Dynamic Virtual Power Plant: A New Concept for Grid Integration of Renewable Energy Sources

The concept of Virtual Power Plant (VPP) has arisen over a decade ago from the relatively low competitiveness back then emerging non-dispatchable RES. A set smaller generators imitates behavior large synchronous generators. So far, static aspects such as generation or slow dynamics have been interest, it is case for zonal secondary frequency control scheme in Spain, which can be viewed VPP. However, considering dynamic high importance, especially to further increase current penetration level Renewable Energy Sources (RES). Indeed, one should deal with full participation RES grid ancillary services. This means not only get some positive impact on voltage and but bring concepts allow integrating existing regulation schemes same classic For that, we propose here new called Dynamic VPP (DVPP) fully integrates at all levels: locally (for each generator), globally services interaction other close-by elements grid) economically internal optimal dispatch electricity markets). DVPP dispatchable along common operation procedures. latter procedures include choice constituting DVPP, local objectives single unit (especially loss natural resources - e.g., wind, sun part DVPP), limitation risk adversely feasibility both power systems scenarios future ones share framework approaches developed its implementation allows ensuring mixed portfolio planning, markets real-time control. control, time-scale are considered improve management (internal re-dispatch inside take advantage dispatchable/non-dispatchable nature optimally manage lack regions DVPP) their Concrete structures well ways address economical will shown. now under development H2020 POSYTYF project (https://posytyf-h2020.eu/).
