Mobile Energy Storage Systems – Use Cases and
The paper explores Mobile Energy Storage Systems (MESS) as a clean substitute for diesel generators, covering MESS definitions,
The primary advantage that mobile energy storage offers over stationary energy storage is flexibility. MESSs can be re-located to respond to changing grid conditions, serving different applications as the needs of the power system evolve.
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.
Demand and types of mobile energy storage technologies (A) Global primary energy consumption including traditional biomass, coal, oil, gas, nuclear, hydropower, wind, solar, biofuels, and other renewables in 2021 (data from Our World in Data 2). (B) Monthly duration of average wind and solar energy in the U.K. from 2018 to 2020.
