Virtual power plants – a term frequently used interchangeably with "microgrids" – rely upon software systems to remotely and automatically dispatch and optimize generation or demand-side or storage resources in a single, secure Web-connected system. In short, VPPs represent an "Internet of energy," tapping existing grid networks
To resolve these associated problems, the virtual power plant (VPP) has been introduced and integrated with present smart distribution systems without sacrificing the grid stability

Virtual power plants (VPPs) are increasingly challenging the dominance of traditional large-scale centralized electricity generation. A VPP is defined as a collection of distributed energy resources (DERs) that are aggregated through cloud computing and control for the purpose of providing enhanced power generation and availability. The
This article presents the concepts of the microgrid and the virtual power plant (VPP) as vehicles to facilitate cost-efficient integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) into the
To that end, electric vehicles are becoming an enabling technology for microgrids and virtual power plants. Within five years, Asmus says, the concept will have fully emerged. Unlike a microgrid that typically operates within a certain boundary, a virtual power plant is comprised of resources that can be scattered over a wider geography.

It now hosts what''s being touted as the largest grid-connected urban virtual power plant in the country. Dubbed the IKEA eleXsys Microgrid, the 1.2-MWh installation includes a rooftop array with 3,024 solar panels and a 3.45-MWh battery that''s the size of three 40-foot shipping containers.
Microgrids and virtual power plants (VPPs) address this issue. Opposed to VPPs, microgrids have the functionality of islanding, for which specific control strategies have been developed.
where β denotes a vector of parameters such as the solar irradiance and temperature. The general shape of the P-V characteristic curve is shown in Fig. 1.However, since it is difficult to measure β, and the expression of is only approximate, it is impossible to precisely acquire the P-V characteristic curve in real time.. Consequently, the only
The share of distributed generation (DG) in the power system generation is increasingly grown up and for the economical and technical reasons; their integration is deeply concentrated by the researchers.

A virtual power plant, or VPP, is a network of medium-scale distributed energy resources (DER) - like smart thermostats, air conditioners and backup batteries - that are used to provide energy to and stabilize the grid. The goal of a VPP is to lower the electricity demand by cutting back on energy consumption, or address the demand by pulling
