Abstract
Mobile energy resources (MERs) have been shown to boost DS resilience effectively in recent years. In this paper, we propose a novel idea, the separable mobile energy storage system (SMESS), as an attempt to further extend the flexibility of MER applications. “Separable” denotes that the carrier and the energy storage modules are treated as independent parts, which allows the carrier to carry multiple modules and scatter them independently throughout the DS. The constraints for scheduling SMESSs involving carriers and modules are derived based upon the interactive behavior among them and the DS. In addition, the fuel delivery issue of feeding mobile emergency generators (MEGs), which was usually bypassed in previous studies involving the scheduling of MEGs, is also considered and modeled. SMESSs, MEGs, and fuel tankers (FTs) are then jointly routed and scheduled, along with the dynamic DS reconfiguration, for DS service restoration by integrating them in a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model. Finally, the test is conducted on the modified IEEE test systems, and results verify the effectiveness of the model in boosting DS resilience.
