The 14th International Conference on Electronics, Communications and Networks (CECNet 2024)

Abstract: Through the integration of different energy resources, the virtual power plant can realize the complementary advantages of renewable energy and traditional energy, coordinate with each other, improve the economic benefit of distributed generation participating in the power market. Driven by the continuous improvement and development of smart grid technology, virtual power plants coordinate the regional power balance, which provides technical support and solid foundation for the grid connection of renewable energy generation. In November 2019, the North China Energy Supervision Bureau solicited opinions on the "third party independent main body to participate in the North China Electric Power Peak Adjustment Auxiliary Service Market pilot program (draft for comments)", to explore the power auxiliary service market participants from the generation side to the load side of the new mechanism. It is mentioned that the aggregation resources of the virtual power plant can participate in the North China power peak-shaving auxiliary service market as a third party independent main body, ensure the safe and stable operation of the North China power grid, and enhance the new energy absorption space such as wind power and photovoltaic. In view of the current situation of energy in China, the adjustment of energy structure, the absorption of renewable energy and the pressure of emission reduction have become new problems.
