Nevertheless, managing these communities presents formidable challenges, owing to the intricate nature of the task, the presence of uncertainties, and competing objectives. This paper aims to demonstrate the positive impact of incorporating a storage system into an energy community, ensuring the welfare of every community member during grid malfunctions. The research investigates two separate energy communities, considering both uncontrollable and controllable devices within individual households as consumption sources, in addition to power supply sources like PV systems installed in community residences, as well as power derived from the main grid or the storage system.2299175engEnergy communityEnergy efficiencyGenetic algorithmsStorage systemsGeneral Computer ScienceComputer Science ApplicationsComputer Networks and CommunicationsComputer Graphics and Computer-Aided DesignComputational Theory and MathematicsArtificial IntelligenceSDG 7 - Affordable and Clean Energyjournal article10.1007/s42979-024-03149-whttps://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/85201257288
