Based on a generic HPS superstructure, the formulation considers various power losses from conversion, transfer and storage, and explores the possibilities of load shifting. Both sequential and simultaneous design approaches are presented to determine the minimum electricity cost and the minimum total annual cost, respectively, as well as the required energy storage capacity. An illustrative case study is solved to demonstrate the application of the proposed methodology. ? 2017 Elsevier B.V.Load shiftingLow-carbon technologyOptimisationRenewable energy[SDGs]SDG7book part10.1016/B978-0-444-63965-3.50407-42-s2.0-85041377643https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85041377643&doi=10.1016%2fB978-0-444-63965-3.50407-4&partnerID=40&md5=28373523c306f83d2fd88269e5fc3a12
