Abstract
Energy communities are emerging as important local actors to help accelerate decarbonisation of the energy sector. By increasing uptake of distributed generation from renewable energy sources, energy communities can take advantage of the benefits provided by local clean energy usage in different ways. In this context, this paper presents a strategy for optimal planning of renewablebased community energy systems for island-mode operation during prolonged outages. The proposed method is formulated as a mixed-integer quadratic problem aimed at minimising the expected energy not supplied subject to operating constraints of the network and resource constraints on the number of distributed generation units that can be installed in the network. Furthermore, it is demonstrated in a realistic network model using representative datasets of renewable energy and load demand profiles in Bristol, UK.
