Abstract The stored energy of charged batteries at a Battery Swapping Sta- tion (BSS) can be used as a source of electricity. This paper discusses, an optimal dispatch of the stored electrical energy at a BSS to power up the external load. The problem is solved using linear program- ming for a small farm cold storage with a pre-cooling effect. With the precooling effect, a 5% reduction in the price of electricity is obtained. The BSS can be used to provide cheaper electricity to the consumer and gain profits for the BSS owner by selling excess energy enhancing the potential of BSS technology adoption.
