This Master’s Final Degree Project analyses Virtual Power Plant concept and possibility of its application for prosumers. The regulations of Network Usage and Network usage fee are analysed as well as tariffs for prosumers for feeding in the network and the historical dynamic of the tariffs is analysed. Tendencies of prosumers development and regulation are described as well as a survey dedicated for prosumers to understand the problems with current regulations and procedures. The concept of Virtual Power Plant is analysed as well as the development of Virtual Power Plants abroad, comparison of functionality of various Virtual Power Plants and the good practice of South Australia Virtual Power Plants. Economic evaluation of energy saving at the network (using current net-metering prosumers scheme) and energy trade at virtual power plant is performed. Network charging practices and its challenges are analysed. The components of network price are analysed and proposed pricing philosophy using variable costs. EA-PSM software functionality and LRAIC model are analysed in order to evaluate its capacity to determine network costs. Evaluation of the pricing of the energy trade using Virtual Power Plant is performed both from prosumer and residential energy consumer perspective. From the prosumer’s perspective, economical indexes of the solar power plant installation project are analysed due to the change in the price for the energy distribution in both low and medium voltage networks. From the residential consumer perspective, the energy savings made due to its connection to the virtual power plant are analysed. Analysis of regulation and legislation of the Virtual Power Plant are performed and recommendations for it are proposed. |
