The recent globalization, liberalization, and
diversification of the energy market and the penetration
of distributed energy resources (DERs) on the grid urge
the solution of new technical challenges: for market
actors to coordinate the operation of DERs to trade energy
on the market, and for system operators to devise
efficient and safe market mechanisms. Taking the
opportunity of presenting the results of the European
research project E-PRICE “Price-based control of
electrical power systems”, the goal of the workshop is to
share point of views and stimulate discussions with
representatives from academia and industry about novel
engineering solutions for aggregating DERs in virtual
power plants and participating on the day-ahead and
real-time electricity markets.
