- Abstract
Stimulated by the severe energy crisis and the increasing awareness about the need for environmental protection, the efficient use of renewable energy has become a hot topic. The virtual power plant (VPP) is an effective way of integrating distributed energy systems (DES) by effectively deploying them in power grid dispatching or electricity trading. In this paper, the operating mode of the VPP with penetration of wind power, solar power and energy storage is investigated. Firstly, the grid-connection requirements of VPP according to the current wind and solar photovoltaic (PV) grid-connection requirements, and analyzed its profitability are examined. Secondly, under several typical scenarios grouped by a self-organization map (SOM) clustering algorithm using the VPP's output data, a profit optimization model is established as a guideline for the VPP's optimal operation. Based on this model, case studies are performed and the results indicate that this model is both feasible and effective.
