Figure 1: Why Lithium-ion Batteries? The battery management system (BMS) is an intricate electronic set-up designed to oversee and regulate rechargeable batteries, specifically lithium-ion batteries.
Now, let's delve into how a BMS enhances the performance of lithium-ion batteries. The battery management system (BMS) maintains continuous surveillance of the battery's status, encompassing critical parameters such as voltage, current, temperature, and state of charge (SOC).
By incorporating a BMS, the performance of the battery is significantly enhanced, ensuring optimal operation and safeguarding against potential hazards that could compromise its efficiency and durability. Now, let's delve into how a BMS enhances the performance of lithium-ion batteries.
Lithium-iron-based batteries, however, can be damaged if they are changed while being below a certain temperature. So, temperature monitoring is much more common for those types of cells. Lithium-ion batteries do not require a BMS to operate. With that being said, a lithium-ion battery pack should never be used without a BMS.
Another crucial role of the BMS is battery balancing. It's crucial to maintain an even charge across all of the cells in a lithium-ion battery pack because they are made up of numerous individual cells. The BMS does this via active or passive balancing, enhancing the battery pack's general effectiveness and durability.
The BMS can stop thermal runaway and guarantee the battery's safe operation by monitoring the temperature of the battery cells and acting as needed. Battery management systems are becoming more complex as lithium-ion battery technology develops further.

However, the expansion of energy storage systems is not easy, and acceptance of them requires essential factors such as adjustments in use, price, technology (renewable), correct policies, etc. . Therefore, strategic planning and appropriate actions at the provincial, national, and local levels are vital .
As the essential systems for energy storage are heat pumps and batteries, the development and improvement of these technologies should be taken into account. However, government authorities, national governments, and local officials can contribute positively to promoting energy storage expansion through their influence.
Innovative solutions play an essential role in supporting the transition to a new energy-saving system by expanding energy storage systems. The growth and development of energy storage systems should be central to planning infrastructure, public transport, new homes, and job creation.
Here we conduct an extensive review of literature on the representation of energy storage in capacity expansion modelling. We identify challenges related to enhancing modelling capabilities to inform decarbonization policies and electricity system investments, and to improve societal outcomes throughout the clean energy transition.
Using PEST analysis, we demonstrated that governments, national officials, and people have key roles in expanding energy storage systems for renewable power integration. Figure 1 shows the framework of the methodology of this paper. It implies that a collaboration between officials and people is necessary to expand energy storage.
As a result, scientific and efficient storage expansion planning (SEP) has become a critical task in promoting the energy transition. Although numerous studies have thoroughly explored the advancements of energy storage technologies, a comprehensive and systematic review of SEP is still remains underexplored.

Significant players active in energy storage projects include: (1) Tesla, a leader in battery technology, invests significantly in storage solutions, (2) Siemens, focusing on large-scale grid storage systems, (3) NextEra Energy, which allocates resources to renewable energy storage, and (4) LG Chem, enhancing lithium-ion battery production aimed at various applications.
