(Universiteit Leiden) Nikolic, I. (TU Delft System Engineering) Ghorbani, Amineh (TU Delft Energy and Industry) Contributor Czupryna, Marcin (editor) Kamiński, Bogumił (editor) Date 2022 Abstract Energy communities are gaining momentum in the context of the energy transition. Given the distributed and collective action nature of energy communities, energy security of these local energy systems is more than just security of supply and related to issues such as affordability and acceptability of energy to members of the community. We build an agent-based model of energy communities to explore their security challenges. The security dimensions we consider are availability, affordability, accessibility and acceptability, which are referred to as the 4As. The results confirmed that there is always a trade-off between all four dimensions and that although it is difficult to achieve a high energy security performance, it is feasible. Results also showed that among factors influencing energy security, the investment of the community plays the biggest role.
