Integrated analysis of Renewable Energy Communities: energy and economic perspectives with battery simulation at Pod and Community levels

The primary objective of this document is to conduct an in-depth analysis of single pod and further Renewable Energy Communities (RECs) with the aim of shedding light on their fundamental attributes and their potential viability. This analysis will examine these communities' essential traits as well as their viability and evaluating both energy and economic analysis. Additionally, it aims to clarify the crucial position that RECs can assume within the broader context of the national energy landscape and the local electricity market. This study also focuses on integration of batteries within renewable energy community to further to reduce peak load stress which enhance grid stability and reduce reliance on fossil fuel. In economic analysis the financial feasibility of renewable energy community and moreover single pod’s battery and community’ battery will be carried out. To achieve the goal of this study, a comprehensive examination of a specific case study in Italy will be undertaken which serves as a valuable lens through which deeper insights into various facets can be gained.
