Abstract
The European Commission introduced recently the new concept of energy communities which are aiming at accelerating the energy transition. RE/SOURCED, which stands for Renewable Energy SOlutions for URban communities based on Circular Economy policies and Dc backbones, is a project that aims at implementing a renewable energy community at the former power plant site in Belgium. One of the novel aspects of the project is the interconnection of the different energy storage systems and renewable energy sources by means of a LVDC backbone. In this paper, a power flow analysis of the LVDC backbone is performed in order to determine the appropriate cable size. Based on this analyses the energy losses are computed for a LVDC backbone architecture. Subsequently, the benefit in terms of energy savings, self-consumption and self-sufficiency is investigated compared to the traditional grid architecture.
