In general, the grid-integration of PV systems involves several components, as shown in Fig. 6, where the PV panels are the power sources, the power electronics converter is in charge of the power delivery to the grid (i.e., to realize the power conditioning), and the grid as the load has specific requirements that should be followed.
General grid-connected PV systems, where the power converter is responsible for the power conditioning according to the grid requirements (PCC – point of common coupling; RMS – root-mean-square; IGBT – insulated-gate bipolar transistor).

Virtual power plants (VPPs), integrating multiple distributed energy resources, offer a promising solution for enhancing grid stability and reliability . However, challenges persist in effectively managing the variability of renewable energy generation and ensuring grid stability . Existing research highlights several critical shortcomings:
The “virtual” nature of VPPs comes from its lack of a central physical facility, like a traditional coal or gas plant. By generating electricity and balancing the energy load, the aggregated batteries and solar panels provide many of the functions of conventional power plants. They also have unique advantages.
The transition to renewable energy sources and distributed energy generation (DG) has spurred the global evolution of energy production methods. However, virtual power plants (VPPs) face challenges due to fluctuations in renewable energy sources (RES) production, such as those from photovoltaics and wind turbines.
