A Coalitional Stable and Fair Reward Allocation for Dynamic Virtual Power Plants

Carl von Holly-Ponientzietz, Saverio Bolognani, Florian Dörfler, Verena Häberle

This paper establishes crucial cooperation criteria for the operation of Dynamic Virtual Power Plants (DVPPs). We propose a control design and reward allocation mechanism to enable and incentivize Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) to provide dynamic ancillary services (DAS). Our results illustrate how the cooperative aggregation of heterogeneous DERs leverages technical complementarities to outperform standalone DAS provision. The proposed reward allocation fulfills critical game-theoretic criteria, including individual rationality, coalitional stability, incentive compatibility, optimality, fairness and ex-post consistency. The control design and reward allocation are validated using a case study based on the Finnish power grid.

A Distributed Cluster Economic Dispatch Scheme for Cross-regional Microgrids Induced by Well-designed Communication Weights

Yalin Zhang, Zhongxin Liu, Yulin Chen, Donglian Qi, Zengqiang Chen

A large-scale microgrid typically consists of several cross-regional subgrids aggregated by a virtual power plant (VPP). However, current consensus based schemes can-not guarantee the feature of differential demand between subgrids. Thus, distributed cluster consensus control ind…
