Energy storage system of Aodong battery swap station

Can battery swapping station be used as energy storage?

This paper proposes to leverage Battery Swapping Station (BSS) as an energy storage for mitigating solar photovoltaic (PV) output fluctuations. Using mixed-integer programming, a model for the BSS optimal scheduling is proposed to capture solar generation variability.

What is a battery swap station (BSS)?

A novel and viable method for addressing the aforementioned challenges is to reap the benefit of available energy storage system in a Battery Swapping Station (BSS). The idea of the BSS has been proposed to provide Electric Vehicle (EV) owner with a unique opportunity of exchanging an empty battery with a fully-charged one in designated stations.

Is a battery swapping station a separate operation system?

It can be seen that the battery swapping station is not a separate operation system. Due to the operation of battery charging or discharging, the battery, the distribution network and the battery swapping station are all under centralized management and constitute an integrated system.

What are the advantages of a battery swapping station?

Due to the operation of battery charging or discharging, the battery, the distribution network and the battery swapping station are all under centralized management and constitute an integrated system. Compared with the charging station, the battery swapping station (BSS) has three main advantages: Reducing the initial purchase cost for consumers.

Is battery swapping a viable alternative refueling option?

Battery swapping, as an alternative refueling option realized through battery swapping stations (BSS), is being considered [ 20 ]. Figure 1 shows the structure of BSS. It refers to the rapid recovery of electric vehicle energy by replacing batteries when the electric vehicle energy is about to run out.

Is battery swapping station a good solution for battery refueling?

Among various solution the usage of battery swapping station seems more promising as it provide quick battery refueling within a very short time period. The battery swapping station’s progress is limited due to the associated investment and operational cost which needs to be addressed to ensure the global acceptance.
