Address on the Nation on Energy, calling to "look back into history to understand our energy problem.

Energy from a source such as sunlight is used to lift a mass such as water upward against the force of gravity, giving it potential energy. The stored potential energy is later converted to electricity that is added to the power grid, even when the original energy source is not available. An old and simple application is the driven by a weight, which at 1 kg and 1 m travel can store nearly 10 newton-meters [Nm], joules [J] or watt-seconds [Ws], thus 1/3600 of a watt-hour [Wh], while a typical 18650 cell can hold about 7 Wh, thus 2500 times. Gravity batteries can have different designs and structures, but all gravity batteries use the same properties of physics to generate energy.

Key figures for battery storage systems provide important information about the technical properties of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). A distinction is also made between energy conversion efficiency and round-trip efficiency. According to a common industry standard, a BESS is considered to have reached the end of its service life when its actual charging capacity falls below 80%.
