Introduction
In December 2024, coordinated by the SSTC, the team led by Professor Wang from Shanxi University, China, established a partnership with Professor Blaz from National Institute of Chemistry, Slovenia. In the next years, the two parties will conduct joint research on the topic of "Coordinated planning and spatiotemporal optimal scheduling of mobile energy storage considering electrochemical extraction technology and multiple kinds of energy resources".
Chinese Team (Led by Professor Wang from Shanxi University, China)
Leverage the rich experience in dealing with diverse energy resources in Shanxi. Analyze the current energy grid structure, distribution, and utilization of coal, wind, solar, and other energy sources. Share the practical data on the energy load demand in different regions of Shanxi with the Slovenian team. This data will assist the Slovenian team in calibrating their electrochemical mobile energy storage models for better adaptability to real - world scenarios.
Focus on developing the spatiotemporal optimal scheduling strategy. Incorporate the technical parameters of the water - splitting - based mobile energy storage system, which will be provided by the Slovenian team, into the scheduling model. Based on the geographical information, load demand characteristics, and energy supply patterns in Shanxi, establish a more accurate spatiotemporal scheduling model considering real - time energy demand and supply changes. Use advanced optimization algorithms to solve the model and obtain the optimal scheduling plan for mobile energy storage, taking into account the unique features of the water - splitting - based energy storage technology.
Build a large - scale simulation platform for the integrated energy system in Shanxi. Integrate the mobile energy storage system, multiple energy sources, and the local power grid into the simulation model. Conduct simulations under various scenarios, and share the simulation results with the Slovenian team. These results can be used by the Slovenian team to validate and improve their techno - economic analysis models, especially in terms of how the water - splitting - based mobile energy storage system performs in a complex energy - integrated environment.
Expected Outputs:
A comprehensive report on the integration of multiple energy resources in Shanxi, including the impact of water - splitting - based mobile energy storage technology on the local energy system. This report will provide a practical reference for regional energy - related decision - making, considering the application of the new energy storage technology.
An optimized spatiotemporal scheduling algorithm and software platform for mobile energy storage. The algorithm will be optimized based on the characteristics of the water - splitting - based energy storage system, which can be directly applied to the actual operation of the mobile energy storage system in Shanxi. The software platform will also be designed to be compatible with the technical parameters of the water - splitting - based mobile energy storage system.
A series of simulation - based analysis reports. These reports will not only demonstrate the feasibility and advantages of the proposed integrated energy system and mobile energy storage scheduling strategies but also provide valuable insights for the Slovenian team's techno - economic analysis and technical improvement of the water - splitting - based mobile energy storage system.
Slovenian Team (Led by Professor Blaz from National Institute of Chemistry, Slovenia)
Dive deep into the electrochemical mobile energy storage modeling for water - splitting extraction. Consider the specific energy consumption patterns and load demand characteristics in Shanxi, which are provided by the Chinese team, during the model - building process. This will ensure that the models can accurately describe the energy conversion and storage processes in the water - splitting - based mobile energy storage system in the context of Shanxi's energy environment.
Perform comprehensive techno - economic analysis. Incorporate the data on the cost - effectiveness of different energy sources in Shanxi, such as the cost of coal - fired power generation, the investment and operation costs of wind and solar power plants, which are provided by the Chinese team. Evaluate the technical performance indicators of the water - splitting - based mobile energy storage system, such as energy density, charging - discharging efficiency, and cycle life, in the context of Shanxi's energy market. At the same time, conduct economic analysis, including the cost of equipment investment, operation and maintenance, and the potential economic benefits brought by the application of this technology in Shanxi.
Provide technical guidance and optimization suggestions for the development of the water - splitting - based mobile energy storage system. Based on the simulation results and practical operation data of the integrated energy system in Shanxi, which are provided by the Chinese team, put forward targeted improvement measures for the design, manufacturing, and operation of the mobile energy storage system. This will help the Chinese team to better integrate the water - splitting - based mobile energy storage system into the local energy grid.
Expected Outputs:
