“…Since then, the concept of VPP has been extended by various researchers. Recently, various definitions have been presented for VPPs, and in all these definitions, there is a common point that VPP is a set of conventional DGs and renewable (RES) resources that could be controlled as a single power plant in order to perform better in a supplying load [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]. The authors in [24] have defined VPP: "A set of DG units, controllable loads and energy storage system are integrated, which act as a power plant with less uncertainty".…”

High penetration of distributed generation and renewable energy sources in power systems has created control challenges in the network, which requires the coordinated management of these resources. Using virtual power plants (VPPs) on a large scale has solved these challenges to a significant extent. VPPs can be considered systems consisting of distributed generations, energy storage, controllable loads, electric vehicles (EVs), and other types of resources to provide energy and ancillary services. VPPs face various challenges such as energy management, operation, resource uncertainty, participation in electricity markets, etc. This paper discusses an overview of the basic challenges of VPPs, including control and communication issues, electricity markets, its different models, and energy management issues. The main purpose is to investigate the performance of VPP in different markets, energy management of VPP in different operating conditions and strategies, and compare different planning methods for VPP. Note that the application of blockchain to control and improve VPP performance has been investigated, taking into account the different layers of this technology.

“…This study further explains that a VPP can be replaced with a conventional power plant to achieve greater efficiency and flexibility. A set of different DER types that may be dispersed at different points of the distribution networks is called VPP [28].…”

“…The development towards the digitalisation of the grid [22], cost reductions, security and low carbon aspirations have increased interest in DERs [23]. A grid with a large penetration of intermittent renewables requires reliable resources, possibly in the form of small generators or ESS, that can ramp up or down to maintain the overall balance of supply and demand [24]. These DERs offer the potential to improve power system stability.…”

This paper presents the DER aggregation solution that will be deployed in the frame of the Reflexe pilot project. This project brings together a consortium of industrial partners and research laboratories with the objective of examining all aspects of the commercial and industrial flexibility aggregation activity in order to provide energy and ancillary services to the grid through the market. The aggregation solution will provide functionality required by the technical and commercial aggregator roles. The technical functions supported by the solution include participant enrollment, flexibility modeling and flexibility activation, monitoring and control. The commercial functionality will provide the trader with decision support tools to build optimal bids based on the information provided by the technical aggregation functions. Monitoring and control functionality is intended to minimize penalties resulting from deviations from market obligations. The solutions developed in the project will be tested in a demonstration phase involving twenty commercial and industrial participants.Index Terms--C&I energy flexibility, energy storage, load management, DER aggregation, energy market.
