Shared community energy storage allocation and optimization

Distributed Energy Resources have been playing an increasingly important role in smart grids. consist primarily of energy generation and storage systems utilized by individual households or shared among them as a community. In contrast to storage, the field community is now gaining more attention various countries. However, existing models are either tailored towards optimizing operations do not consider notion sharing within This paper proposes framework allocate then optimize operational cost electricity using mixed integer linear programming formulation. The allocation options include private three storage: random, diverse, homogeneous allocation. With load appliances, photovoltaic set-ups, for minimized provide optimal operation scheduling. Computational results presented on two real use cases cities Ennis, Ireland Waterloo, Canada, show advantage opposed evaluate savings which can facilitate future deployment storage. addition cost, utilization fairness used compare different systems.
