Imbalance Minimization in Virtual Power Plants using Industrial Demand Response

Virtual Power Plants can aggregate and dispatch distributed energy sources (DER) to gain revenue in the Day-Ahead market, however as a Balancing Responsible Party they can risk imbalance cost due to deviations between the Day-Ahead forecast and actual production of their renewable energy portfolio. This study analyses the ability of industrial...

Digital Twin Application for Congestion Management in Distribution Network

High penetration of rooftop PV generation in the distribution network increases the variability of power flows and the frequency of network and hence congestions occurs at various network locations of the network. Congestions have various defects such as it deteriorates network performance, power quality and therefore can lead to a shutdown by...

Impact Analysis of a Virtual Power Plant

The development of the renewable industry is still accelerating. The Netherlands contributes to roughly 1,5 GW solar PV capacity and domestic PV systems are increasingly popular. Another aggressively growing energy technology which is currently reaching its maturity is energy storage, which is also indicated as a “missing link to renewable...

Feasibility, beneficiality, and institutional compatibility of a micro-CHP virtual power plant in the Netherlands

Dutch households are responsible for a significant part of the total Dutch energy consumption and CO2 emissions. One option for decreasing household energy consumption and CO2 emissions is to deploy micro-combined-heat-power (?CHP) units. A micro-CHP virtual power plant (VPP) is a cluster of grid connected ?CHP units that is monitored and...
