Virtual power plant (VPP) has become an important resource for reserve provision owing to its fast-responding capability. In this paper, optimal VPP operational regime considering uncertainty is proposed, which includes a novel day-ahead offering strategy and real-time dispatching model. At the stage, gives VPP’s price-dependent offers in energy market under multiple uncertainties on price, ren...

The objective of this study is to develop “Virtual Collaborator” as a new type of human-machine interface, which works as “intelligent interface agent” to help machine operators manipulating large scale machine system such as power plants. The Virtual Collaborator is a sort of “virtual robot” which behaves as if an intelligent agent robot in virtual reality space, who can communicate naturally ...

Virtual power plant (VPP) can be studied to investigate how energy is purchased or sold in the presence of electricity market price uncertainty. The VPP uses different intermittent distributed sources such as wind turbine, flexible loads, and locational marginal prices (LMPs) in order to obtain profit. VPP should propose bidding/offering curves to buy/sell from/to day-ahead market. In this pape...

A hierarchical control architecture is proposed for the optimal day-ahead commitment of multiple grid support services within a virtual power plant (VPP). The optimization considers pricing and cost data to determine schedule, robust Model Predictive Control (MPC) approach included minimize unbalance fees during real-time operations. multi-level has been demonstrated experimentally using hybrid...
