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.
The inverter loading ratio determines the amount of additional energy that can be cost-effectively sold. Generally, the maximum inverter loading ratio for solar + storage systems will have their output limited by:
As mobile energy storage is often coupled with mobile emergency generators or electric buses, those technologies are also considered in the review. Allocation of these resources for power grid resilience enhancement requires modeling of both the transportation system constraints and the power grid operational constraints.
Power Edison has deployed mobile energy storage systems for over five years, offering utility-scale plug-and-play solutions . In 2021, Nomad Trans-portable Power Systems released three commercially available MESS units with energy capacities ranging from 660 kWh to 2 MWh .
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.
Determine how much energy is delivered for each increase in inverter loading ratio. For example, if the total energy delivered for a 1.6 inverter loading ratio is 254,400 MWh and for a 1.7 inverter loading ratio is 269,600 the marginal change in energy delivery is 269,600 MWh - 254,400 MWh = 15,200 MWh.
