Abstract

Abstract:

Nowadays, the global energy internet is popular, and building the VPP （virtual power plant） is an important step to construct the global energy internet and an important means to relieve the energy shortages and environmental pollution in China. Therefore, its really important to understand and grasp the key technologies and operation principles of VPP. The purpose of this paper is to provide the theoretical and practical experience for the VPP construction in China by analyzing its operating mode. Firstly, based on the statement of VPP in other literatures, the detail concept and typical features of VPP are definitely summarized, and according to the different functions, the VPP is divided into two categories： CVPP （commercial virtual power plant） and TVPP （technical virtual power plant）. Then, the relationships between energy internet and VPP are expounded in detail from different perspectives, such as physical structure, information model, market roles and so on. And then, we summary the operation principle and condition of the typical demonstration project of VPP in Germany. An last, according to the current development level of power distribution system and the relevant policies of power system reform in China, we discuss the application prospect of VPP in China, and propose the suggestions on the key issues to be resolved, which can provide a theoretical basis for the builders and decision maker of VPP.

Key words: renewable energy, virtual power plant, energy internet, power system reform
