Abstract:The prerequisite for virtual power plants to enter the market is to be able to optimize the scheduling of distributed resources through aggregation and optimize the potential of regulating and promoting the consumption of new energy, and the incorporation of new energy consumption assessment and over-consumption incentives into the operation optimization strategy of virtual power plants can enhance the level of optimization of their resource aggregation and promote their further participation in the market operation. However, the current research lacks attention to this aspect, and there is a lack of refined quantitative analysis. To this end, we construct a market framework for virtual power plants to participate in the joint trading of electric energy and peaking auxiliary services, propose a new energy consumption assessment and incentive model for virtual power plants based on the analysis of user demand elasticity that takes into account the probability of load regulation, and adopt the probability of user regulation to weaken the uncertainty of consumption according to the economic risk of assessment brought about by the uncertainty of internal resources in the operation of virtual power plants, and then put forward an operation optimization strategy that promotes new energy consumption in virtual power plants. The operation optimization strategy to promote the consumption of new energy by virtual power plants will be proposed. In addition, the results of the operation optimization strategy considering new energy assessment incentives are compared with those of the general operation strategy to verify the feasibility of the proposed model, and the model parameters are modified by constructing a high tariff scenario and a high resource scenario to further analyze the adaptability of the model to different scenarios. The results show that under the conditions of joint trading in the power market, the virtual power plants adopting the operation optimization strategy considering the new energy appraisal and incentive in different scenarios not only have a better performance in terms of market operation efficiency, but also can significantly improve the new energy consumption, play the role of peak and valley regulation, coordinate their internal loads more effectively, and ensure the smooth operation of the power system. As a result, there are relevant insights to improve the market competitiveness of virtual power plants in terms of improving the market trading mechanism and enriching the business model according to local conditions
