Mobile and Transportable Energy Storage Systems: Business Case and Benchmark Analysis

An innovative approach to conventional portable and emergency gensets involves the use of mobile energy storage systems (MESS) and transportable energy storage systems (TESS), offering clean and noise-free alternative solutions. While enhancing grid reliability and resilience remains a critical objective in MESS/TESS deployment, it is equally important to assess the business use cases and cost-effectiveness of these alternative approaches compared to conventional solutions, such as using diesel or gas generators. This paper delves into the business use cases of using mobile ESS and provides benchmark examples, both for utility and non-utility sectors, to illustrate the application of MESS/TESS in sustaining the reliability and resilience of energy supply. In addition, a high-level cost-benefit analysis framework is presented, which outlines the potential financial considerations for the widespread adoption of these solutions in various industry sectors.
