Abstract
This paper investigates the implementation of a community energy storage system (CESS) in a neighborhood consisting of households with flexible and inflexible loads, as well as photovoltaic power generation. The system incorporates overlay services (OS) such as fairness management, increasing the fairness level while maximizing CESS utilization, and reputation management, reducing the impact of households trying to take advantage of the system. Additionally, a credit scheme for households, referred to as the quota system, is introduced, allowing households to only import from the battery the amount of energy they have previously contributed. This quota system includes a way to trade credit with other households, as part of the OS. The case study shows that the introduction of the OS on top of a CESS of 50 kWh results in a drop in peak transformer load from 235.7% to 166.9%, with the peak load at 264.3% without a CESS present. Additionally, it is shown that introducing these OS in a CESS does not significantly impact the mean household cost.
