Bidding Strategy of Virtual Power Plant with Energy Storage Power Station and Photovoltaic and Wind Power by Zhongfu Tan, Qingkun Tan, Yuwei Wang

“…Assuming that the upper and lower limits of the combined output of photovoltaic and wind power are stochastically variable, the fluctuation range of the day-ahead energy market and capacity price is stochastically variable. If the capacity of the storage station is large enough to stabilize the fluctuation of the output of the wind and photovoltaic power, virtual power plants can participate in the electricity market bidding. …”
