Multi-Time-Scale Coordinated Optimal Dispatch of a Virtual Power Plant Under Unreliable Communication by Bo Hu, Huajian Wang, Tao Niu, Changzheng Shao, Chunyan Li

“…In the proposed approach, a four-state discrete time Markov chain is used to model average packet loss probability. Then a two-stage dispatch scheme is proposed to maximize daily profit of a VPP with microgas-turbine, wind and electric vehicles (EVs), Meanwhile, to reduce the dimensions of the model due to large-scale EVs in the vehicle to grid (V2G) operation, a compression method of an EV cluster model is proposed based on Minkowski addition. …”
