This article provides a state-of-the-art review on emerging applications of smart tools such as data analytics and smart technologies such as Internet-of-things (IoT) in case of design, management and control of energy storage systems. In particular, we have established a classification of the types and targets of various predictive analytics for estimation of load, energy prices, renewable energy inputs, state of the charge, fault diagnosis, etc. In addition, the applications of information technologies, in particular, use of cloud, IoT systems, building management systems (BMS) and building information modeling (BIM) and their contributions tomanagement of energy storage systems will be reviewed in details. The paper concludes by highlighting the emerging issues in smart energy storage systems and providing directions for future research.

An optimal energy management is addressed in the residential building. The residential building is equipped with renewable energies including wind turbines and solar panels. The uncertainty of renewable energies is modeled by stochastic programming. The demand response program is simultaneously adopted to handle such uncertainty and reducing the energy cost. In this respect, four different loads are modeled in the building including interruptible, constant energy, constant power, and uninterruptible loads. The aforementioned loads are properly adjusted and dispatched for minimizing the energy cost as well as to deal with renewable energy intermittency. The bidirectional operation is modeled for the building and it can send energy to the grid or receive it from the upstream network. The results verify that the introduced model can efficiently harvest all possible energy of the wind-solar system, handle the uncertainty, minimize the cost, and operate as off-grid. All of these purposes are achieved by optimal dispatching and adjusting of the loads through the proposed demand response program. 2019 Elsevier Ltd Scopus 2-s2.0-85076009468
