What is a utility-scale portable energy storage system (PESS)?

In this work, we first introduce the concept of utility-scale portable energy storage systems (PESS) and discuss the economics of a practical design that consists of an electric truck, energy storage, and necessary energy conversion systems.

Can portable energy storage systems complement transmission expansion?

Portable energy storage systems can complement transmission expansion by enabling fast, flexible, and cost-efficient responses to renewable integration that is crucial for a timely and cost-effective energy transition.

Can Utility-scale portable energy storage be used in California?

We introduce the potential applications of utility-scale portable energy storage and investigate its economics in California using a spatiotemporal decision model that determines the optimal operation and transportation schedules of portable storage.

Can battery-based energy storage transportation improve power system economics and security?

Battery-based energy storage transportation for enhancing power system economics and security. Stochastic scheduling of battery-based energy storage transportation system with the penetration of wind power. IEEE Trans. Sustain. Energy. 2017; 8: 135-144 Enhancing distribution system resilience with mobile energy storage and microgrids.

Should storage systems be portable?

Better use of storage systems is possible and potentially lucrative in some locations if the devices are portable, thus allowing them to be transported and shared to meet spatiotemporally varying demands.

How can energy storage improve the economic viability of energy storage?

Improving the economic viability of energy storage with smarter and more efficient utilization schemes can support more rapid penetrations of renewables and cost-effectively accelerate decarbonization.
