Abstract
As micro-combined heat and power (micro-CHP)
systems move towards mass deployment together with other
kinds of distributed energy resources (DER), an increasing
emphasis has been placed on how to coordinate such a large
diversified DER portfolio in an efficient way by the Virtual
Power Plant (VPP) like aggregators. Compared to the centralized
direct control scheme, a decentralized control scheme “controlby-
price” is proposed for the VPP operation. The corresponding
scheme has advantages in scalability, transparency and
simplicity. In this context, a short term economic analysis is
conducted for three different micro-CHP systems to investigate
the feasibility of being controlled by price. Such analysis is
relevant for both controller designs for micro-CHP systems and
VPP related operations. The results indicate that controlling the
micro-CHP systems by price is feasible but could result in jumpy
responses.
