Compared to stationary batteries and other energy storage systems, their mobility provides operational flexibility to support geo-graphically dispersed loads across an outage area. This paper provides a comprehensive and critical review of academic literature on mobile energy storage for power system resilience enhancement.
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.
The primary application of mobile energy storage systems is for replacement of polluting and noisy emergency diesel generators that are widely used in various utilities, mining, and construction industry. Mobile ESS can reduce use of diesel generators and provide a cleaner and sustainable alternative for reduction of GHG emissions.
There is also ambiguity in available technologies and vendor products that can be reliably used in mobile energy storage applications. In that regard, the design, engineering and specifications of mobile and transportable energy storage systems (ESS) projects will need to be investigated.
In 2016, Consolidated Edison of New York announced their plans to develop an 800 kWh MESS unit with Electrovaya, a lithium-ion battery company . Power Edison has deployed mobile energy storage systems for over five years, offering utility-scale plug-and-play solutions .

A mobile energy storage system is composed of a mobile vehicle, battery system and power conversion system . Relying on its spatial–temporal flexibility, it can be moved to different charging stations to exchange energy with the power system.
During emergencies via a shift in the produced energy, mobile energy storage systems (MESSs) can store excess energy on an island, and then use it in another location without sufficient energy supply and at another time , which provides high flexibility for distribution system operators to make disaster recovery decisions .
When different resource types are applied, the routing and scheduling of mobile energy storage systems change. (2) The scheduling strategies of various flexible resources and repair teams can reduce the voltage offset of power supply buses under to minimize load curtailment of the power distribution system.
One delayed explosion battery ESS incident is particularly noteworthy because the severe firefighter injuries and unusual circumstances in this incident were widely reported (Renewable Energy World, 2019).
Interactions with power supply and discharge systems occur via an external Power Conversion System and Energy Management System as shown in Fig. 1. Battery Energy Storage Units have doors for operating and maintenance personnel and for installation and replacement of equipment.
Conclusions Several large-scale lithium-ion energy storage battery fire incidents have involved explosions. The large explosion incidents, in which battery system enclosures are damaged, are due to the deflagration of accumulated flammable gases generated during cell thermal runaways within one or more modules.

In this Article, we estimate the ability of rail-based mobile energy storage (RMES)—mobile containerized batteries, transported by rail among US power sector regions—to aid the grid in withstanding and recovering from high-impact, low-frequency events.
Several MESS demonstration projects around the world have validated its ability to support multiple aspects of the power grid. This subsection describes the scheduling of mobile energy storage in terms of theoretical approaches and demonstration applications, respectively.
Multiple requests from the same IP address are counted as one view. In the high-renewable penetrated power grid, mobile energy-storage systems (MESSs) enhance power grids’ security and economic operation by using their flexible spatiotemporal energy scheduling ability.
The primary advantage that mobile energy storage offers over stationary energy storage is flexibility. MESSs can be re-located to respond to changing grid conditions, serving different applications as the needs of the power system evolve.
Mobile energy resources, specifically MESSs, can increase power grid resilience by restoring power to critical loads following a contingency. Their mobility allows for increased flexibility compared to stationary DERs. MESSs can also provide ancillary services during normal operation, recouping investment decisions,
Therefore, enhancing the safe and stable operation capability of the power system is an urgent problem that needs to be solved. Mobile energy storage can improve system flexibility, stability, and regional connectivity, and has the potential to serve as a supplement or even substitute for fixed energy storage in the future.
