“…The creation and operation of VPPs involves the application of complex ICT techniques dealing with the modeling of the energy assets and energy flows, forecasting of local energy demand and generation, operation optimization to meet the defined goals using heuristics, and finally portfolio management and actuation for closing the loop [5,6,73] (see Figure 3).

“…The scheduling of the VPP aims to maximize revenues and reduce penalties while addressing market constraints. The authors of [99] explore how modeling and fuzzy logic can be used for VPPs in an open context which is characterized by features such as external components that can be included in the system as needed at run-time without any impact, new interfaces that could facilitate the connection of the system with those components can also be added if needed and all the interfaces or components can be changed at any time if required. Moreover, the context and time dependencies are computed with formal methods and the erroneous information is extracted from the result.…”

Virtual Power Plant Optimization in Smart Grids: A Narrative Review

2022

Virtual power plants (VPPs) are promising solutions to address the decarbonization and energy efficiency goals in the smart energy grid. They assume the coordination of local energy resources such as energy generation, storage, and consumption. They are used to tackle problems brought by the stochastic nature of renewable energy, lack of energy storage devices, or insufficient local energy flexibility on the demand side. VPP modeling, management, and optimization are open to research problems that should consider, on one side, the local constraints in the operation of the energy resources and power flows and the energy grid’s sustainability objectives on the other side. There are multiple goals to create a VPP, such as to deliver energy services on a market or to the grid operator, to operate a microgrid in autonomy decoupled from the main grid, or to sustain local energy communities. In this paper, we present the results of a narrative review carried out on the domain of VPP optimization for the local energy grid integration. We have defined a search strategy that considers highly rated international databases (i.e., Elsevier, IEEE, and MDPI) in a six-year timeframe and applied objective inclusion/exclusion criteria for selecting articles and publications for the review; 95 articles have been analyzed and classified according to their objectives and solutions proposed for optimizing VPP integration in smart grids. The results of the study show that VPP concepts and applications are well addressed in the research literature, however, there is still work to be done on: engaging prosumers and citizens in such a virtual organization, developing heuristics to consider a wider range of local and global constraints and non-energy vectors, and to decentralize and make transparent the services delivery and financial settlement towards community members. This study can help researchers to understand the current directions for VPP integration in smart grids. As a next step we plan to further analyze the open research directions related to this problem and target the development of innovative solutions to allow the integration of multi-energy assets and management of cross energy sector services in energy communities.

This technical report presents a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) study that focuses on identifying and classifying the recent research practices pertaining to CPS development through MDE approaches. The study evaluates 140 research papers published during 2010-2018. Accordingly, a comprehensive analysis of various MDE approaches used in the development life-cycle of CPS is presented. Furthermore, the study identifies the research gaps and areas that need more investigation. The contribution helps researchers and practitioners to get an overall understanding of the research trends and existing challenges for further research/development.
