MESSs are not subject to the stochastic behavior and demand of electric vehicle drivers and do not require advanced communication infrastructure, smart meters, or interaction with electricity consumers. The primary advantage that mobile energy storage offers over stationary energy storage is flexibility.
There are a number of challenges for these mobile energy recovery and storage technologies. Among main ones are - The lack of existing infrastructure and services for multi-vector energy EV charging.
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 emergence of large-scale energy storage systems is contingent on the successful commercial deployment of TES techniques for EVs, which is set to influence all forms of transport as vehicle electrification progresses, including cars, buses, trucks, trains, ships, and even airplanes (see Fig. 4).
Mobile energy storage increases distribution system resilience by mitigating outages that would likely follow a severe weather event or a natural disaster. This decreases the amount of customer demand that is not met during the outage and shortens the duration of the outage for supported customers.
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.
