“…Indeed, the REDII gives a first definition of what RECs could be. Starting from the definition of renewables self-consumers and jointly acting renewables self-consumers [3], the energy Community is defined. A renewables self-consumer is defined as a final customer who generates renewable electricity for their own consumption and who may store or sell self-generated renewable electricity activity.…”

“…The differences from RECs are that they may engage in generation, including from renewable sources, distribution, supply, consumption, aggregation, energy storage, energy efficiency services or charging services for electric vehicles or provide other energy services. Another main difference seems to be the proximity aspect that characterizes the RECs [3] instead of the participation of CECs that can be spread over the territory.…”

“…The RECs aim for the participation of individuals to improve the local acceptance of renewable energy, local investment and improved participation of citizens in the energy transition [3]. The RECs will produce, consume, store and sell renewable energy, share produced renewable energy within the community and access energy markets in an integral way [3].…”

It is known that the energy transition can be achieved not only with the use of renewable energy sources but also with a new conception and management of the electricity system. Renewable energy communities are then introduced as organizations for maximizing the self-consumption of energy produced from renewable energy sources. To ensure that these energy communities can operate, there is a need for enabling technologies that allow for monitoring, data and algorithms processing as well as the enabling of the same algorithms. There exists a huge confusion in the actual technologies useful to implement the energy communities. This paper first describes and groups the main enabling technologies, analyzing the services that can be offered. The scope is to emphasize the importance of having accurate, efficient and effective technologies that allow the implementation of such communities, underlining how such technologies interact with each other. Using such technologies is important to observing the possible technical and energetic results; indeed, use cases concerning the use of these enabling technologies are proposed and analyzed, showing their operating and their good environmental and energy impact.

“…This definition is not only adopted and/or referenced by all papers using the term REC [10,11,22,30,44,72] but the phrase that ECs can "produce, consume, store and sell renewable energy" summarizes all the definitions found in literature. Another term often used in the context of ECs is the concept of a cooperation where people (members) run and own operating equipment as a collective.…”

The introduction of the Clean energy for all Europeans package by the European Union (EU) led to a significant boost of public and research interest in energy communities. However, since neither their definition nor their goals are clearly defined, there is a very broad field of research on this topic. This paper aims to classify existing research on energy communities and to analyze what this umbrella term looks like in the literature. First, a literature review is conducted with regard to energy communities that have a local scope and are community-owned. The analysis of the results leads to the determination of the following categories for the existing literature on energy communities: the terminology used to refer to energy communities, components of energy communities, and their characteristics and structure. The review affirms that space-saving and easily constructible components are used the most, with photovoltaics (PV) and storage at the forefront. Our results also show that a third-party aggregator can be a vital part of an energy community with various functions, from managing the community’s energy flow and local market to trading energy with the grid. Taking this into consideration, we conclude that the use of aggregators is a good way to make the formation of energy communities easier, especially for people without an engineering background.
