A battery energy storage system (B-ESS) can change the existing electric power grid system from production–consumption to production–storage–consumption. Electric power grids connected to renewable energy (RE) sources are vulnerable to extreme weather conditions and natural disasters; B-ESSs have the potential to mitigate these vulnerabilities 1]. The B-ESS
