Which communication interfaces are compatible with a mobile Bess?

The investigation compares the identified communication interfaces and their respective applicability to a mobile BESS, specifically the VMS. For specific power utility applications, it is clearly noted that the standard IEC 61850 allows clear benefits compared to the other investigated interface.

How much power does a Bess have?

The system is built of two main blocks. The PCS building block, responsible for the main control of the mobile BESS. The nominal power rating of the PCS block is 225 kVA, with a maximum peak power in the peak shaving mode of 275 kW . The second block is the modular battery pack.

What applications can a mobile Bess support?

The project aims to perform a thorough analysis of the various communication interfaces applicable to the applications that a mobile BESS can help support, of which, some typical VMS applications are construction sites, festivals, and EV charging stations.

What are the environmental conditions of a mobile Bess system?

Due to the flexible and mobile nature of mobile BESS, the environmental conditions can difer greatly for each system depending on the respective mobile deployments. Ranging from high temperatures and high humidity to the inverse during the same season, monitoring and control of the TMS is critical.

What is a typical mobile Bess application?

Another typical mobile BESS application is microgrid operations. Which could be at remote locations on or ofgrid depending on operation and grid availability. Typical usages are at construction sites or event/festival areas where grid connections may be severely inadequate or underdimensioned for the usage needed.

Which is a typical utility Bess use case?

Which is one of the most typical utility BESS use cases, providing setpoints through operator or automatic control as in ancillary services. The three mobile storage applications presented in this section were identified and chosen through some application criteria. The applications presented focuses mainly on industrial and utility cases.
