Abstract

This study quantifies the yearly electricity self-sufficiency rate and self-consumption rate of a small energy community for different distributed energy resources. The efficacy of different technologies on grid-independency are presented for varying community goals and resident comfort levels. The study simulates demand side management of appliances using a non-linear integer programming algorithm. Results show that the efficacy of distributed energy resources is highly dependent on resident engagement and community goals and highlight the importance of defining goals and values of residents before constructing community energy systems.
