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.

Can EVs communicate with Bess?

As the standard is primarily intended for communications between CPOs and EVSE/charging stations, the device models presented in the standard does not include modeling options for communication to non-EV related equipment, such as BESS.

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.

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.

Is a Bess a load or generator?

Since the BESS is, as seen from the power system, able to act as both a load or generator, i.e. consume or inject active and reactive power individually, these capabilities are described respectively in the LNs DLOD and DGEN.

Are mobile Bess applications compatible with smart grid applications?

The analysis is performed by a literature review of typical mobile BESS applications with the identified corresponding communication interfaces. Among the identified interfaces is the IEC 61850 standard, which shows suitability in smart grid applications, enabling interoperability, vendor-independence, and standardization.
