Virtual power plants, generally considered a connected aggregation of distributed energy resource (DER) technologies, offer deeper integration of renewables and demand flexibility, which in turn offers more Americans cleaner and more affordable power. VPPs can participate in energy. . In this article, we constructed a virtual power plant (VPP) aggregation model for an active distribution network (ADN) connected to DG of multiple energy forms.
