N2 - The recent shift towards decentralized electricity systems, coupled with efforts in decarbonization and evolving societal needs, is generating various application scenarios, including the concept of Nanogrids (NGs). The term “Nanogrids” refers to small, either off-grid or grid-connected systems that utilize renewable energy sources and operate in islanded or grid-connected modes. This paper synthesizes current research on NGs offering insights into their classification, operational modes, energy management, and reliability within building-based contexts. Despite the variety of methods and technologies discussed in existing studies, there is a noticeable gap in the literature concerning the categorization of nanogrid applications in the context of buildings. This paper aims to fill that gap by systematically organizing the discussed technologies and methodologies, providing valuable references and guidelines for researchers.
