Book title: Virtual Power Plant Solution for Future Smart Energy Communities |
Synopsis
Virtual Power Plant (VPP) goal is to accelerate the transition towards smart and green energy by facilitating the integration of Renewable Energy Sources (RESs). It also aims to help power grids exploit energy efficiency potential and innovative storage approaches, foster the active participation of citizens and become self-sufficient in energy. All these, while reducing costs, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and reliance on fossil fuels to generate power. Another goal is to create new intelligent business, growth and local skilled jobs.
In order to achieve the above objectives, VPP needs to use disruptive solutions based on forecasting tools, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), and different optimization and control strategies to revolutionize the existing VPP and build smart energy communities. Based on aggregation and smart management of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), VPP could increase the flexibility and profitability of energy systems while providing novel services. VPP could also enhance the Demand Response (DR) capability of consumers by understanding their behaviors and promoting self-consumption.
This book provides a general overview of VPPs as a key technology in future energy communities and active distribution networks for managing DERs, providing local and global services, and facilitating market participation of small-scale DERs and prosumers. The book also aims at describing some practical solutions, business models, and novel architectures for the implementation of VPP in the real world.
List of Topics
This book aims at establishing a common ground to provide solutions and best practices around VPP for future smart power systems. The following focus areas could be considered (not limited to):
- VPP communication system architecture
- Evolving business models for VPPs
- The flexibility value of VPPs
- Peer to Peer (P2P) trading within VPPs
- IoT solutions for VPP implementation
- Centralized and decentralized optimization approaches for energy management within the VPP
- Local and global service provision through VPP concept
- Technical and economic advantages of VPP for active distribution networks
- Practical implementation of VPP in real-world based on emerging technologies
- Case studies related to actual VPP projects
- Innovations and future trends of VPP concept
- State of the art of VPP architecture
