The decarbonization of the energy system will bring substantial changes, from supranational regions to residential sites. This review investigates sustainable energy supply, applying a multi-sectoral approach from a residential site perspective, especially with focus on identifying crucial, plausible factors and their influence on the operation of the system. The traditionally separated mobility, heat, and electricity sectors are examined in more detail with regard to their decarbonization approaches. For every sector, available technologies, demand, and future perspectives are described. Furthermore, the benefits of cross-sectoral integration and technology coupling are examined, besides challenges to the electricity grid due to upcoming technologies, such as electric vehicles and heat pumps. Measures such as transport mode shift and improving building insulation can reduce the demand in their respective sector, although their impact remains uncertain. Moreover, flexibility measures such as Power to X or vehicle to grid couple the electricity sector to other sectors such as the mobility and heat sectors. Based on these findings, a morphological analysis is conducted. A morphological box is presented to summarize the major characteristics of the future residential energy system and investigate mutually incompatible pairs of factors. Lastly, the scenario space is further analyzed in terms of annual energy demand for a district.

Currently, the majority of world economies (even those located in the sunbelt (+/− 35 degrees of latitude with good sunshine with low seasonality) uses various types of fossil fuels as the main source of energy for their economies. However, this represents a very volatile and unsustainable strategy, since according to various estimates, the fossil fuel era will inevitably end as all carbon fuels are going to be spent in the next few centuries. Unlike traditional energy, renewable energy sources (RES) are not based on energy resources, but rather rely upon natural energy flows. With regard to its unique property, there has been an active construction of power plants of renewable energy and their gradual integration into national energy supply systems in recent decades. At the same time, the existing models of electricity markets were unprepared for their wide distribution. Hence, determination of the market value of energy generated by power plants using renewable energy sources becomes a particularly significant issue. This market value has to take into account the prevention of costs from the use of fossil fuels, as well as the resulting environmental benefits. Our paper proposes methods for solving this problem, contributing to the increase of economic efficiency of investment projects for the construction of renewable energy facilities and the formation of economic incentives for their propagation in energy supply systems. The proposed methods are based on the dynamic differentiation of tariffs for consumers with renewable energy sources depending on their structure of electricity consumption. Its effectiveness is demonstrated by calculating the cost of electricity for households located in the Krasnodar region using renewable energy sources. It is shown that this approach to the formation of tariffs for consumers allows the household to receive additional savings from the efficient use of energy installations on RES and energy storage devices in terms of alignment of the energy consumption schedule. This creates a significant incentive for households to use them and contributes to increasing the effectiveness of government renewable energy support programs, including by solving the acute problem of raising electricity tariffs from the grid.

“…Ali et al discussed the issue of minimizing energy losses through finding the optimal size and location of renewable energy sources and battery storage units using a mixed integer Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization approach. Faessler et al evaluated the potential of battery storage systems in grid balancing based on different battery locations and incentives. The analysis demonstrated that central energy storage lead to better performance in terms of minimizing the voltage drop/rise and distribution losses.…”

A two‐step optimization approach is proposed to study the effects of adding a battery energy storage system (BESS) to a distribution network incorporating renewable energy sources. In this article, the first step finds the optimal size and placement of the photovoltaic (PV) arrays that lead to the lowest possible losses, cost and voltage deviation from the reference bus, while the second step starts by performing another optimization in order to find the optimal size and placement of the BESS that lead to a further reduction in the same objectives. The optimized Grid‐PV and Grid‐PV‐BESS configurations are subjected to a time domain power flow so that the annual energy losses and voltage profile of each bus can be observed. The article provides a novel formulation that treats the problem as a multi‐objective optimization and uses the Genetic Algorithm technique to reach optimal configuration in both steps. An Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers 13‐Bus test feeder is used to demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed technique.
