Grid-level energy storage mobile power supply vehicle

How can mobile energy storage systems be improved?

Establishing a pre-positioning method for mobile energy storage systems. Modeling flexible resources and analyzing their supply capabilities. Coordinating the operation of mobile energy storage systems with other flexible resources. Enhancing the resilience of the distribution network through bi-level optimization.

What are mobile energy storage systems (mess)?

Among them, mobile energy storage systems (MESS) are energy storage devices that can be transported by trucks, enabling charging and discharging at different nodes .

Do EVs improve grid resilience?

The findings demonstrate that the EVEN solution significantly boosts grid resilience, especially for smaller energy users, with minimal impact on battery health. The solution is most efficient when households are close to the central MG, minimizing energy loss. This research provides key insights into enhancing grid resilience using EVs.

What is vehicle-for-grid (VFG)?

As the future study, it is suggested to solve the problem applying a multi-time scale optimisation approach and consider the demand's uncertainty. Vehicle-for-grid (VfG) is introduced as a mobile energy storage system (ESS) in this study and its applications are investigated. Herein, VfG is referred to a specific electric vehicle merely utili...

Can mobile energy storage systems be pre-allocated on a short-time scale?

The main contributions of this paper are summarized hereafter: (1) Propose a novel method to pre-allocate mobile energy storage systems on a short-time scale. This allows the MESS to quickly participate in post-disaster load recovery, reducing loss of load and improving the efficiency of the MESS.

Is VFG a new idea in a smart grid?

In this study, VfG was introduced as a new idea in a smart grid for load shifting and power loss reduction by providing V2G and G2V services at optimal time and location of the electrical distribution network.
