North asia mobile energy storage vehicle model

Why do we need mobile energy storage vehicles?

In today's society, we strongly advocate green, energy-saving, and emission reduction background, and the demand for new mobile power supply systems becomes very urgent. Mobile energy storage vehicles can not only charge and discharge, but they can also facilitate more proactive distribution network planning and dispatching by moving around.

Why is mobile energy storage important?

Energy storage plays a crucial role in enhancing grid resilience by providing stability, backup power, load shifting capabilities, and voltage regulation. While stationary energy storage has been widely adopted, there is growing interest in vehicle-mounted mobile energy storage due to its mobility and flexibility.

What are the challenges faced by mobile energy recovery and storage technologies?

There are a number of challenges for these mobile energy recovery and storage technologies. Among main ones are - The lack of existing infrastructure and services for multi-vector energy EV charging.

Can EV batteries be monetized as mobile energy storage?

The EV batteries, an increasingly prominent type of energy resource, are largely underutilized. We propose a new business model that monetizes underutilized EV batteries as mobile energy storage to significantly reduce the demand charge portion of many commercial and industrial users’ electricity bills.

What infrastructure is needed for multi-energy-vector powered EVs?

Infrastructure for multi-energy-vector powered EVs: Multi-energy powered EVs require the establishment of multi-vector energy charging stations and associated infrastructure, as well as the access to rapidly updated charge station locations through e.g. GPS and mobile phone apps.

How does a PCM affect the travel range of EVs?

The PCM is supposed to have a phase change temperature around the comfort temperature which is lower/higher than the ambient temperature in summer/winter, respectively. In this way, the energy consumption of the compressor can be reduced, and hence the travelling range of EVs can be increased.
