Grid supporting using virtual power plants based on aggregated local networks

A virtual power plant (VPP) is a cloud-based distributed power plant that aggregates the capacities of heterogeneous Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) for the purposes of enhancing ower generation, as well as trading or selling power on the open market. The main aim of this project is to use the aggregated capabilities of the a lot of systems to participate in the grid supporting from the point of view of voltage and frequency.
