The prevalence of distributed generation drives the emergence of the Virtual Power Plant (VPP) paradigm. A VPP aggregates distributed energy resources while operating as a conventional power plant. In recent years, several renewable energy sources have been installed in the commercial/industrial/residential building sector and they lend themselves for possible aggregation within the VPP operations. At present, building-side energy resources are usually managed by building energy management systems (BEMSs) with autonomous objectives and policies, and they are usually not setup to be directly controlled for the implementation of a VPP energy management system. This article presents a Building VPP (BVPP) architecture that aggregates building-side energy resources through the communication between the VPP energy management system and autonomous BEMSs. The implementation technologies, key components, and operation modes of BVPPs are discussed. Case studies are reported to demonstrate the effectiveness of BVPP in different operational conditions.

The prediction of electrical power in combined cycle power plants is a key challenge in the electrical power and energy systems field. This power output can vary depending on environmental variables, such as temperature, pressure, and humidity. Thus,
the business problem is how to predict the power output as a function of these environmental conditions in order to maximize the profit. The research community has solved this problem by applying machine learning techniques and has managed to reduce the computational and time costs in comparison with the traditional thermodynamical analysis. Until now, this challenge has been tackled from a batch learning perspective in which data is assumed to be at rest, and where models do not continuously integrate new information into already constructed models. We present an approach closer to the Big Data and Internet of Things paradigms in which data is arriving continuously and where models learn incrementally, achieving significant enhancements in terms of data processing (time, memory and computational costs), and obtaining competitive performances. This work compares and examines the hourly electrical power prediction of several streaming regressors, and discusses about the best technique in terms of time processing and performance to be applied on this streaming scenario.
Virtual power plant (VPP) provides a flexible solution to distributed energy resources integration by aggregating renewable generation units, conventional power plants, energy storages, and flexible demands. This paper proposes a novel model for dete
rmining the optimal offering strategy in the day-ahead energy-reserve market and the optimal self-scheduling plan. It considers exogenous uncertainties (or called decision-independent uncertainties, DIUs) associated with market clearing prices and available wind power generation, as well as the endogenous uncertainties (or called decision-dependent uncertainties, DDUs) pertaining to real-time reserve deployment requests. A tractable solution method based on strong duality theory, McCormick relaxation, and the Benders decomposition to solve the proposed stochastic adaptive robust optimization with DDUs formulation is developed. Simulation results demonstrate the applicability of the proposed approach.
The mushrooming of distributed energy resources turns end-users from passive price-takers to active market participants. To manage those massive proactive end-users efficiently, virtual power plant (VPP) as an innovative concept emerges. It can provi
de some necessary information to help consumers improve their profits and trade with the electricity market on behalf of them. One important information that is desired by the consumers is the prediction of renewable outputs inside this VPP. Presently, most VPPs run in a centralized manner, which means the VPP predicts the outputs of all the renewable sources it manages and provides the predictions to every consumer who buys this information. We prove that by providing predictions, the social total surplus can be improved. However, when more consumers and renewables participate in the market, this centralized scheme needs extensive data communication and may jeopardize the privacy of individual stakeholders. In this paper, we propose a decentralized prediction provision algorithm in which consumers from each subregion only buy local predictions and exchange information with the VPP. Convergence is proved under a mild condition, and the demand gap between centralized and decentralized schemes is proved to have zero expectation and bounded variance. Illustrative examples show that the variance of this gap decreases with more consumers and higher uncertainty, and validate the proposed algorithm numerically.
The Large Intelligent Surface (LIS) concept has emerged recently as a new paradigm for wireless communication, remote sensing and positioning. It consists of a continuous radiating surface placed relatively close to the users, which is able to commun
icate with users by independent transmission and reception (replacing base stations). Despite of its potential, there are a lot of challenges from an implementation point of view, with the interconnection data-rate and computational complexity being the most relevant. Distributed processing techniques and hierarchical architectures are expected to play a vital role addressing this while ensuring scalability. In this paper we perform algorithm-architecture codesign and analyze the hardware requirements and architecture trade-offs for a discrete LIS to perform uplink detection. By doing this, we expect to give concrete case studies and guidelines for efficient implementation of LIS systems.
In metropolitan areas populated with commercial buildings, electric power supply is stringent especially during business hours. Demand side management using battery is a promising solution to mitigate peak demands, however long payback time creates b
arriers for large scale adoption. In this paper, we have developed a design phase battery life-cycle cost assessment tool and a runtime controller for the building owners, taking into account the degradation of battery. In the design phase, perfect knowledge on building load profile is assumed to estimate ideal payback time. In runtime, stochastic programming and load predictions are applied to address the uncertainties in loads for producing optimal battery operation. For validation, we have performed numerical experiments using the real-life tariff model serves New York City, Zn/MnO2 battery, and state-of-the-art building simulation tool. Experimental results shows a small gap between design phase assessment and runtime control. To further examine the proposed methods, we have applied the same tariff model and performed numerical experiments on nine weather zones and three types of commercial buildings. On contrary to the common practice of shallow discharging battery for preventing phenomenal degradation, experimental results show promising payback time achieved by optimally deep discharge a battery.
