Hargeisa shared energy storage demonstration project

What are some examples of shared energy storage demonstration projects?

At present, shared energy storage demonstration projects have been launched at home and abroad. In 2009, the "Economic Grid" project of SENEC.IES in Germany ( De Fusco et al., 2016) proposes the "Free Lunch" business model.

How is the sharing economy applied in smart grids?

In recent years, the sharing economy has been initially applied in smart grids to address the problems caused by increasing renewable energy. The typical applications include: Shared energy storage ( Kalathil et al., 2019 ): it is the application of the sharing economy in the field of energy storage.

What is a shared energy storage mode?

The shared energy storage mode can attract more capital to actively invest in the energy storage industry, accelerate the development of energy storage scale and maximize the efficiency of energy storage utilization. Transactive energy (TE) ( Yang et al., 2020 ): it is the application of sharing economy in the field of the electricity market.

What is shared energy storage?

Shared energy storage is generally applied in the supply, network, and demand sides of power systems. The shared energy storage at the supply side is mainly utilized for renewable energy consumption ( Zhang et al., 2021 ). The proportion of renewable energy is greatly increasing due to the continuous promotion of "carbon peaking and neutrality".

Can shared energy storage and transactive energy be used in smart grids?

The shared economy as an emerging commercial model has attracted much attention and is widely applied in smart grids. This paper is focused on the state of the art of shared energy storage and transactive energy (TE) which are the typical applications of shared economy in smart grids.

How do shared energy storage operators interact with users?

The interaction between shared energy storage operators and users relies on the market structure of shared energy storage, including the sharing structure, trading products, and pricing mechanism. The sharing structure characterizes the investors and owners of energy storage resources and reveals the role of shared energy storage operators.
