Daniele Menniti, Anna Pinnarelli, and Nicola Sorrentino discuss the importance of energy storage systems and enabling technologies for Renewable Energy Communities (RECs).

Energy storage systems are essential for RECs, because collects all the energy generated by photovoltaic panels and wind turbines, during daylight hours, continue to distribute it during the night when the energy demand is higher. This provide to increase consumption within RECs and reduces reliance on the electrical grid.

Enabling technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning can help improve the efficiency and effectiveness of RECs. For example, artificial intelligence can optimize energy management within RECs, ensuring that generated energy is used efficiently and sustainably. Machine learning can be employed to develop predictive models for energy demand, aiding RECs in more efficiently planning energy production and distribution. Read the article here
