Distributed Energy Resources Aggregation and Optimization Scheduling Model and Algorithm for Virtual Power Plants

With the ongoing energy transition and power system reform, Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) are playing an increasingly important role in modern power systems. DERs mainly include distributed photovoltaics, distributed wind power, small hydropower, biomass energy, fuel cells, and controllable loads, characterized by decentralized deployment and local consumption. The large-scale integration of these resources presents new opportunities and challenges for power systems. Effectively coordinating and managing these distributed energy resources has become a hot research topic.
