石油设备网讯 据TradeArabia网迪拜4月11日消息 迪拜电力和水务局(Dewa)表示，已与加拿大Enbala公司合作，建立该地区第一个虚拟发电厂(VPP)。
VPP是一个由分布式、中小型发电单元(如太阳能光伏、电池存储和柔性负载)组成的智能网络。其目标是提高分布式能源(DER)的可见度，并通过提供电网服务(如调峰、频率调节或能源平衡)使其价值最大化。
迪拜公用事业公司在一份声明中表示，试点项目VPP是Dewa位于Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum太阳能工业园的研发中心与Enbala之间富有成效的研究合作的结果。
它将作为一个平台，聚集选定的分布式能源，并将混合投资组合作为连接到电网的单个传统发电厂进行管理。该公司补充称，这项先进技术使用人工智能，使各种类型的能源能够整合到Dewa的智能电网中。
Dewa的管理负责人兼首席执行官Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer表示：“我们正在努力实现阿联酋的愿景，使迪拜成为世界上最智能，最高效的城市，实现阿联酋的目标2071年的百年纪念，2021年的阿联酋愿景和2021年的迪拜计划，使迪拜成为一个智能和可持续发展的城市。”
他补充称:“按照Dewa成为全球领先的可持续创新企业的愿景，我们寻求塑造地方、地区和全球能源行业的未来。我们将紧跟第四次工业革命的步伐，采用创新的颠覆性技术来预测和塑造能源的未来。”
虚拟发电厂将提高可再生能源的整合能力，支持迪拜2050年清洁能源战略，使迪拜75%的能源来自清洁能源。

Dewa, Canada's Enbala build region's first virtual power plant
Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) said it has joined hands with Canadian company Enbala to build the region’s first Virtual Power Plant (VPP).
A VPP is a smart network of distributed, small and medium scale generation units such as solar photovoltaic, battery storage and flexible loads. The aim is to increase the visibility of distributed energy resources (DER), and maximise their value by providing grid services such as peak shaving, frequency regulation or energy balancing.
The pilot VPP is a result of a fruitful research collaboration between Dewa’s Research and Development Centre at the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park and Enbala, said a statement from the Dubai utility.
It will act as a platform that aggregates selected distributed energy resources and manage the mixed portfolio as a single conventional power plant connected to the grid. The advanced technology uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enable integration of various types of energy into Dewa’s smart grid, it added.
"We are working to achieve the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to make Dubai the smartest and happiest city in the world, and fulfil the objectives of the UAE Centennial 2071, the UAE Vision 2021, and the Dubai Plan 2021 to make Dubai a smart and sustainable city," remarked Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, the managing dirctor and CEO of Dewa.
"In line with Dewa’s vision to become a globally leading sustainable innovative corporation, we seek to shape the future of the local, regional, and global energy sectors.We will do this by keeping pace with the Fourth Industrial Revolution and adopting innovative disruptive technologies to anticipate and shape the future of energy." he noted .
The virtual power plant will increase renewable energy integration capabilities, supporting the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 to produce 75 per cent of Dubai's total energy from clean energy sources.
