The work details the required components in a virtual power plant, including smartness of power system, instrument and information and communication technologies (ICTs), measurement units, and distributed energy sources.

Within the context above, this book provides up-to-date analytical tools to address challenging operational problems such as: • The modeling and forecasting of stochastic renewable power production. • The characterization of the impact ...

... deploy DERS like rooftop solar PV on a large scale . However , the intermittent nature of renewable - based DERs has severe implications for grid stability and economic sustainability . The concept of a VPP may be a solu- tion to these ...

This book explains how sensors, communications technologies, computational ability, control, and feedback mechanisms can be effectively combined to create this new, continually adjusting "smart grid" system.

... Plants ( VPP ) . Virtual Power Plants are a concept in the energy industry that refers to a network of decentralized power generating units that are interconnected and managed as a unified system . Rather than relying on a single large ...

This book provides a comprehensive discussion from a number of experts and practitioners and describes the challenges and the future scope of the technologies related to smart grid.

This book contains high-quality chapters containing original research results and literature review of exceptional merit.

Explains the economics of electricity at each step of the supply chain: production, transportation and distribution, and retail.

This study presents options to fully unlock the world¡¯s vast solar PV potential over the period until 2050. It builds on IRENA¡¯s global roadmap to scale up renewables and meet climate goals.
