Summary of findings and limitations The case study's results, summarized in Table 7, demonstrated that the scope and economic potential of different energy storage technologies and configurations (single and hybrid) for improving the energy performance of an urban energy community depends on (and varies with) its built context (form and function).
Case study The case study intends to demonstrate the merits of the analytical framework and exhibit the influence of urban context on energy storage prospects. It evaluates and compares the techno-economic potential of ESSs (of single and hybrid types) for improving the performance of energy communities of different urban built types.
An expanded version of this model (Mussawar et al., 2023) covered both the community and individual configurations of prosumer buildings to study the performance potential of urban energy communities with respect to their built form and function (land-area wise proportions of different building use-types).
The aspiration of urban sustainability cannot be materialized without the transformation of the buildings sector (IEA, 2021) because it accounts for >50 % of electricity consumption and almost 30 % of final energy consumption worldwide (IEA, 2019).
A common energy storage system (s t) is considered for matching the energy demand and supply of the buildings (prosumers) in an urban area. The self-consumption of onsite-produced energy (s s t) by the buildings and the energy exchange (e e t) with the electric utility occurs collectively assuming an energy community configuration.
Economic potential of energy storage type varies with the built context. Li-ion batteries are economically viable solution for self-sufficiency improvement. Reversible fuel cells are suitable as a long-term storage solution.
