Active Dynamic Aggregation Model for Distributed Integrated Energy System as Virtual Power Plant

Distributed integrated multi-energy systems(DIMSs) can be regarded as virtual power plants to provide additional flexibility to the power system. This paper proposes a robust active dynamic aggregation model for the DIMSs to describe the maximum feasible region. The aggregation model includes the power constraints, energy constraints, and ramping constraints to aggregate different types of resources in the DIMSs. The proposed generator-like and storage-like model does not depend on the ancillary service market and can be directly incorporated into the economic dispatch model of the power system. A novel algorithm based on the column-and-constraint generation algorithm and convex-concave procedure is proposed to solve the two-stage robust optimization problem,which is more efficient than the KKT-based algorithms. Finally,a case study of an actual DIMS is developed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model.
