Mobile Energy Storage Systems for Disaster Relief Operations
This article outlines the key roles and features of mobile energy storage for disaster relief, helping wholesalers source products that meet the urgent, high-stakes needs of relief
Existing methods for emergency mobile energy storage (EMES) allocation often struggle to balance resilience enhancement and economic feasibility under large-scale disasters effectively. To address these challenges, this paper presents an advanced optimization framework for EMES deployment based on multi-agent Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL).
Upon the arrival of mobile energy storage units, these resources collectively provide power support to critical loads in the distribution system. This scenario demonstrates superior resilience recovery capability in the initial stages of power resilience compared to Scenario II.
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.
As mobile energy storage is often coupled with mobile emergency generators or electric buses, those technologies are also considered in the review. Allocation of these resources for power grid resilience enhancement requires modeling of both the transportation system constraints and the power grid operational constraints.
