DESCRIPTION:The large-scale deployment of battery energy storage systems (B
 ESS) is technically essential for enabling renewable energy to function as
  a primary power source in modern power systems. However\, implementation 
 has progressed more slowly than required\, largely due to limited economic
  viability under current market mechanisms. From a system engineering pers
 pective\, storage plays a critical role in maintaining frequency stability
 \, balancing supply and demand\, mitigating variability\, and enhancing ov
 erall system resilience. As renewable penetration increases and system ine
 rtia declines\, the need for fast-response resources such as BESS becomes 
 increasingly urgent\, including from an energy security standpoint.\n\nThi
 s presentation provides an overview of the current situation in Japan\, in
 cluding market and operational frameworks relevant to storage deployment. 
 It further examines recent technical challenges associated with high renew
 able penetration—such as frequency control\, reserve management\, and sy
 stem stability—and discusses emerging operational strategies and technol
 ogical trends in storage integration and grid support functions.\n\nSpeake
