The availability of electric vehicle (EV) charging facilities is crucial to the EV application, which is a promising solution to minimize fossil oil consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Nevertheless, satisfying EV charging requests through the electric grid might result in grid destabilization owing to a rapid spike in load profile. The effective implementation of an optimized renewable energy (RE)-based hybrid energy storage system (HESS) can reduce the sudden impact of EV charging o...

In this paper, the feasibility analysis of H2 and Battery based Power-to-Power (P2P) systems are presented from a techno-economic perspective. For this study, 21 small islands of France based in Europe are selected, being naturally endowed with renewable energy sources (RES) of solar and wind. For each island, three distinct energy storage options, i.e., hydrogen storage, battery storage and hydrogen + battery combined storage are discussed and explored. Optimum sizing of RES and P2P systems are...
