Study of Different Management Mechanisms for Distributed Energy Resources

In the context of distributed energy resources with small capacity, decentralized, heterogeneous characteristics, and increasing scale, it becomes especially important to choose the appropriate way to manage distributed energy. In this study, five typical approaches of distributed energy management are introduced, including management based on the local market, management based on direct control, management based on dynamic tariff, and management based on virtual power plant-based management. Through comparative analysis, distributed energy resources management based on the virtual power plant has good adaptability to the current information and communication technology and power market of the power system compared with other approaches.
