In recent years, frequent typhoon-induced disasters have significantly increased the risk of power grid outages, posing severe challenges to the secure and stable operation of distribution grids with high penetration of distributed photovoltaic (PV) systems. Furthermore, during post-disaster recovery, the dual uncertainties of distributed PV output and the charging/discharging behavior of flexible resources such as electric vehicles (EVs) complicate the configuration and scheduling of mobile energy storage systems (MESS). To address these challenges, this paper proposes a two-stage robust optimization framework for dynamic recovery of distribution grids: Firstly, a multi-stage decision framework is developed, incorporating MESS site selection, network reconfiguration, and resource scheduling. Secondly, a spatiotemporal coupling model is designed to integrate the dynamic dispatch behavior of MESS with the temporal and spatial evolution of disaster scenarios, enabling dynamic path planning. Finally, a nested column-and-constraint generation (NC&CG) algorithm is employed to address the uncertainties in PV output intervals and EV demand fluctuations. Simulations on the IEEE 33-node system demonstrate that the proposed method improves grid resilience and economic efficiency while reducing operational risks.
