The future electricity networks would require backup power as stored energy in order to respond to different kinds of variation and uncertainty. The electrical storages, as one potential type, could be utilized in all scales including the end-user scale. However, utilizing different types of electrical storage on the demand side, e.g. in active buildings, could be challenging due to their operational requirements and their applications. Therefore, the first step is to answer the question that what kind of electrical storage could be utilized in active buildings? What are their characteristics and technology requirements? and which one could be more applicable compared to the others?
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
