Virtual Power Plant Solution for Future Smart Energy Communities

<p>This book provides a general overview of virtual power plants (VPP) as a key technology in future energy communities and active distribution and transmission networks for managing distributed energy resources providing local and global services and facilitating market participation of small-scale managing distributed energy resources and prosumers. The book also aims at describing some practical solutions business models and novel architectures for the implementation of VPPs in the real world.</p><p>Each chapter of the book begins with the fundamental structure of the problem required for a rudimentary understanding of the methods described. It provides a clear picture for practical implementation of VPP through novel technologies such as blockchain digital twin and distributed ledger technology.</p><p>The book will help the electrical and power engineers undergraduate graduate students research scholars and utility engineers to understand the emerging solutions regarding the VPP concept lucidly.</p>
