  • Abstract
    In this paper the authors propose a market strategy of a microgrid incorporating a virtual power plant. For exemplification, a configuration consisting of different types of distributed generators are considered. The aim of the virtual power plant is to maximize the profit by appropriate bidding strategy on the electricity market and optimal use of the sources.
