Explore the role of electric vehicles (EVs) in enhancing energy resilience by serving as mobile energy storage during power outages or emergencies. Learn how vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology allows EVs to contribute to grid stabilization, integrate renewable energy sources, enable demand response, and provide cost savings.
During emergencies via a shift in the produced energy, mobile energy storage systems (MESSs) can store excess energy on an island, and then use it in another location without sufficient energy supply and at another time , which provides high flexibility for distribution system operators to make disaster recovery decisions .
Referred to as transportable energy storage systems, MESSs are generally vehicle-mounted container battery systems equipped with standard-ized physical interfaces to allow for plug-and-play operation. Their transportation could be powered by a diesel engine or the energy from the batteries themselves.
This paper provides a comprehensive and critical review of academic literature on mobile energy storage for power system resilience enhancement. As mobile energy storage is often coupled with mobile emergency generators or electric buses, those technologies are also considered in the review.
Therefore, mobile energy storage systems with adequate spatial–temporal flexibility are added, and work in coordination with resources in an active distribution network and repair teams to establish a bilevel optimization model.
Moreover, from the simulation results shown in Fig. 6 (h) and (i), the movement of the mobile energy storage system between different charging station nodes meets the transportation time requirements, which verifies the effectiveness of the MESS’s spatial–temporal movement model proposed in this paper.
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.
