A Virtual power plant is defined as an information and communications technology system with the following primary functionalities: enhancing renewable generation, aggregating Distributed Energy Resources monetizing them considering relevant energy contracts or markets. virtual also includes secondary functionalities such forecasting load, market prices well asset management related to distribu...

The current electricity market fails to consider the energy consumption characteristics of transaction subjects such as virtual power plants. Besides, game relationship between needs be further explored. This paper proposes a Peer-to-Peer trading method for multi-virtual plants based on non-cooperative game. Firstly, coordinated control model public buildings is incorporated into scheduling fra...

To integrate large-scale renewable energy into systems, an effective participation from private investors and active customer engagement are essential. Virtual power plants (VPPs) a very promising approach. realize this engagement, efficient monitoring control system needs to be implemented for the VPP flexible, scalable, secure, cost-effective. In paper, realistic in Western Australia is studi...

Over time, distribution systems have begun to include increased distributed energy resources (DERs) due the advancement of auxiliary power electronics, information and communication technologies (ICT), cost reductions. Electric vehicles (EVs) will undoubtedly join community alongside DERs, transfers from grids vice versa become more extensive in future. Virtual plants (VPPs) also play a key rol...

active filters have proven to be more effective than passive techniques to improve power quality and to solve harmonic and power factor problems due to nonlinear loads. this paper proposes a control scheme based on the instantaneous active and reactive power. the inverter of this active filter is a three-phase, two-level converter. space vector technique is used as modulators and pattern genera...

this paper proposes an optimal power flow (opf) algorithm by direct load control (dlc) programs to optimize the operational cost of smart grids considering various scenarios based on different constraints. the cost function includes active power production cost of available power sources and a novel flexible load curtailment cost associated with dlc programs. the load curtailment cost is based ...
