The transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in revolutionizing energy storage operations is examined, highlighting AI's ability to optimize processes, improve decision-making, and facilitate the transition to more sustainable energy systems, while also pinpointing existing challenges [1]. The integration of AI into energy storage systems represents a paradigm shift in how we manage and utilize energy resources, presenting unprecedented opportunities to enhance efficiency, reliability, and sustainability [2,3]. AI algorithms can analyze vast datasets from various sources, including weather patterns, grid conditions, and energy consumption trends, to make informed decisions that optimize storage operations [4]. By leveraging machine learning, neural networks, and other AI techniques, energy storage systems can adapt to dynamic conditions, predict future energy demand, and optimize dispatch strategies [5]. The convergence of big data, machine learning, and AI is poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the future energy market [6]. As the industry evolves, digital advancements particularly AI will revolutionize supply chains, trading practices, and consumption patterns, with smart systems autonomously integrating supply, demand, and renewable sources into the grid [6]
