Energy security and the resilience of electricity networks have recently gained critical momentum as subjects of research. The challenges of meeting the increasing electrical energy demands and the decarbonisation efforts necessary to mitigate the effects of climate change have highlighted the importance of microgrids for the effective integration of renewable energy sources. Microgrids have been the focus of research for several years; however, there are still many unresolved challenges that need to be addressed. Energy storage systems are essential elements that provide reliability and stability in microgrids with high penetrations of renewable energy sources. This study provides a systematic review of the recent developments in the control and management of energy storage systems for microgrid applications. In the early sections, a summary of the microgrid topologies and architectures found in the recent literature is given. The main contributions and targeted applications by the energy storage systems in the microgrid applications is defined for each scenario. As various types of energy storage systems are currently being integrated for the reliable operation of the microgrids, the paper analyses the properties and limitations of the solutions proposed in the recent literature. The review that was carried out shows that a hybrid energy storage system performs better in terms of microgrid stability and reliability when compared to applications that use a simple battery energy storage system. Therefore, a case study for a DC microgrid with a hybrid energy storage system was modelled in MATLAB/Simulink. The presented results show the advantages of hybrid energy storage systems in DC microgrids.

“…An empirical correlation is made to evaluate the optimal size of the battery and the lowest payback period based on the annual electricity generation, demand, and feed-in tariff [83]. Based on the power demand profile, supply/demand matching, and flexibility requirement of the system, battery energy storage is optimally designed with a storage power and capacity of 68 kW and 6.92 MWh, respectively [95]. Caro-Ruiz et al [95] explained that even though it is possible to reach a fully autonomous condition in some cases, the trade-off between system efficiency and flexibility is a hurdle for the implementation.…”

A positive energy system that produces more renewable energy than its demand while ensuring appropriate comfort levels is an excellent path towards increasing the portion of renewable energy, reducing carbon emission, and increasing the energy system’s overall performance. In particular, it has been believed as step forward towards zero energy systems. Recent progress in positive energy building and community levels is gaining interest among different stakeholders. However, an inadequate understanding of the positive energy system is widely noticed in many projects, and a shortage of standard details on the positive energy system still prevails in the research community. Therefore, a state-of-the-art review of positive energy building and community is conducted in this paper. Firstly, this paper begins with the definitions and concepts of positive energy buildings and communities. Secondly, it comprehensively describes the energy supplies, demands, indicators, storage, energy management, roles of stakeholders, and bottlenecks of positive energy systems. Thirdly, the main differences between positive energy buildings and communities are summarized. Fourthly, the impact of smart energy grids and new energy vehicles on the positive energy buildings and communities is derived. As a conclusion, this paper shows that even though all the energy-efficient buildings such as passive buildings, nearly zero energy buildings, zero energy buildings, positive energy buildings look like an up-trending scale of renewable penetration, considerable differences are visible among all, and the same thing applies to the community level. Furthermore, considerable differences exist when comparing between positive buildings and communities regarding both the technical and economic perspectives.

“…The number of solar and wind power plants is growing rapidly. This leads to the growing need for buffer energy storage systems to smooth out peaks in production and consumption . One of the most promising types of such systems, in addition to lithium-ion batteries, are redox flow batteries (RFBs). − In RFBs, the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent are not immobilized in the electrodes but are located in separate reservoirs in the form of solutions in electrolytes (true solution, colloidal dispersion, etc.).…”

Polymer microgel particles decorated with redoxactive functional groups are a new and promising object for electrochemical applications. However, the process of charge exchange between an electrode and a microgel particle carrying numerous redox-active centers differs fundamentally from charge exchange involving only molecular species. A single act of contact between the microgel and the electrode surface may not be enough to fully discharge the microgel, and partial charge states are to be expected. Understanding the specifics of this process is crucial for the correct analysis of the data obtained from electrochemical experiments with redox-active microgel solutions. In this study, we employed coarse-grained molecular dynamics to investigate in detail the act of charge transfer from a microgel particle to a flat electrode. The simulations take into account both the mobility of functional groups carrying the charge, which depend on the microgel architecture and the charge exchange between the groups, which can accelerate the propagation of charge within the microgel volume. A set of different microgel systems were simulated in order to reveal the impact of their characteristics: fraction of redox-active groups, microgel molecular mass, cross-linker content, cross-linking topology, and solvent quality. We have found trends in microgel composition leading to the most efficient charge transfer kinetics. The obtained results would be useful for understanding experimental results and for optimizing the design of redox-active microgel particles aimed at faster discharge rates.
