Overview
It is clear that renewable energies offer a workable answer to the issues of excessive CO2 emissions and rising energy demand. Renewable energy systems are essential for sustainable development plans for smart cities and communities, despite the fact that they are not currently reliable and cost-competitive in many jurisdictions. The energy systems in smart cities, societies and communities have several features, such as a key role of renewable energy systems, concrete integration of energy systems, active interactions of different energy sectors, the utilization of the most advanced clean energy technologies, and the lowest rates of losses using local energy systems. Although renewable energies have attracted much attention during the last decades, their major issues include high initial investment, high maintenance cost and intermittency.

Special issue information:
Our energy infrastructure can be made more resilient, safe, and environmentally benign with the help of smart energy storage devices. These systems are made to store and distribute electricity effectively, allowing us to get around issues like intermittent renewable energy sources, unstable grids, and rising demand. Resilience is a key aspect of smart energy storage systems. By storing excess electricity during times of low demand or high generation, these systems ensure a stable and reliable power supply during periods of high demand or low generation. With this capability, the risk of blackouts or interruptions during periods of high demand or unforeseen events is decreased and the grid may be managed more effectively. Another important factor in energy storage is safety. Advanced monitoring and control techniques are incorporated into smart systems to guarantee the secure operation of storage units. They can detect potential issues such as overheating, overcharging, or voltage fluctuations, mitigating the risk of accidents or equipment failure. Additionally, these systems are often equipped with fail-safe mechanisms, such as automatic shut-off features, to prevent hazardous situations and protect both users and the surrounding environment. Furthermore, smart energy storage systems contribute significantly to environmental sustainability. They facilitate the integration of renewable energy sources into the grid by addressing the intermittency challenge.
In summary, smart energy storage systems offer multiple benefits for resilience, safety, and the environment. They enhance the resilience of our energy infrastructure, ensuring a stable and reliable power supply during peak demand and emergencies. Through advanced monitoring and control, they prioritize safety, preventing accidents and equipment failures. Therefore, smart energy storage plays a vital role in the deployment of renewable energies for smart energy systems.
