“…Historically Japan has also had some of the highest electricity prices in OECD countries [24]. It should be noted that Japan is actively pursuing other EES storage options and has developed as a leader in sodium sulphur (NaS) grid-scale electrochemical battery installations [33].…”

“…Nonetheless, the other energy storage systems like Lead-acid batteries, etc are not practical and economic [28]. Battery energy storage systems are mainly used as ancillary services or to support the large-scale wind and solar integration into the existing electrical system, as well as to ensure the networkstability, the frequency regulation and the wind smoothing solar energy [29].…”

Table 4 The analysis has shown that the large battery energy storage systems use Sodium-sulfur batteries [28]. These systems are mainly used to support integration in a hybrid solar and wind system by providing grid stability, frequency regulation, voltage support, power quality, load shifting, and energy arbitrage.…”

The number of installations of Micro-Grid or intelligent micro power networks will increase to quadruple by 2020.The purpose is to reduce the cost and the consumption of electricity in transmission and distribution networks, using a hybrid system powered by solar and wind sources, as well as integrating storage devices. This paper reviews and discusses the MicroGrid Model. It describes various Micro-Grid components and different configurations. It also presents the model of two generation units (Photovoltaic and Wind Turbine). Then, a comparative study of different battery types used for large-scale electricity storage is carried out, followed by a review of control strategies.

“…Energy storage technologies promote the RES penetration, by facilitating the self consumption of the locally produced electricity, by increasing its values and by mitigation of the negative externalities (Kaldellis and Zafirakis, 2007;Beaudin et al, 2010;Poullikkas, 2013). In fact, in presence of a sufficient storage capacity, renewable energy from distributed generation plants can be stored during peak production hours to be utilized during high demand hours rather then being sold to the grid or wasted.…”

“…Electricity storages are costly, require a non negligible maintenance and have a limited useful life (Poullikkas, 2013;Hittinger et al, 2012). On the other hand, thermal storages are relatively inexpensive, reliable and does not require specific maintenance (IEA-IRENA, 2013;Navarro et al, 2016a).…”

The optimal design of distributed generation systems is of foremost importance to reduce fossil fuel consumption and mitigate the environmental impact of human activities in urban areas. Moreover, an efficient and integrated control strategy is needed for each of the components of a distributed generation plant, in order to reach the expected economic and environmental performances.In this paper, the transition from natural gas to electricity-based heating is evaluated for residential applications, considering the interplay between photovoltaic electricity produced on site and the thermal energy storage, to grant the optimal management of heating devices. The energy demand of an apartment building, under different climatic conditions, is taken as a reference and four power plant solutions are assessed in terms of energy cost and pollution reduction potential, compared to a baseline plant configuration. The performance of each power plant is analyzed assuming an optimized control strategy, which is determined through a graph-based methodology that was previously developed and validated by the authors. Outcomes from our study show that, if heat pumps are used instead of natural gas boilers, energy costs can be reduced up to 41%, while CO 2 emissions can be reduced up to 73%, depending on the climatic conditions.Our results provide a sound basis for considering the larger penetration of photovoltaic plants as an effective solution towards cleaner and more efficient heating technologies for civil applications. The simultaneous utilization of heat pumps (as substitutes of boilers) and photovoltaic panels yields a positive synergy that nullifies the local pollution, drastically cuts the CO 2 emission, and guarantees the economical sustainability of the investment in renewable energy sources without subsidiary mechanisms.
