“…The methods employed in the reviewed literature (cf. Table 5) range from simple energy balancing calculations (e. g. [71,100,105]) to simulations (e. g. [80,95,103]), metaheuristics (e. g. genetic algorithm [70], discrete harmony search [89], artificial bee swarm optimization [90,91] or flower pollination algorithm [114]), mixedinteger linear optimizations (e. g. [31]) and multi-objective optimizations (e. g. [113]). When investigating the methods, it is striking that in most cases only simplified calculations are carried out.…”

Research attention on decentralized autonomous energy systems has increased exponentially in the past three decades, as demonstrated by the absolute number of publications and the share of these studies in the corpus of energy system modelling literature. This paper shows the status quo and future modelling needs for research on local autonomous energy systems. A total of 359 studies are roughly investigated, of which a subset of 123 in detail. The studies are assessed with respect to the characteristics of their methodology and applications, in order to derive common trends and insights. Most case studies apply to middle-income countries and only focus on the supply of electricity in the residential sector. Furthermore, many of the studies are comparable regarding objectives and applied methods. Local energy autonomy is associated with high costs, leading to levelized costs of electricity of 0.41 $/kWh on average. By analysing the studies, many improvements for future studies could be identified: the studies lack an analysis of the impact of autonomous energy systems on surrounding energy systems. In addition, the robust design of autonomous energy systems requires higher time resolutions and extreme conditions. Future research should also develop methodologies to consider local stakeholders and their preferences for energy systems.

“…In [33], a decision tree based optimal planning of BESSs along with energy balancing control algorithm is proposed for planned community microgrids. Sameti et al [62], present an optimal design and operation concept of net-zero district by integrating BESS. An energy storage control algorithm is proposed in [63] for residential community microgrids aiming to reduce the operating cost of the system.…”

In this article, a new business model considering multiple stakeholders is proposed to develop a framework for third-party investment and future flexible retail electricity market in community microgrids. The proposed two-stage optimisation platform generates opportunities for multiple stakeholders to invest in the design of community microgrids, comprising multiple and different distributed energy resources such as renewable generation units, battery energy storage systems, and micro diesel engines, to minimize daily operational costs of the system. To proliferate the prosumers in retail energy markets as per the Office of Gas and Electricity Markets, United Kingdom, a peer-to-peer energy trading and energy management scheme is also proposed. The optimal sizing of urban and remote community microgrids are determined in stage-1, followed by their optimal operations to minimise the daily operating cost of the community system in stage-2. An improved version of the genetic algorithm is employed to optimise decision variables in both the stages. Different cases are investigated which show the tremendous potential of revenue generation for all stakeholders while effectively optimizing techno-economic operations of microgrids.

“…Both production and consumption of energy allows them to interact with energy systems and other buildings. Extending from individual NZEBs, optimized operation of buildings and DER within a district served by a micro-grid is essential for designing net zero energy districts (NZEDs) [110]. Evaluation of interactions within a micro-grid allows for more successful use of a district's electricity generation as well as district heating resources, which can ultimately result in 100 % renewable energy systems [111].…”

Buildings are widely regarded as potential sources for demand flexibility. The flexibility of thermal and electric load in buildings is a result of their interactive nature and its impact on the building’s performance. In this paper, the interaction of a building with the three interaction counterparts of the physical environment, civil infrastructure networks and other buildings is investigated. The literature review presents a wide variety of pathways of interaction and their associated potential impacts on building performance metrics such as net energy use, emissions, occupant comfort and operational cost. It is demonstrated that all of these counterparts of interaction should be considered to harness the flexibility potential of the buildings while maintaining other buildings performance metrics at a desired level. Juxtaposed with the upside potential for providing demand flexibility, numerous implementation challenges are identified that are associated with the evaluation and financial valuation of the capacity for demand flexibility, the aggregated flexibility potential, as well as the control and communication to facilitate the interactions.
