Abstract

With a broad market of Distributed Energy Resource (DER) aggregated control solutions, technology investment and implementation decisions for electric utilities and grid operators need to consider complexity, cost, and performance. This paper compares the performance tradeoffs of two Virtual Power Plant (VPP) architectures for DER aggregated control.
