Recently，Shandong Province’s first “aggregated” virtual power plant supported by our institute’s technology was put into use in Tai’an。The virtual power plant has attracted widespread attention both inside and outside the province after it went online，Xinhua Finance and other media released relevant reports，Pay close attention to the practical exploration of virtual power plant construction。

It is reported，This virtual power plant is the first virtual power plant in Tai’an，It is also the first “aggregated” virtual power plant in Shandong Province that is connected to the provincial smart energy service platform，Can aggregate flexible loads such as air conditioners for industrial and commercial users for power trading，Realizing interaction with the power grid，Enhance the flexibility and security of power grid operations。

The virtual power plant is State Grid Taian Power Supply Company、The “aggregated” virtual power plant demonstration project jointly constructed by Shandong University and Shandong Future Energy，The target capacity of the first phase of construction is 20 MW。The demonstration project incorporates Zhang Hengxu from our hospital、Shi Xiaohan、Liu Chunyang、Cao Yongji and other teachers conduct refined production simulation in the virtual power plant、Full-scenario interactive algorithm and market transaction simulation technology achievements，Strongly supports the virtual power plant’s multi-type controllable resource aggregation and full-scenario interaction needs。Our institute is the first in the industry to advocate "grid-friendly" virtual power plant aggregation management and control technology，Strive to solve the "path" problem of the coordinated operation of large power grids and large-scale distributed resources，In talent training、Remarkable results have been achieved in theoretical research and software development，Contribute a lot to the construction of new power systems。
