Virtual power plant for distribution system operators

01.04.2014 - 30.06.2017
Research funding project

The aim of the project hybrid-VPP4DSO is the design, evaluation and validation of a hybrid
virtual power plant concept including electricity generation from renewable resources as well
as consumer-related measures (provision of negawatts) to optimize the power system.
Network and market driven approaches will be combined, especially to provide services for
the requirements of distribution grid operators. The simulation-based development of the
hybrid-VPP-concept will be performed with real company data. After successful validation a
proof of concept in two specific network areas in Slovenia and in Austria is planned.
Furthermore, the possibilities for business models, technical and not-technical barriers of the
VPP market will be evaluated.
