The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies in energy storage systems has emerged as a transformative approach in addressing the complex challenges of modern energy infrastructure. This comprehensive review examines current state of the art AI applications in energy storage, from battery management systems to grid-scale storage optimization. We analyze various AI techniques, including supervised learning, deep learning, reinforcement learning, and neural networks, and their applications in state estimation, predictive maintenance, energy forecasting, and system optimization. The review synthesizes findings from the recent literature demonstrating quantitative improvements achieved through AI integration: distributed reinforcement learning frameworks reducing grid disruptions by 40% and operational costs by 12.2%, LSTM models achieving state of charge estimations with a mean absolute error of 0.10, multi-objective optimization reducing power losses by up to 22.8% and voltage fluctuations by up to 71%, and real options analysis showing 45–81% cost reductions compared to conventional planning approaches. Despite remarkable progress, challenges remain in terms of data quality, model interpretability, and industrial implementation. This paper provides insights into emerging technologies and future research directions that will shape the evolution of intelligent energy storage systems.
