In the context of the "two-carbon" goal and the establishment of a new power system, the pace of energy replacement on the consumption side is accelerating. Massive, diverse, and dispersed distributed resources continue to emerge. The virtual power plants (VPPs) with enormous flexible distributed energy resources constitute a crucial technical pathway for achieving supply-demand matching and efficient operation in the new power system.
However, the current interactive control of VPPs with enormous flexible distributed energy resources confronts numerous technical challenges. Additionally, market-oriented operation and business models require refinement. These factors impede the full exploration and utilization of the potential inherent in distributed flexible resources. There is an urgent need to research and implement key technologies such as dynamic aggregation and trusted quantification of distributed resources, delay control and information protection, cooperative regulation, security control, and market mechanisms along with transaction technology.
To consolidate industry research outcomes and focus on the interactive regulation mechanism of VPPs with enormous flexible distributed energy resources, this special session aims to provide a communication platform for researchers, scientists, and engineers to share VPPs with enormous flexible distributed energy resources, and will foster knowledge exchange and promote further advancements in this field.
