“…There are a few works in the literature that review the concepts related to DR, VPP, P2P and TE. Examples of these works include [8]- [17], which cover miscellaneous concepts related to DR, [18]- [22] in topic area of VPP, [23]- [27] on P2P trading concepts, and a few recent works [28]- [35] about TE mechanisms. As it will be better described and detailed in the next section, existing works have discussed DR, VPP, P2P, and TE essentially in a distinct way, but a comprehensive study on the requirements of a two-sided market also comparing and contrasting these approaches is still lacking.…”

The transition in the energy sector, initiated by increasing uptake of distributed energy resources (DER) and grid digitization, provides opportunities to improve energy efficiency through electricity market reformation. The development of a two-sided market allows delivering benefits of improved efficiency to energy customers. This paper discusses the opportunities and challenges related to transitioning to a two-sided energy market. The drivers to move toward a two-sided market, the benefits that this market can provide for different stakeholders, and enabling technologies for this transition are studied. An overview of different approaches that lay the groundwork for two-sided markets, including demand response (DR), virtual power plants (VPPs), peer-to-peer (P2P) trading, and transactive energy (TE) is provided. A classification of different approaches, along with examples of academic and industrial works, are presented to give some insights on the way each approach can pave the path to the market reformation. Finally, different approaches are compared and some of the challenges that need to be addressed in future works are identified. INDEX TERMS Demand response, distributed energy resources (DER), negawatt trading, peer-to-peer (P2P) trading, transactive energy (TE), two-sided market, virtual power plant (VPP).

“…The district heating systems considering the thermal inertia of the commercial buildings was aggregated and provided flexibility for the power system [8]. In [9], [10], an innovative theoretical framework was established for tailoring distributed control to practical implementations of microgrid clusters, providing a creative perspective on distributed energy management, and featuring significantly enhanced efficiency, flexibility, reliability, and resilience. A DIMS can be regarded as a multienergy virtual power plant (MEVPP) to provide additional flexibility to the power system and gain profits simultaneously.…”

Distributed integrated multi-energy systems (DIMSs) can be regarded as virtual power plants to provide additional flexibility to the power system. This paper proposes a robust active dynamic aggregation model for the DIMSs to describe the maximum feasible region. The aggregation model includes the power constraints, energy constraints, and ramping constraints to aggregate different types of resources in the DIMSs. The proposed generator-like and storage-like model does not depend on the ancillary service market and can be directly incorporated into the economic dispatch model of the power system. A novel algorithm based on the column-and-constraint generation algorithm and convex-concave procedure is proposed to solve the two-stage robust optimization problem, which is more efficient than the KKT-based algorithms. Finally, a case study of an actual DIMS is developed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model.

“…VPPs can realize the aggregation, coordination, and optimization of active resources such as DGs, ESS, flexible load, and EVs, which participate in the power markets and power grids operation as special power plants by integrating the above resources (Wei et al, 2013). Therefore, a series of studies on VPPs participating in power systems' dispatch is in full swing (Bai et al, 2015;Ju et al, 2016b;Koraki and Strunz, 2018;and Zahid et al, 2019). Pandzic et al, 2013, aggregated wind power plants, photovoltaic power plants, conventional gas turbine power plants, and pumped hydro storages as a VPP and realized midterm dispatch by maximizing the profits of the VPP.…”

Bi-Level Load Peak Shifting and Valley Filling Dispatch Model of Distribution Systems With Virtual Power Plants

et al. 2020

Distributed energy resources (DERs) have been widely involved in the optimal dispatch of distribution systems which benefit from the characteristics of reliability, economy, flexibility, and environmental protection. And distribution systems are gradually transforming from passive networks to active distribution networks. However, it is difficult to manage DERs effectively because of their wide distribution, intermittency, and randomness. Virtual power plants (VPPs) can not only coordinate the contradiction between distribution systems and DERs but also consider the profits of DERs, which can realize the optimal dispatch of distribution systems effectively. In this paper, a bi-level dispatch model based on VPPs is proposed for load peak shaving and valley filling in distribution systems. The VPPs consist of distributed generations, energy storage devices, and demand response resources. The objective of the upper-level model is smoothing load curve, and the objective of the lower-level model is maximizing the profits of VPPs. Meanwhile, we consider the quadratic cost function to quantify the deviation between the actual output and the planned output of DGs. The effectiveness of the bi-level dispatch model in load shifting and valley filling is proved by various scenarios. In addition, the flexibility of the model in participating in distribution system dispatch is also verified.
