Abstract
Currently, virtual power plants (VPP) in urban areas face problems such as over-dispersion of distributed power sources, insufficient source-load coordination. Traditional VPP planning method increases the difficulty in the operation and the dispatch of VPP. Therefore, this paper proposes a planning method for urban VPP that fully considers the coupling characteristics between the buses. From the distribution network to district to bus, a multi-objective bilevel optimization planning model for urban VPP is established. The upper-level planning model aims at minimizing the annual comprehensive cost, and derive the overall capacity of wind power turbine (WT), photovoltaic(PV), and energy storage system (ESS) of VPP in each district. The lower-level planning model aims at minimizing the network loss, and realizes the site selection and capacity allocation in each selected site. The case study based on the IEEE-33 standard system was carried out to verify the advancement and effectiveness of the proposed method.
