Abstract

With the continuous expansion of distributed energy resources (DERs), virtual power plants (VPPs) have emerged as an efficient solution for their aggregation and management. This study proposes a dynamic reconfiguration method for VPPs, addressing the problem of optimally aggregating DERs within a VPP. To enhance DER participation, an innovative membership rewards mechanism is introduced. Furthermore, we develop a method for DER feature extraction and classification to deeply understand their performance. We also assess DERs' willingness to participate, which is the precondition for effective aggregation. The core of our method is an optimized strategy for multi-stage dynamic planning of VPPs, designed to accommodate the dynamic evolution of DERs and electricity markets conditions, and formulated as a two-layer model to offer optimal solutions for DERs aggregation. Numerical simulations validate the superiority of our method in economic benefits and operational efficiency of VPP, highlighting our contributions to enhance the feasibility and efficiency of VPP aggregation through multi-stage planning, dynamic adaptability, and strategic incentives.
