Abstract

To mitigate the mismatch between fluctuating renewable generation and load demand in highway service area multi-microgrid systems, this paper develops a day-ahead capacity optimization model based on the coordinated operation of fixed and mobile energy storage. A ring-structured multi-microgrid architecture is established, incorporating a “one-to-many” interaction mode of mobile storage stations. A coordinated control strategy is then proposed to enable flexible power dispatch and resource sharing among microgrids. The objective function minimizes both investment and operating costs of energy storage on a day-ahead timescale, and the model is solved using an optimization approach. Case study results demonstrate that introducing mobile energy storage significantly reduces the required capacity of local fixed storage, enhances energy interconnection among microgrids, and improves overall storage utilization and system economy.
