Abstract

Microgrids (MGs) and Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) have gained tremendous popularity in recent times. The paradigm of Smart Grid is a ground-breaking advancement in the sphere of electricity generation and transmission. To build a sustainable electricity network, the transition from centralized generation to decentralized generation brings a lot of challenges and difficulties which are addressed by MGs and VPPs. Both MGs and VPPs are crucial elements in the network architecture of a smart grid and need to be understood thoroughly to build a sustainable electricity network. In this paper, we will explore the concept of VPPs and MGs and how they facilitate the integration of distributed energy resources such as renewable energy sources, demand responsive loads, and energy storage systems into the grid and control the decentralized generation to improve dispatchability and resilience of the network.
