Abstract

Electric vehicles as mobile power (EV-AMP) can allow Texas Army National Guard and others to leverage as few as four electric vehicles (EVs) to provide emergency energy storage for 24 hours by installing bidirectional chargers and associated dark-start equipment. The presence of four or more EVs operating within a regional context creates a more resilient network than a single diesel generator or BESS, and the fleet of vehicles can travel to one of several locations equipped with bidirectional chargers for the service of critical loads.
