Abstract
The transition toward a net-zero emissions economy is increasingly driven by the escalating impacts of climate change. Energy communities (ECs) can support this transition by reducing reliance on fossil fuel based upstream generation and by providing flexibility services. Electric vehicles (EVs) can further contribute to decarbonisation by operating as distributed battery storage for small-scale systems. This paper simulates, as realistically as possible, an energy community that uses EVs as a battery energy storage system (BESS) instead of a stationary storage system, with the objective of minimising energy costs under several operational scenarios.
