Abstract(s)
With the increasing penetration of distributed
energy resources (DER) into the grid, the power system has
suffered some changes to become more sustainable, flexible,
and cost-effective. For this reason, a need for new ways of
operating the power system is emerging. The control of DER
such as PV power, controllable load, demand response (DR)
programs, energy storage units, and electric vehicles will
facilitate their integration by balancing operations in the
electricity grid. The increase of DER is stressing the
distributed nature of power systems, in terms of equipment
and in terms of management and control. So, new entities
such as aggregators are acting as mediators between endusers
and grid operators to facilitate the management and
control of the power system. This paper makes a review of
different aggregation approaches that can be applied for the
integration of the DER in the electric power system, based on
recent literature. It focuses on the role of DR aggregators,
load aggregators, and energy storage aggregators, and the
concepts related to each of these topics are covered.
