Real-time operation of dynamic virtual power plants: integrating re-dispatch optimization with the dynamic DVPP model

Abstract

For the real-time operation of DVPP, a real-time simulation tool is utilized to describe the dynamics of the system. A fast, scalable, rolling-time horizon redispatch optimization algorithm implemented and executed through GAMS%2BSimulink in a real-time simulation environment is prompted when internal or external deviations occur in the system. The tool is integrated within an automatic Frequency Restoration Reserve regulation scheme for DVPPs, and the performance of such controller is illustrated and discussed.
