A multi service shared energy storage platform in a smart green neighborhood

ABSTRACT Continued growth in electricity demand and global concern for carbon emissions are driving us to develop new ways, strategies and technologies to make our neighborhoods, towns and cities sustainable and smart, to meet our needs and same time ensured a good quality of life. The control of the resources needed by the population, in particular electrical energy and efficiency in terms of energy consumption, are essential today to facilitate the transition to sustainable cities. In this article, we study the integration of efficiency in renewable products per neighborhood in order to minimize its total energy cost with respect to different entities belong to this same neighborhood. We even want to have a positive storage capacity in order to collect excess energy and redirect it to other neighborhoods belonging to the same area which are in need of energy. This will enhance the efficiency of energy produced locally resulting in better quality of life, less gas emission , reducing greenhouse effect and resulting in a wiser management of the resources available in our cities.
