Research on the Key Technologies of Virtual Power Plants Aggregating Distributed Energy Resources

The increasing adoption of distributed energy re-sources (DERs) is leading to a paradigm shift in the pow-er industry. virtual power plants (VPPs) have emerged as a promising solution for aggregating and coordinating DERs to provide reliable and flexible energy services. In this paper, we present a comprehensive review of the key technologies that enable VPPs to effectively integrate and manage diverse types of DERs. Specifically, we presents optimization methods for VPP scheduling that maximizes the utilization of renewable energy sources while ensuring system stability. We also discuss the plat-form technology, including integrated communication networks, data analytics, and control systems, which enables effective VPP management. Finally, we identify future research directions, such as the development of advanced artificial intelligence algorithms and the integration of new types of DERs, to further improve the performance and scalability of VPPs.
