Active power control of a Virtual Power Plant

Abstract

The present work develops the entire control system to achieve the active power regulation in a detailed model of a small-scale Virtual Power Plant (VPP). Firstly, the proposed VPP topology is exposed. A DC bus has been used for the integration of the different distributed generators and the storage system. Different DC-DC power converters schemes have been employed to fulfill this goal. Later, by means of an Energy Management System strategy who commands a three-leg three-phase inverter having a suitable modulation technique, the control of the demanded active power is performed. The results exhibit successful responses of the system for both, dynamic and steady state.
