What is mobile energy storage?

As a flexible energy storage solution, mobile energy storage also shows a trend of decreasing technical and economic parameters over time. Like fixed energy storage, the fixed operating costs, battery costs, and investment costs of mobile energy storage also decrease with the increase of years.

Is mobile energy storage a viable alternative to fixed energy storage?

Mobile energy storage can improve system flexibility, stability, and regional connectivity, and has the potential to serve as a supplement or even substitute for fixed energy storage in the future. However, there are few studies that comprehensively evaluate the operational performance and economy of fixed and mobile energy storage systems.

Are batteries a good energy storage technology?

We hope this review will be beneficial to the further development of such mobile energy storage technologies and boosting carbon neutrality. Batteries are electrochemical devices, which have the merits of high energy conversion efficiency (close to 100%). Compared with the ECs, batteries possess high capacity and high energy density.

What is the transportation cost of mobile battery energy storage?

The transportation cost of mobile battery energy storage only includes railway freight, which is the sum of the transportation cost of full batteries and empty batteries . The calculation method of full/empty batteries transportation cost is shown in eqs. (11), (12).

How can mobile energy storage systems improve the economy?

With the advancement of battery technology, such as increased energy density, cost reduction, and extended cycle life, the economy of mobile energy storage systems will be further improved. Future research should focus on the impact of new technologies on system performance and update model parameters in a timely manner.

What are rechargeable batteries used for?

For example, rechargeable batteries, with high energy conversion efficiency, high energy density, and long cycle life, have been widely used in portable electronics, electric vehicles, and even grid-connected energy storage systems.
