Although previous studies almost universally conclude that shared energy storage reduces investment and operational costs and improves storage use, increases solar-power consumption, shaves peak demand, etc., our study provides a more fair comparison of individual and shared energy-storage operations than the simulation techniques.
The results of the numerical experiments show that shared energy storage has economic and operational benefits over individual energy storage. Specifically, cost savings between 2.53% and 13.82% and energy storage utilization improvements between 3.71% and 38.98% exist when using shared energy storage instead of individual energy storage.
With shared energy storage, multiple consumers will have access to the energy storage by charging and discharging the energy storage depending on their own needs. In this case, consumers can reduce the burden of the installation of energy storage by sharing initial investment costs.
When multiple residential consumers share energy storage, the operations of the shared energy storage become more complex because of the consumers’ varying electricity demand loads and solar power generations.
This result shows that as capacity increases the shared energy storage cost decreases faster than the individual energy storage cost. Based on this result, changing the capacity has a larger effect on shared energy storage. The daily utilization for the different energy storage capacities is analyzed and compared in Fig. 5b.
Consumers sharing energy storage have access to the energy charged to the storage by other consumers which acts as an additional energy supply that helps reduce electricity costs. Hence, there have been significant efforts to implement shared energy storage in residential communities.
