Abstract

Traditional virtual power plants (VPPs) with fixed resource composition and coordination strategies struggle to cost-effectively exploit the flexibility of large-scale resources for adapting variable regulation requirements and resources characteristics. To this end, this paper proposes a dynamic aggregation mechanism to flexibly select and coordinate individual resources for forming aggregators according to grids regulation requirements and resource characteristics. The proposed mechanism is operated through a two-stage dynamic aggregation model comprising resource selection and coordination. Considering the two-stage dynamic aggregation model is a combinational optimization problem with high computational complexity, the submodular optimization method is utilized to swiftly address this problem. First, the complementarity and submodularity of the dynamic aggregation process are formulated to elaborate how the aggregation regulation characteristics (ARCs) evolve with flexible resource composition and coordination. Next, a submodularity-based algorithm is developed to promptly solve dynamic aggregation model under three scenarios, where aggregation operators focus on the resources quantity, quality, and cost-effectiveness, respectively. The polynomial computational complexity of the proposed algorithm has also been evaluated. Simulations using the IEEE 39-bus (New England) system consists of 10,000 flexible resources were executed to assess the submodularity approach. The proposed algorithm demonstrates superior computing speed and better performance guaranteed results (90%, 97%, 90% in three scenarios) compared to other methods—making it more suitable for implementation in practice.
