A dynamic aggregation strategy for VPPs to engage in electricity market trading. The virtual power plant (VPP) provides an effective way for the coordinated and optimized operation of distributed energy resources (DERs).
It includes details on the energy that was purchased from and sold to the grid, as well as the energy used by the VPP. The provided data on hourly, daily, monthly and yearly energy transactions reveals a dynamic scenario of energy exchange within the Virtual Power Plant (VPP).
In this article, it is proposed to dynamically cluster the energy storage systems into several virtual power plants based on the energy storage systems’ power demands and capacities. This results in reduced network power losses.
When the acquired frequency control requirements and resource regulation characteristics change due to changes in grid dynamics or user habits, the virtual power plant can implement a dynamic aggregation mechanism based on a threshold. Then, the dynamic aggregation mechanism is divided into two parts: resources selection and coordination.
However, the study does not specifically focus on the consolidation of VPPs, an aspect that is crucial for successful market engagement and scalability. Ayana et al. examined the optimal arrangement of Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) in light of distributed generation and energy storage within the context of a carbon rights trading system.
Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) have surfaced as a feasible and promising solution for the smooth incorporation of different distributed energy resources (DERs) into the electrical grid system, ensuring maximum efficiency.
