Does a shared storage system have a complementarity of power generation and consumption?

In this context, considering the complementarity of power generation and consumption behavior among different prosumers, this paper proposes an energy storage sharing framework towards a community, to analyze the investment behavior for shared storage system at the design phase and energy interaction among participants at the operation phase.

What is community shared energy storage (CSES)?

Community shared energy storage (CSES) is a solution to alleviate the uncertainty of renewable resources by aggregating excess energy during appropriate periods and discharging it when renewable generation is low. CSES involves multiple consumers or producers sharing an energy storage system.

Are shared energy storage systems effective?

In fact, shared energy storage systems can be an effective way to increase the efficiency and reliability of the energy system, regardless of whether consumers have their own PV systems or not. Comparing Figs. 4 and 5 demonstrates that CSES decreases the injecting power of consumers into the local grid.

Can community members use a shared energy storage system?

To use the shared energy storage system, community members can lease the capacity of the CSES. In other words, the maximum purchased power from or sold power to the shared storage is limited by the leased capacity. The leased capacity represents the share of the CSES' capacity that each consumer can use.

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 a reasonable plan for shared energy storage system?

Therefore, the reasonable plan for shared ESS is the primary task to promote the commercialization of storage sharing mechanism. At present, many scholars have studied the optimal sizing of energy storage system. Linear programming optimization model is a common modeling method to size the energy storage system in energy communities .
