Résumé
The modern energy landscape is undergoing a significant transformation towards cleaner, decentralized energy sources. This change is driven by environmental and sustainability needs, causing traditional centralized electric grids, which rely heavily on fossil fuels, to be replaced by a diverse range of decentralized distributed energy resources. Virtual power plants (VPPs) have surfaced as a flexible solution in this transition. A VPP’s primary role is to optimize energy production, storage, and distribution by coordinating output from various connected sources. Relying on advanced communication and control systems, a VPP can balance supply and demand in real time, offer ancillary services, and support grid stability. However, aligning VPPs’ economic and operational practices with broader environmental goals and policies is a challenging yet crucial aspect. This article introduces a new VPP management and optimization algorithm designed for quick and intelligent decision-making, aiming for the lowest levelized cost of energy (LCOE), minimum grid technical losses, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The algorithm’s effectiveness is confirmed using the IEEE 33-bus grid with 10 different distributed power generators. Simulation results show the algorithm’s responsiveness to complex variables found in practical scenarios, finding the optimal combination of available energy resources. This minimizes the LCOE, technical losses, and GHG emissions in less than 0.08 s, achieving a total LCOE reduction of 16% from the baseline. This work contributes to the development of intelligent energy management systems, aiding the transition towards a more resilient and sustainable energy infrastructure
