Can mobile energy storage systems improve distribution system resilience?

The results demonstrate the effectiveness of MESS mobility to enhance distribution system resilience due to the coordination of mobile and stationary resources. Mobile energy storage systems (MESSs) provide promising solutions to enhance distribution system resilience in terms of mobility and flexibility.

What is mobile energy storage?

In addition to microgrid support, mobile energy storage can be used to transport energy from an available energy resource to the outage area if the outage is not widespread. A MESS can move outside the affected area, charge, and then travel back to deliver energy to a microgrid.

Are mobile energy storage vehicles a viable solution?

To address these issues, mobile energy storage vehicles are emerging as an effective solution. These vehicles are widely used in locations such as bus and taxi stations, airports, highway service areas, shopping malls, and parking lots.

Are mobile energy storage vehicles a viable alternative to fixed charging stations?

Notably, with the support of autonomous driving technology, mobile energy storage vehicles break free from the reliance on fixed charging stations, offering a more convenient and efficient way to charge EVs.

How can mobile energy storage improve power grid resilience?

Improving power grid resilience can help mitigate the damages caused by these events. Mobile energy storage systems, classified as truck-mounted or towable battery storage systems, have recently been considered to enhance distribution grid resilience by providing localized support to critical loads during an outage.

Are mobile battery energy storage systems a viable alternative to diesel generators?

Mobile battery energy storage systems offer an alternative to diesel generators for temporary off-grid power. Alex Smith, co-founder and CTO of US-based provider Moxion Power looks at some of the technology’s many applications and scopes out its future market development.
