The proposed solution is a “Smart Energy Sharing Network” that enables consumers (private households, public buildings, etc.) to store and/or share their excess green energy production within a local energy community. The network will function through a smart energy management system that allows consumers to directly allocate surplus energy to other members of the community, such as local hospitals, schools, or public infrastructure. The system would bypass the current overloaded national grid by creating a decentralized, city-level energy market for efficient energy distribution.
By creating energy communities, surplus energy generated within the city can be efficiently redistributed within the local network rather than relying solely on the national grid. This solves the issue of energy wastage due to the limitations of the grid. The consumers will have the flexibility to choose where their excess energy goes, either storing it in the local storage or allowing for targeted support of critical local infrastructures reducing their energy costs and dependence on traditional energy sources. This decentralized solution eases the burden on the national grid, addresses the primary issue of grid overload, and ensures that the city’s energy production is fully utilized.
