Bangladesh portable mobile power communication BESS

The BESS technology will play a key role in peak load management, frequency regulation, voltage control, and overall grid reliability, reducing power interruptions and improving customer service. The project will ensure better load management, enhanced grid security, and faster restoration times in case of power failures.

With Bangladesh's electricity demand expected to reach 32 gigawatts (GW) by 2030, the introduction of BESS is seen as a crucial advancement for modernizing and stabilizing the national power grid. BREB, having nearly achieved universal electrification, will use this project to provide more reliable power, especially during peak demand periods.

The investigation compares the identified communication interfaces and their respective applicability to a mobile BESS, specifically the VMS. For specific power utility applications, it is clearly noted that the standard IEC 61850 allows clear benefits compared to the other investigated interface.

Another typical mobile BESS application is microgrid operations. Which could be at remote locations on or ofgrid depending on operation and grid availability. Typical usages are at construction sites or event/festival areas where grid connections may be severely inadequate or underdimensioned for the usage needed.

The project aims to perform a thorough analysis of the various communication interfaces applicable to the applications that a mobile BESS can help support, of which, some typical VMS applications are construction sites, festivals, and EV charging stations.

Since the BESS is, as seen from the power system, able to act as both a load or generator, i.e. consume or inject active and reactive power individually, these capabilities are described respectively in the LNs DLOD and DGEN.
