Implementation of alternative energy supply solutions requires the broad involvement of local communities. Hence, smart energy solutions are primarily investigated on a local scale, resulting in integrated community energy systems (ICESs). Within this framework, the distributed generation can be optimally utilised, matching it with the local load via storage and demand response techniques. In this study, the boat demand flexibility in the Ballen marina on Samsø—a medium-sized Danish island—is analysed for improving the local grid operation. For this purpose, suitable electricity tariffs for the marina and sailors are developed based on the conducted demand analysis. The optimal scheduling of boats and battery energy storage system (BESS) is proposed, utilising mixed-integer linear programming. The marina’s grid-flexible operation is studied for three representative weeks—peak tourist season, late summer, and late autumn period—with the combinations of high/low load and photovoltaic (PV) generation. Several benefits of boat demand response have been identified, including cost savings for both the marina and sailors, along with a substantial increase in load factor. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm increases battery utilisation during summer, improving the marina’s cost efficiency. The cooperation of boat flexibility and BESS leads to improved grid operation of the marina, with profits for both involved parties. In the future, the marina’s demand flexibility could become an essential element of the local energy system, considering the possible increase in renewable generation capacity—in the form of PV units, wind turbines or wave energy.

“…Various research problems that need to be addressed related to EVs are the demand response, selection of EV charging station, distribution system operation, frequency regulation by EV benefits maximization of profit of parking lot owner and vehicular energy network, etc. [37]. From the grid point of view, the challenges in EVs include infrastructure, power quality, and intermittency as EV is an intermittent load and includes large penetration of RERs and grid operators to maintain grid stability.…”

With ever-increasing oil prices and concerns for the natural environment, there is a fast-growing interest in electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy resources (RERs), and they play an important role in a gradual transition. However, energy storage is the weak point of EVs that delays their progress. The world's EV industry is accelerating to faster adoption with appropriate incentives to the EV owners, policy support, and encouraging local manufacturing. The increasing demand for EV's has presented itself as an authentic alternative to internal combustion engines (ICE). The main feature of the RERs is their variability and intermittency. These drawbacks are overcome by integrating more than one renewable energy source including backup sources and storage systems. This paper presents various technologies, operations, challenges, and costbenefit analysis of energy storage systems and EVs.

“…Sensitive loads somewhat comprising electronic parts require high power quality of electricity. The modern, popular, and unique loads, EVs in particular, are not only dynamic in a conventional sense but are also movable (Anastasiadis et al, 2019;Mohammad et al, 2020). They can move and are free to move from one place to another within a short period of time.…”

Microgrids have been emerging and playing valuable roles in several parts of society, from academia of scholars to the energy supply industry of professional practitioners. A microgrid policy appeared in the Thailand 2015 energy development plan. There are many microgrids in Thailand. The first smart microgrid in Thailand is in active operation. Some microgrids are no longer functioning. Other microgrids continue to serve their customers. The remaining microgrid projects are in the process of development. Most present microgrids in Thailand are driven by public policy and legal flexibility. The objective of this research is to investigate the compatible microgrid technology in Thailand and explore the key drivers of microgrid policies in Thailand. The research methodology applied in this research includes data collection (i.e., a document study, interview, group discussion, and microgrid project participation and observation), as well as data analysis and conclusion. The findings of the research show that: in Thailand, the desired microgrid technologies are compatible with 1) inputs of potential local renewable energy resources of solar, wind, biomass, and mini-hydro, and 2) small gaps of human resource capabilities to deal with the technology utilization. The key drivers of the Thailand microgrid policy are 1) electricity access, 2) wealth creation and distribution, 3) environmental protection, and 4) technology development.
