Can energy storage planning promote the realization of low-carbon power grids?

When planning energy storage, increasing consideration of carbon emissions from energy storage can promote the realization of low-carbon power grids. A two-layer energy storage planning strategy for distribution networks considering carbon emissions is proposed.

What are the energy allocation options for local communities?

Four allocation options for the local communities are considered: private energy storage (PES), community energy storage with random allocation (CES-random), community energy storage with diverse allocation (CES-diverse), and community energy storage with homogeneous allocation (CES-homogeneous).

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.

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.

What is a two-layer energy storage planning strategy for distribution networks?

A two-layer energy storage planning strategy for distribution networks considering carbon emissions is proposed. The upper layer uses regional typical daily load to calculate voltage-active power sensitivity to lessen candidate addresses.

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.
