Title:
Virtual plant
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP6008208
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
The virtual power station (10) includes electrical power generators (20) for providing electrical power via an electrical power distribution network (40, 50) to power consuming devices (60). The virtual power station (10) further includes responsive load controls (120) with associated responsive loads (30). The responsive load controls (120) control power consumption of the responsive loads (30) with respect to a physical variable of the electrical power distribution network (40, 50) for stabilizing operation of the electrical power distribution network (40, 50). The responsive loads (30) execute a response signature and monitor and communicate their power demand arising from execution of the response signature to a central controller (140). From the information supplied by the responsive loads (30), the central controller (140) determines a measure of available responsive load capacity which, in turn, offers improvements in the management of the supply of power by the virtual power station.
