Virtual Power Plant (VPP), Definition, Concept, Components and Types
Abstract
Along with the rising energy consumption in the world, new technologies will influence the way we generate, distribute and consume energy. Alongside others, distributed energy generation becomes a major trend in many countries. The fast upward penetration of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) and the ongoing trend towards a more competitive electricity market requires new technologies and policies to handle both emerging technical and economic issues. In order to handle distributed generation and to intensify its visibility within power markets, the idea of virtual power plant (VPP) has emerged and is used by many researchers. It is composed of combining various small size distributed generating units to form a "single virtual generating unit" that can act as a conventional one and capable of being visible or manageable on an individual basis. Present paper tries to sheds light on main issues related to the idea of the VPP. The paper will review various definitions and primary concept of VPP, its main components, and finally two principal VPP types namely commercial VPP (CVPP) and technical VPP (TVPP).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
