Abstract: A method for making a spatio-temporal combined optimal scheduling strategy of a mobile energy storage (MES) system includes: inputting data of a power system, a traffic system, and an MES system; setting a time interval, and initializing a time interval counter; inputting real-time fault, traffic, and MES data; and performing rolling optimization and solving, and delivering regulation decision instructions of the MES system, till a fault is removed. The core of the present disclosure is to propose a spatio-temporal combined optimal model of the MES system to describe spatio-temporal coupling statuses of an energy storage vehicle, a traffic network, and a power distribution network. The present disclosure provides guidance for an optimal scheduling decision of the MES system by properly regulating a traveling path and charging and discharging power of the MES system, thereby supporting high-reliability operation of the power distribution network.
