Are mobile battery energy storage systems a viable alternative to diesel generators?

Mobile battery energy storage systems offer an alternative to diesel generators for temporary off-grid power. Alex Smith, co-founder and CTO of US-based provider Moxion Power looks at some of the technology’s many applications and scopes out its future market development.

How many MWh can a mobile battery trailer store?

Each mobile battery trailer can store up to 2 MWh or more of energy, with liquid cooling offered as an option to reach higher energy densities. The mobile battery unit currently relies on the latest lithium-ion battery technology, but it is designed to accommodate any battery type.

What is MBE mobile battery energy?

MBE Mobile Battery Energy units allow the storage of energy from multiple sources: generator, solar, or the grid. You can then redistribute that energy, at a later time, to a site that needs power.
