A Novel Mobility Model to Support the Routing of Mobile Energy Resources

Abstract: Mobile energy resources (MERs) have received increasing attention due to their effectiveness in boosting the power system resilience in a flexible way. In this paper, a novel mobility model for MERs is proposed, which can support the routing of MERs to provide various services for the power system. Two key points, the state transitions and travel time of MERs, are formulated by linear constraints. The feasibility of the proposed model, especially its advantages in model size and computational efficiency for the routing of MERs among many nodes with a small time span, is demonstrated by a series of tests.
