Abstract

The use of nanogrids (hybrid power supply systems of nominal power not exceeding 100kW) integrating energy sources, energy storage components, load at end-user level, increase the selfconsumption and in the same time in an opportune coordinated management model may give rise to a virtual nonsumer community—in the sense that the entire community can become essentially self-sufficient in terms of net kWhs purchased from the grid, or in some cases, become a net generator of energy. The nanogrid nonsumer community may improve the stability, the reliability, the continuity of the energy supply, the security and the resilience of the grid providing a distributed versatile flexibility and balancing services. The chapter discusses the management of energy storage systems in nanogrids for a virtual nonsumer community. Firstly, the role of energy storage systems as distributed flexibility is explored. Then, the configuration of nanogrid with Energy Storage Systems and the energy management for virtual nonsumer community are illustrated. Finally, a case study is discussed.
