“…Very often, however, in the context of ensuring self-sufficiency and self-consumption, solutions for one (several) technical facility are considered and most often they concern the use of photovoltaic installations cooperating with electricity storage, both in the on-grid system and those not connected to the power grid (off-grid). Many such solutions are described in the literature [27,31,33,[74][75][76][77][78][79]. Most of them are at the conceptual stage or at the stage of mathematical modeling.…”

“…A multi-agent and multi-level model for analyzing the impact of collective selfconsumption of an energy community (group of households) in which contracted and centralized energy exchange between members of the community was analyzed in various energy storage configurations (individual energy storage for each member of the cooperative and collective energy storage) is presented in [79]. Based on the obtained results, it was found that individual energy storage has a negative impact on energy exchange and balancing.…”

“…A similar solution was presented in [83], where a hybrid energy storage system (lithium-ion storage and supercapacitor) was used in photovoltaic installations of 93 households in a rural commune. Supercapacitors have also been found to improve system performance by increasing battery life while reducing peak battery current and peak power [79].…”

In recent years, the idea of the operation of energy systems (power systems, heating systems) has changed significantly. This paper is an overview of locally balanced energy systems without the use of fossil fuels. The paper justifies the concept of local energy balancing in a new energy system that does not use fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and crude oil), based on European Union guidelines and formal documents as well as the literature on the subject. In this context, the issue of local energy self-sufficiency, utilizing renewable energy sources, as well as the concept of local smart grids based on innovative market mechanisms are raised. Attention is also paid to technical issues with regard to locally balanced energy systems, in particular photovoltaic sources and energy storage. Challenges related to the use of electrical protection in networks with many sources of energy are described. In such networks, the power flow is not in one direction only. Moreover, the selection of protections is problematic due to the distribution of short-circuit currents. Additionally, earth fault currents in such networks may be distorted, and this negatively affects the operation of residual current devices. The basic nomenclature describing locally balanced systems has been sorted out as well. Finally, possible future research paths in the field of creating locally balanced systems without the use of fossil fuels are presented.

Optimization of Large-Scale Battery Storage Capacity in Conjunction with Photovoltaic Systems for Maximum Self-Sustainability

The photovoltaic array has gained popularity in the global electrical market. At the same time, battery storage, which is recently being placed by energy consumers alongside photovoltaics, continues to fall in price. Domestic and community loads may be combined utilizing central battery storage and shared solar power through an integrated grid or microgrid system. One of the main targets is maximum self-sustainability and independence of the microgrid system and implemented solution. This research study looks at the energy flows in a single household system that includes solar arrays and battery storage. The analysed household system is represented by a model which uses real load profiles from experimental measurements, local solar distribution, and onsite weather data. The results show that depending on the system configuration, two important parameters, self-consumption and self-sufficiency, can vary significantly. For a properly designed photovoltaic system, the energy self-consumption can be up to 90.19%, while self-sufficiency can be up to 82.55% for analysed cases. As an outcome, a large sample size with a variety of setups is recommended for a thorough examination of self-sustainability. Regional variations can worsen under different weather conditions, different photovoltaic and battery capacities, and different municipal rules.

“…Sustainable education and trust among the younger generations may foster the development of innovative models for balancing ecosystems, combining socio-economic development with environmental protection 25 . Energy communities place human activity at the center of all electricity consumption 26 and, in this way, represent new social models for the ecological transition 27 . While economic analyses have been applied to quantify the profits associated with these communities, new models are needed to propose the distribution of that wealth.…”

In this article, we analyze the role of social capital in the formation of sustainable energy communities. Specifically, we study the impact of different dimensions of social capital (i.e., structural, relational, cognitive) in determining willingness to participate in an energy community. Our survey data suggest that social contexts contribute to the development of energy communities, via (at least) two channels: (i) a family path, with individual perspectives showing a partial correlation with those of at least one relative, and (ii) a social channel, with higher social trust and greater interaction with neighbors favoring the propensity to participate in an energy community. The social coordination required for the formation of sustainable energy communities is determined by the quality of social interactions, and the spread of virtuous behavior is determined by not only economic policies (i.e., incentives), but also forward-looking policies favoring local aggregation and the creation of high-quality social capital. Thus, local actions and interactions can contribute to solving global climate change challenges.
