What is a mobile energy storage system?

An energy storage system contains a large amount of energy stored in a small space, which may make it the target for those who look to cause harm. For this reason, a deployed mobile energy storage system is required to be provided with a fence with a locked gate that keeps the public at least 5 ft (1.5 m) away from the ESS.

Why is mobile energy storage a stranded asset?

Stationary storage lacks flexibility, suffers from low utilization and from the risk of becoming a stranded asset. Power Edison addressed these issues by developing mobile energy storage platforms: TerraCharge™ and AquaCharge™ for mobile land-based and water-based mobile energy storage respectively.

How far can a mobile energy storage system be deployed?

Additional limitations for where a mobile energy storage system can be deployed include a 10 ft (3 m) limitation on how close it can be to various exposures and a 50 ft (15.3 m) limitation on how close it can be to specific structures with an occupant load of 30 or greater.

What is battery energy storage?

Battery energy storage means taking energy, usually from the grid or a generator, and storing it in a DC battery. This battery will have a capacity that’s tailored to your available energy, average consumption, load profile, and how long you will need to run the battery for.

Why should you invest in battery energy storage systems?

Powering your onshore, offshore and midstream operations from start to finish. Battery energy storage systems are a critical solution on the path to a more sustainable future. Our investment in clean, mobile energy solutions is just one part of our wider commitment to supporting your energy transition.

What are some applications of energy storage?

Energy storage has key reliability and economic applications for electric utilities and the commercial and industrial sectors. This includes grid resiliency, demand management, renewables integration, EV charging support and backup power.
