Optimization of Operation Strategy of Virtual Power Plants Involved in Peak Shaving

In recent years, as the consumption rate of renewable energy has increased, the impact of renewable energy on the power grid has also increased. Currently, distribution network system operators and transmission line system operators are unable to acquire and control the operational status of renewable energy sources such as wind power photovoltaics. These phenomena pose a significant challenge to the safety and stability of the operation of the power system. The virtual power plant is a feasible solution, based on the data acquisition terminal of advanced communication technology, decentralized control or centralized control of DER. Based on the virtual power plant, this paper aggregates three types of resources, wind power, photovoltaic, and electric vehicles, which are typical on the supply side and the demand side. Then, the virtual power plant is regarded as a whole to accept the dispatching instructions of the power grid, formulate the operational strategy of the internal resources of the virtual power plant, and participate in the peaking service.
