Integrating Wide Bandgap Semiconductor Technologies into Emerging Mobile Energy Supply Systems
Year: 2024
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Future energy systems are gradually more susceptible to disruptions due to reduced network redundancy. It is urgent to develop additional flexible resources to improve energy network resilience. Mobile energy supply systems (MOES), typically denoted as truck-mounted generators, can play an important role due to its spatial-temporal flexibility compared with their stationary counterparts. This paper assesses the possibility of integrating advanced wide bandgap (WBG) technologies into emerging mobile energy supply systems. The research firstly starts with the typical configuration and functionality analysis of MOES, investigating potential energy solutions, and then proposes several key performance indicators in relation to MOES. Subsequently, the potential of WBG technologies in different configurations of MOES is investigated. The research demonstrates the promising potential of combing WBG with MOES to enhance its functionality in supporting the operation of future energy systems.
