Mobile battery energy storage systems offer an alternative to diesel generators for temporary off-grid power. Alex Smith, co-founder and CTO of US-based provider Moxion Power looks at some of the technology’s many applications and scopes out its future market development.
Three off-grid systems have been proposed: (i) Photovoltaic (PV) systems with a diesel generator; (ii) Photovoltaic systems and battery storage; and (iii) Photovoltaic systems with diesel generator and battery storage. For this analysis, different size of photovoltaic panels were tested and the optimal size in each scenario was chosen.
Since the diesel generator is only used as a backup, this type of microgrid can achieve a renewable energy penetration rate of up to 100%. However, the storage system needs to be relatively large, and due to the high cost of energy storage systems, the return on investment for this type of microgrid is relatively low.
1. Background on the Demand for Off-Grid Microgrids using Integrated Solar, Storage, and Diesel Systems In modern construction sites, energy supply often faces significant challenges, especially when projects are located in remote areas far from existing power grids, leading to difficult and unstable electricity supply.
Our standardized container products are engineered for reliability, safety, and easy deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
