Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of decision-making problems related to virtual power plants (VPPs). Section 1.1 defines the concept of VPP. Section 1.2 describes the basic organization of current electricity markets. Section 1.3 explains the strong relationship between VPPs and smart grids. Section 1.4 provides an overview of decision-making problems under uncertainty, including stochastic and robust optimization problems. Section 1.5 reviews the different approaches used in the technical literature to deal with operation and planiing problems for VPPs. Finally, Sect. 1.6 clarifies the scope of this book.
