Impact of Industrial Virtual Power Plant on Renewable Energy Integration

摘要

Industrial park is one of the typical energy consumption patterns in power system due to heavy industrial loads and their ability to respond to electricity prices. Therefore, the energy integration in the industrial sector is significant. The concept of industrial virtual power plant (IVPP) has been proposed to deal with such problems. This paper demonstrates an IVPP model to managing resources in an eco-industrial park, including energy storage systems, demand response (DR) resources and distributed energy resources such as wind and solar. By maximizing the daily benefits of IVPP owners in day-ahead market, DR and batteries are scheduled economically, and the energy between the grid and IVPP can flow in both directions. The case studies under three wind-level scenarios demonstrate the efficient synergies between IVPP resources. The validation results indicate that IVPP could optimize supply side and demand side resources in industrial parks and help decarbonization of power systems.
