Cape Town''s Electrochemical Energy Storage Revolution
Cape Town''s unique position – coastal winds, solar potential, and isolated grid – makes it the perfect electrochemical testing ground. Think of it as a battery scientist''s dream:
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.
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.
This avoids creating stranded assets and saves money compared to multiple stationary energy storage systems . MESSs can also provide energy during emergency conditions and their mobility allows for fast deployment at the location where they are most necessary.
The use of mobile energy resources for distribution system resilience includes two separate problems: the resource allocation problem, and the routing problem.
