The mobility and flexibility of the system enables novel applications and deployments where BESS previously were unused due to the non-flexible solutions. The system is modular, meaning that the energy storage capacity can be quickly adapted depending on the application case, in contrast to larger and bulkier solutions.
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.
Effective communication in substations relies heavily on standardized protocols. These protocols ensure interoperability between devices from different manufacturers and facilitate efficient data exchange. Go here to learn more about DNP3. 4. Fiber Optic Communication Fiber optic cables are the backbone of modern substation communication systems.
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.
The protocol can be used between the charging station and EVSE to an Energy Management System (EMS) or DSO for demand response applications, such as forecasted load from tarifs, peak-shaving and reducing grid load. Further on the protocol is presented in Section 2.3.5. Modbus is also another commonly utilized protocol.
The advancement of communication technologies has significantly enhanced the efficiency and reliability of substation operations. From RTUs and PLCs to fiber optic and wireless communication, each component plays a crucial role in ensuring the seamless functioning of modern electrical grids.
