A Novel Demand Response Model with an Application for a Virtual Power Plant
Ashot Mnatsakanyan,Scott Kennedy +1 more
TL;DR: This paper's proposed DR model incorporates a fair billing mechanism that is enhanced with an ex post consumer performance tracking scheme implemented in a context of a virtual power plant aggregating load and generation units.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Assessing dust on PV modules using image processing techniques
TL;DR: The concept and methodology are presented where the algorithm is validated against electrical measurement where it showed a variation of 5% to 5.5% of detection variation based on the method used in the detection algorithm.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Optimal demand response bidding and pricing mechanism: Application for a virtual power plant
Ashot Mnatsakanyan,Scott Kennedy +1 more
TL;DR: A market framework enabling a virtual power plant to participate in wholesale energy markets by offering combined services of generation and demand response and captures the purposed market interactions between participants optimizing a VPP's bidding strategy in a day-ahead market environment is presented.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Blockchain-Integrated Virtual Power Plant Demonstration
TL;DR: A blockchain-based mechanism that handles all transactions within a VPP on a distributed data ledger is developed, enabling full transparency of the system and contributes to grid digitalization and enables new applications in power systems, incentivizing larger penetration of DERs and their participation in ancillary services.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blockchain mediated virtual power plant: From concept to demonstration
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors present a blockchain-integrated Virtual Power Plants system that enables full automation of distributed energy resource controls through smart contracts, digital trust between participants and immediate payouts for services.
