Peter Asmus of Navigant Research explains how virtual power plants and energy storage offered a rapid solution to a grid deficiency in California. Peter Asmus, Navigant Research. A little over a year ago, the underground Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility began leaking. While the primary concern was how methane emissions

What is a Virtual Power Plant? A Virtual Power Plant (VPP for short) is a network of energy storage systems that are centrally managed by software to provide energy to the grid during times of peak demand. Virtual Power Plants allow renewable energy to be harnessed quickly, keeping the network stable and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

Virtual power plants (VPPs) provide energy balance, frequency regulation, and new energy consumption services for the

These small individual grids can be combined to constitute a virtual power plant. Virtual power plants are simple architecture where numerous generators can be infused into the network using smart technologies (Landsbergen, 2009). Thus in a virtual power plant, it is possible to integrate divergent energy resources (Kumagai, 2012) Fig. 1.

VPP – P2030.14 PAR – definition and scope. VPP – defined as an aggregated resources capable of supplying electrical power to the electric grid and local loads. Scope – implementation of VPP controller and the basic functional requirements, defining a set of controller core functions. VPP Controller functions – asset management

A virtual power plant (VPP) can be defined as the integration of decentralized units into one centralized control system. A VPP consists of generation sources and energy storage units. In this article, based on real measurements, the charging and discharging characteristics of the battery energy storage system (BESS) were

With emergence of Flexible Renewable Virtual Power Plants (FRVPPs) as the aggregator of renewable energy systems and flexibility resources such as demand response programs and electric vehicles (EVs) in the Smart Distribution Network (SDN), FRVPPs are expected to have significant capability resiliency enhancement against

Specifically, Fig. 1 illustrates the four main components of a VPP: unstable resources, the VPP aggregators, VPP management centers of the grid, and adjustable resources. The unstable resources, especially generators like wind power and PV, are the main reasons for the establishing of VPP. It is important to emphasize that besides the

An energy management system (EMS) for the flexible operation of power plants based on generation-integrated thermal energy storage (TES) has been proposed and applied to an existing 670 MW el Rankine-cycle nuclear power plant operated by EdF as a case study. The options of steam extraction before the reheater and/or before the

From the outside, the VPP looks like a single power production facility that publishes one schedule of operation and can be optimised from a single remote site. From the inside, the VPP can combine a rich diversity of independent resources into a network via the sophisticated planning, scheduling, and bidding of DER-based services. Peter Asmus
