A regulation strategy for virtual power plant

A large number of batteries and gas generators in a virtual power plant (VPP) can achieve high profits by providing high-quality frequency regulation services. Therefore, the virtual power plant will participate in the regulation market for those batteries and gas generators. However, uncertainty of intermittent energy in VPP will damage the performance score in settlement and decrease the benefit of VPP. In order to give full play to the high-quality regulation services of VPP, this paper introduces a regulation mechanism for VPP, and we propose a calculation method of VPP's frequency performance. To reduce the influence of fluctuation of intermittent power and load on VPP's regulation performance, an improved VPP regulation control strategy is proposed. Finally, the results show the effectiveness of the control strategy.
