Abstract-The advent of renewable energy induces new problematic electrical network configurations. Indeed, the renewable energy characteristics (intermittency, production uncertainty) combined with their inherent spatial distribution implies to aggregate them and to design specific control tools to connect them to the grid and allow them to participate to the market. Based on an industrial case study, we propose in this work to gather and coordinate numerous independent producers through a Cooperative Virtual Power Plant (CVPP). To perform an efficient market participation of such coalition of producers, we model its behavior as a Markov Decision Process. Our model takes into account renewable generation prior uncertainty, market constraints and optimizes sequentially the utilization of available resources. Experiments realized using realistic datasets show the efficacy of the proposed model and speak in favor of renewable and controllable producers' coalition in CVPP.Index Terms-Cooperative virtual power plant, partially observable markov decision processes, renewable market participation, storage management.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
