“…According to [27], the optimized management of distributed elements could dispatch resources outside its own local grid to provide services to the DSO and TSO. For example, in order to provide better management for the integration of DERs, in [28], a coordinated operation strategy is proposed for a VPP that offers regulation services to the system. The management of DERs through smart energy management technologies has been studied in several works [29][30][31], and this is considered a necessary strategy for the integration of DERs.…”

In this article, we focus on the development and scope of virtual power plants (VPPs) as a strategy to facilitate the integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) in the power system. Firstly, the concepts about VPPs and their scope and limitations are introduced. Secondly, smart management systems for the integration of DERs are considered and a scheme of DER management through a bottom-up strategy is proposed. Then, we analyze the coordination of VPPs with the system operators and their commercial integration in the electricity markets. Finally, the challenges that must be overcome to achieve the large-scale implementation of VPPs in the power system are identified and discussed.

“…Local network aggregators (LNAs): needed to consider the operational constraints of the local network and to construct a portfolio of different types of generation or demand [33]. An example is a virtual power plant [34] considered as the "master" operator with multiple distributed energy resource aggregators. The aggregation can include local energy systems that are aggregated individually [35] or interact under the coordination of a multi-energy player that acts as the "master" operator [36].…”

“…On one end of the spectrum, there are decentralized DER management solutions aiming to provide basic, but highly important features such as aggregation of behind‐the‐meter DERs, and participation of DERs and prosumers in DR and energy efficiency (EE) programs. These solutions can (and mostly are) indirectly used by DSOs, but are designed for direct utilization by independent aggregators, market operators, and other third party participants (Kerscher & Arboleya, 2022; Mousavi & Meng, 2021; Yi et al, 2021). On the other end, there are fully centralized solutions, aimed for direct utilization by DSOs, to aid them in overcoming challenges imposed by DERs onto distribution grids and their assets.…”

Due to an ever-increasing rise in proliferation of distributed energy resources (DERs), the paradigm of passive electrical distribution networks is shifting toward active distribution systems. This new environment introduces a plethora of challenges that cannot be managed by traditional tools, whose utilization could compromise the reliability and efficient operation of distribution feeders. This article systematically reviews state of the art in different DERs management software solutions available today. Additionally, it establishes distinguished roles and responsibilities of different levels of hierarchy in distinct solutions that are all commonly called DERs management systems-DERMS (e.g., fully centralized versus fully decentralized DER management solutions). Lastly, it offers a viewpoint on the directions that hold potential for the power system community and industry to explore for further developments of more robust and intelligent DERMS, to successfully enable efficient transition into a new era of clean and sustainable power systems, encompassing active and dynamically changing distribution circuits.
