The primary objective of this paper is to comprehensively examine the safety and environmental impacts of battery storage systems within the context of renewable energy. Firstly, safety concerns encompass a range of factors, including thermal runaway, fire hazards, and chemical leakage, which pose risks to both human life and property. Mitigation strategies such as advanced battery management systems and fire suppression technologies are critical for addressing. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are becoming increasingly important in the electrification of rural and remote locations. Mobile energy storage systems, classified as truck-mounted or towable battery storage systems, have recently been considered to enhance distribution grid resilience by providing localized support to critical loads during an outage. This review rea rms that batteries are e cient, convenient, reliable and ffi ffi easy-to-use energy storage systems (ESSs).
