Energy storage enabling renewable energy communities: An
A case study evaluated energy storage and performance outcomes for three urban built types (i.e., large low-rise, compact low-rise, and compact mid-rise areas) with different
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).
Case study The case study intends to demonstrate the merits of the analytical framework and exhibit the influence of urban context on energy storage prospects. It evaluates and compares the techno-economic potential of ESSs (of single and hybrid types) for improving the performance of energy communities of different urban built types.
Annual installations of residential energy-storage capacity could exceed 2,900 MWh by 2023. The more residential energy-storage resources there are on the grid, the more valuable grid integration may become. So several states are experimenting with grid-integration programs targeted at residential energy storage.
In urban areas, community energy storage serves various purposes including increasing self-consumption, enabling the seamless integration of intermittent renewables, and providing economic incentives (Barabino et al., 2023; Koirala et al., 2018; Zhang et al., 2023).
