What is shared energy storage service?

Shared storage service is an effective approach toward a grid with high penetration of renewable energy. The application prospects of shared energy storage services have gained widespread recognition due to the increasing use of renewable energy sources.

Should community energy storage be used instead of private energy storage?

Computational results are presented on two real use cases in the cities of Ennis, Ireland and Waterloo, Canada, to show the advantage of using community energy storage as opposed to private energy storage and to evaluate the cost savings which can facilitate future deployment of community energy storage.

What is community energy storage?

In contrast to individual energy storage, the field of community energy storage (CES) is now gaining more attention in various countries. We note that a community is a medium size neighborhood within a given geographical region that contains several households and that can share resources.

How to create a shared energy storage community?

Community setup The first step to have shared energy storage is to form communities which are built by using the k -means approach. The geographical locations (longitude and latitude) are used to cluster the households. In this case, K = 3 is used to form three communities due to the distance limitation of CES and the road intersection.

Can NSGA-II be used to promote shared energy storage mode?

In this way, targeted policies could be tailored based on these aspects to further promote the shared energy storage mode. Furthermore, it is important to note that while the NSGA-II algorithm was employed in this paper to obtain feasible solutions, these solutions may be local optimal optima.

Are community energy storage systems fair?

However, the fairness of utilizing the community energy storage system should be considered in the allocation phase, in other words, it might cause problems if the ratio of charging and discharging is not satisfactory in a given community, causing some households to always provide power to other households.
