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.
On the one hand, the proliferation of electric mobility has led to mobile energy storage resources (MESRs), including electric vehicles (EVs) and mobile energy storage systems (MESSs), becoming valuable power sources to address load demands during major power outages , .
Among them, mobile energy storage systems (MESS) are energy storage devices that can be transported by trucks, enabling charging and discharging at different nodes .
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.
This work was supported by Princess Sumaya University for Technology (Grant (10) 9-2023/2024). The successful integration of battery energy storage systems (BESSs) is crucial for enhancing the resilience and performance of microgrids (MGs) and power systems.
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.
