What is a common energy storage system?

A common energy storage system (s t) is considered for matching the energy demand and supply of the buildings (prosumers) in an urban area. The self-consumption of onsite-produced energy (s s t) by the buildings and the energy exchange (e e t) with the electric utility occurs collectively assuming an energy community configuration.

Does the simulation model address hybrid energy storage systems?

The simulation model does not address hybrid energy storage systems. So, a general linear optimization model is also developed to find the appropriate combination of storage technology types, hybrid ESS sizing, and the operating pattern for matching the energy demand and supply.

What is the economic potential of energy storage type?

Economic potential of energy storage type varies with the built context. Li-ion batteries are economically viable solution for self-sufficiency improvement. Reversible fuel cells are suitable as a long-term storage solution.

Can a hybrid energy storage system improve community performance?

The optimization model evaluates the storage types altogether and can suggest a hybrid storage solution. The case study findings highlight that the prospects of energy storage systems (multiple types) for the communities intending to enhance their collective performance in an economically viable manner vary with different urban contexts.

Which energy storage solution is suitable for a compact low-rise area?

In contrast, the potential energy storage solution for a compact low-rise area with dominantly residential buildings comprised a proportionate combination of Li-ion battery and SOFC-RFC ESS due to its higher requirement of short-term energy storage (as residential buildings have low self-consumption during the day but need energy during the night).

Can energy storage technologies improve urban energy performance?

Summary of findings and limitations The case study's results, summarized in Table 7, demonstrated that the scope and economic potential of different energy storage technologies and configurations (single and hybrid) for improving the energy performance of an urban energy community depends on (and varies with) its built context (form and function).
