What is mobile energy storage?

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.

What are the development directions for mobile energy storage technologies?

Development directions in mobile energy storage technologies are envisioned. Carbon neutrality calls for renewable energies, and the efficient use of renewable energies requires energy storage mediums that enable the storage of excess energy and reuse after spatiotemporal reallocation.

Can mobile energy storage improve power system resilience?

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.

What is mobile thermal energy storage (MTES)?

The challenges lie in the spatial and temporary mismatch of the heat demand and supply. Mobile thermal energy storage (M−TES) provides a potential solution to the challenges through for example, recovering the industrial waste heat to meet demands in remote and isolated communities.

What is a transportable energy storage system?

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.

What is a mobile thermal energy storage device?

The mobile thermal energy storage device has a configuration as shown in Fig. 1 a. It is containerised with a cuboid shape. Two round-to-rectangular connectors located at the lower part of the front end serve as the inlet and outlet of the heat transfer fluid.
