Abstract

A mobile (transportable) energy storage system (MESS) can provide various services in distribution systems including load levelling, peak shaving, reactive power support, renewable energy integration and transmission deferral. Unlike stationary energy storage units, mobile energy storage can move between different buses by truck to provide different local services within the distribution feeder. This work proposes a day-ahead energy management system (EMS) for a MESS that aims to minimize the cost of the power imported from the grid. The MESS does not only shift renewable energy power to load peak-hours but also can provide localized reactive power support. Given the day-ahead predictions, the EMS decided the optimal MESS stations in the feeder and the operating power. The applicability of the proposed scheduling and operation algorithms is tested on a typical 41-bus radial feeder.
