Optimization of the battery swapping station to power up mobile and stationary loads

Abstract

The stored energy of charged batteries at a Battery Swapping Station (BSS) can be used as a source of electricity. This paper discusses, an optimal dispatch of the stored electrical energy at a BSS to power up the external load. The problem is solved using linear programming for a small farm cold storage with a pre-cooling effect. With the precooling effect, a 5% reduction in the price of electricity is obtained. The BSS can be used to provide cheaper electricity to the consumer and gain profits for the BSS owner by selling excess energy enhancing the potential of BSS technology adoption.
