Virtual power plants (VPPs), integrating multiple distributed energy resources, offer a promising solution for enhancing grid stability and reliability . However, challenges persist in effectively managing the variability of renewable energy generation and ensuring grid stability . Existing research highlights several critical shortcomings:
Virtual Power Plants are transforming how the modern grid operates by uniting distributed energy resources into a flexible, coordinated network. Paired with advanced battery storage, VPPs enhance reliability, unlock new revenue streams, and support deeper renewable integration.
The proposed virtual power plant integrates photovoltaic (PV) and wind turbine (WT) systems into a microgrid topology, facilitating efficient energy management across generation, storage, distribution, and consumption components. Communication systems enable real-time monitoring and control for optimal system operation.
Conclusions This study demonstrates that integrating IoT technologies with Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) not only enhances grid stability, optimizes renewable energy utilization, and supports sustainable energy goals in smart cities, but also offers a scalable, replicable model for regions with geographical and climatic conditions similar to Oman.
