Small-scale lithium-ion residential battery systems in the German market suggest that between 2014 and 2020, battery energy storage systems (BESS) prices fell by 71%, to USD 776/kWh. With their rapid cost declines, the role of BESS for stationary and transport applications is gaining prominence, but other technologies exist, including pumped ...
Mobile energy storage systems (MESSs) have recently been considered as an oper-ational resilience enhancement strategy to provide localized emergency power during an outage. A MESS is classified as a truck-mounted or towable battery storage system, typically with utility-scale capacity.
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.
