Description

Cyber-physical Virtual Power Plants (VPPs), a revolutionary framework designed to harness the collective potential of distributed energy resources (DERs) via communication technologies, are crucial for integrating large of renewable generators into future energy grids securely and cost-effectively. This is the pioneering book that systematically explains and explores the operation and control of VPPs from a cyber-physical perspective. Born out of the authors' continuous research and engineering practice in the field of VPPs, this book lays the theoretical foundation for the topic and thoroughly presents straightforward solutions to the challenges encountered in cyber-physical VPPs. This book is a useful reference for researchers, graduates, and engineers interested in and working on VPPs, cyber-physical system designs, and Internet of Things applications.
