Implementing European Experiences of Energy Community Strategy Based on High Utilization of Renewable Energy Sources to Distributed Power Grids in Ukrainian Conditions

Abstract

The paper focuses on the project of photovoltaic systems for the power supply of the energy communities (EC) in distributed grids in Ukrainian war conditions. The situation in ukrainian power grid is characterized with overloaded and obsolete conventional power sources and transmission stations and chaotic development of renewable energy sources. The main task of this study is to help develop strategy of smart and efficient usage of newly build RES in preselected communities to help to stabilize the main network and to ensure higher energy resilience of particular municipalities. The paper deals with simulation and optimization of the energy community creation and with proposal of covering the energy needs. The case study is based on the set of preselected locations and shows the optimization process of proposed photovoltaic system for the power supply and high temperature battery for efficient energy storage.
