Energy storage systems enable buildings to manage their energy consumption more dynamically, supporting grid stability and preventing blackouts. Additionally, energy storage enhances building resilience by providing a backup power source during outages, ensuring critical operations continue uninterrupted.
Electrical energy storage plays a critical role in buildings with renewable energy supply, particularly due to the intermittent and unstable nature of renewable energy sources. Energy storage systems efficiently process and store excess renewable energy generated in a building to supply energy when needed.
In addition, energy management transactions and grid integration for smart buildings are reviewed considering innovative technologies including artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, blockchain and peer-to-peer trading to improve the application of renewable energy-electrical energy storage technologies in buildings.
While control strategies and energy efficiency optimization of energy storage systems [45, 73] show significant potential for building applications, further research is needed to address the integration and coordination of various energy storage forms.
They used a battery storage system to reduce these loads and demands, demonstrating a reduction in grid overloads from increased consumption and a doubling of the share of locally consumed PV energy.
The capability to store energy allows building operators increased demand flexibility, an essential component of grid-integrated efficient buildings. When you can store energy, you can control the level and timing of when you use energy or return it to the grid.
