Energy storage enabling renewable energy communities: An urban
This paper thus presents a systematic approach that incorporates features of built form and function, using an agent-based model of urban energy demand and supply, in the performance
Summary of findings and limitations The case study's results, summarized in Table 7, demonstrated that the scope and economic potential of different energy storage technologies and configurations (single and hybrid) for improving the energy performance of an urban energy community depends on (and varies with) its built context (form and function).
Case study The case study intends to demonstrate the merits of the analytical framework and exhibit the influence of urban context on energy storage prospects. It evaluates and compares the techno-economic potential of ESSs (of single and hybrid types) for improving the performance of energy communities of different urban built types.
Possible integration of thermal energy storage technologies in urban areas can be done according to following categories: Passive short-term storage: Using the building's components for thermal energy storage in form of sensible (Thieblemont et al. 2016) or latent (Bastani et al. 2015)
The analysis addresses three urban built types (i.e., large low-rise, compact low-rise, and compact mid-rise areas), which tend to generate sizeable surplus energy (Mussawar et al., 2023) rendering them suitable candidates for ESS deployment.
