Two-Stage Profit Allocation Method for Virtual Power Plant Based on Propensity to Disrupt

A two-stage profit allocation method for the virtual power plant (VPP) is studied in this paper. This method considers the VPPs participation in the day-ahead market and real-time market. Compared with the traditional allocation methods, the proposed method allocates the profit separately to keep the consistency of the two stages, which means this method is acceptable for all members in the VPP during the two stages. Moreover, considering the contribution of the VPP operator, the profit of the VPP operator is allocated by this method. Through the proposed method, the propensity to disrupt the cooperation will decrease. Numerical tests verify the two-stage allocation method on different response scenarios.
