Session Abstract:

The consumption of new energy is the main support for achieving the dual-carbon national strategic goal. However, with the continuous increase in the penetration rate of new energy, conventional generation units as the main flexibility regulation resources in power grids are gradually being phased out, which results in the inability to guarantee the secure operations for power systems and greatly restricting the consumption of new energy. Flexible regulation resources including energy storage and virtual power plants can play an important role in power grid operations, and reasonable application them can help better ensure the secure, high-quality, economical, and low-carbon operations for power systems. However, the participation of the flexible resources in the regulation and operation and related market mechanisms require research and exploration to adapt to the construction and development of new power systems. This subject is to conduct extensive solicitation for key technologies related to the participation of flexible resources such as energy storage and virtual power plants in the operations and regulation of power systems, as well as commercial mechanisms, to promote the full utilization of flexible regulation resources and solve theoretical problems for flexible resources in new power systems.

Topics (Including but not limited to):

1. Planning, configuration, dispatch, and control strategies for energy storage and virtual power plants participating in power system operations.
2. Business modes and trading mechanisms of energy storage and virtual power plants in power systems.
3. Dispatchable capacities and control strategies for distributed flexible resource aggregation.
4. Aggregation, trading, dispatch, and control strategies for distributed energy storage resources and virtual power plants.
5. Integration application and technical effectiveness of big data and artificial intelligence technologies with energy storage and virtual power plants.
6. Mechanism Analysis and optimization control of frequency security and stability in new power systems. 
7. Inertia support technology and frequency regulation capability evaluation for new power systems.
8. Coordinated optimization and control for multi-type regulation resources with flexibility support in new power systems.
9. Modeling and predictive evaluation theories for user energy consumption characteristics under dual-carbon goals.
10. Distributed trading mechanisms, methods, and strategies for the coordination of multiple flexible resource stakeholders.
