EXTENDED DEMAND RESPONSE AS TOOL FOR OPTIMAL MANAGEMENT OF VIRTUAL POWER PLANTS
Abstract
In the context of deregulated energy market, energy companies need a flexible and efficient framework for energy trading. Along with concerns regarding environment issues, deregulation determined an increased share of sm all and medium renewable energy power plants. With these came along challenges in operation regarding their variability and the lack of central monitoring. Aggregation of distributed energy sources led to the concept of virtual power plant, which brings ad advantages as a better control of production units and also a better visibility for the system operator. In this paper, the authors propose an optimal management solution which can offer to a virtual power plant the capability to sell complete services, both for production and demand side management, leading to the decrease of the necessary reserve for balance.
