Energy Aggregation Platform (VPP)
It is a complex based on advanced metering, communication, control and
other technologies. It gathers resources such as distributed power
sources and flexible loads, breaks the constraints of geographically
dispersed locations and power grids at different levels, participates
in electricity market transactions through cloud-edge collaboration
and optimized control, and at the same time optimizes resource
utilization and improves the stability of the large power grid and the
reliability of power supply.
Energy Aggregation Platform (VPP)
Dingchen Energy’s VPP utilizes the framework of the IoT and big data
platforms. Relying on the platform’s powerful resource integration
capabilities, it has created the Virtual Power Plant Energy
Aggregation Platform. Through the VPP, it assists industrial and
commercial enterprises to participate in electricity spot market
transactions, realizes the aggregation and coordinated control of
distributed energy sources such as distributed power sources, energy
storage microgrids, energy storage systems, controllable loads, and
electric vehicles. It participates in the electricity market and power
grid operation as a special power plant, receives power grid
dispatching instructions, participates in the demand-side response,
and provides power grid auxiliary services. It also realizes functions
such as power and electricity balance of “source-grid-load-storage”,
energy storage management, strategic operation, and optimized and
coordinated operation.

Homepage Dashboard
Provide real-time monitoring and data display of virtual power
plants, including resource status, load conditions, power generation
volume, energy storage status, etc. Display through visual charts
(such as reports, curves, pie charts, bar charts, etc.) to
facilitate operation and maintenance personnel to understand the
operation status of resources in real time and regulate the
terminals of virtual power plants based on different regulation and
control strategies.
Invitation Management
The invitation management function is used to manage customer
invitations, including invitation plan management, load baseline
prediction, centralized regulation and control, etc. Through these
functions, the energy aggregation platform can efficiently manage
customer invitations, ensure that each invitation and follow-up can
be carried out at the best time, improve work efficiency, and reduce
missed opportunities caused by human negligence.
Execution Monitoring
Execution monitoring can accurately control every link of the
invitation execution, monitor the baseline of resource points, the
trends of real-time power and planned power in real time, ensure the
accuracy and timeliness of data, enable customers to easily grasp
the execution dynamics, optimize resource allocation, and ensure
that each invitation is accurately executed.
Settlement Management
The settlement management function is used to manage the settlement
process of the energy aggregation platform, including daily
earnings, bill flow, customer bill records and payments. The system
records the earnings and bills of all executed plans, and the
settlement status of the executed plan bills can be viewed. Users
can query and manage the settlement statements according to specific
conditions or filters. The settlement management system records the
settlement of fund business and other related businesses based on
the documents provided by banks, internal documents of enterprises,
vouchers, etc.
Potential Evaluation
The potential evaluation function is used to evaluate the resource
potential of the energy aggregation platform, including the
potential prediction of power generation resources and load
resources. Through accurate load prediction, the energy aggregation
platform can optimize power trading strategies and increase
earnings. Based on the historical data of loads and the project
operating condition data, the platform uses trend analysis methods,
regression analysis methods, deep learning algorithms, etc. to
accurately predict the adjustable capacity, response capacity and
electricity consumption trend of loads, providing reliable data and
accurate execution simulation for resource allocation.
Resource Center
The resource center integrates enterprise information, customer
management, contract management and resource management functions to
achieve comprehensive management of the energy aggregation platform,
ensure detailed maintenance of resources, accurate service for
customer needs, accurate execution of contracts and optimized
scheduling of resources, and improve the operating efficiency and
economy of the system.

Success Stories
A project in Xiamen with a capacity of 20MWh was connected to the
Virtual Power Plant Center, becoming the first case of a connection
exceeding 20MWh, and helping to stabilize the power grid and promote
energy transformation.
A project in Xiamen was connected to the Xiamen Virtual Power Plant.
The “Photovoltaic + Energy Storage + Sodium-ion Battery” energy
demonstration project of a certain project in Xiamen has successfully
connected an energy storage capacity of 20MWh to the Xiamen Virtual
Power Plant Center, becoming an important part of this platform. It
took only 3 months from project initiation to grid connection. The
integrated construction plan of photovoltaic and energy storage was
adopted. Through the joint operation of the energy storage system and
the photovoltaic power station, the power balance of the system was
improved, the stability was enhanced, the output fluctuation was
smoothed, and the absorption capacity was improved, helping the green
power to be connected to the grid smoothly. The Xiamen Virtual Power
Plant platform was launched for trial operation on June 7, 2023,
aggregating 400,000 kilowatts of socially adjustable load resources.
By adjusting the adjustable resources, the stability and reliability
of the power grid were enhanced, and the absorption of new energy was
promoted. It not only improved its own energy management capabilities
but also provided support for the stable operation of the Xiamen power
grid, promoting the green transformation and sustainable development
of regional energy.
