Utilization of Virtual Power Plants for Supporting Declared Generation Schedules of Renewable Energy Sources

The monograph examines the concept of virtual power plants that integrate renewable energy sources, active consumers, and energy storage systems into a single station with centralized management. This approach helps reduce generation imbalances, which is crucial for power grids transitioning to smart systems. Based on the conducted research, the problem of ensuring daily generation schedules for solar and wind power plants has been addressed. A mathematical model of hybrid power plant operating modes has been developed, along with a methodology for calculating energy costs and optimizing storage systems. Computer simulations have been carried out, leading to the creation of a virtual power plant model and an algorithm for an information and control system.
