Physically constrained, cost-effective model enabling efficient battery sharing in energy communities.!
Meaning A physically-constrained and economically viable model for storage sharing in energy communities refers to a framework that enables multiple users or prosumers (producers-consumers) within a local energy network to jointly utilize shared energy storage resources, while strictly respecting physical limitations of power systems (such as network capacity, voltage limits, and storage constraints) and ensuring financial sustainability for all participants. The model integrates engineering realities with economic incentives, creating a balanced approach that supports renewable energy integration, grid stability, and fair cost allocation. Introduction Energy communities are emerging as a key component of decentralized energy systems, driven by the rapid growth of distributed renewable generation, particularly solar and wind. Individual ownership of energy storage systems can be expensive and inefficient, leading to underutilization of resources. Storage sharing offers an alt...
