Application of Block Chain Technology in Virtual Power Plant

The emergence of distributed energy, such as energy storage, electric vehicles, distributed renewable energy and controllable load, has brought great subversive and transformative effects to the current power system because it is mainly centralized. Emerging new energy technologies and Internet technologies promote the evolution of power system from smart grid to energy Internet. In the future, the primary energy of energy Internet will be mainly distributed energy. Virtual power plant (VPP) is an important branch of energy Internet. Virtual power plant technology can aggregate distributed energy and establish virtual power resource transaction. In order to deal with the real-time electricity price of the future energy Internet, the virtual power plant model based on block chain is established because of the characteristics of block chain security, decentralization and transparency.
