Abstract: The consumption of new energy is the main support for achieving the dual-carbon national strategic goal. However, with the continuous increase in the penetration rate of new energy, conventional generation units as the main flexibility regulation resources in power grids are gradually being phased out, which results in the inability to guarantee the secure operation for power systems and thus greatly restricts the consumption of new energy. Flexible regulation resources including energy storage and virtual power plants can play an important role in power grid operations, and reasonable application them can help better ensure the secure, high-quality, economical, and low-carbon operations for power systems. However, the participation of the flexible resources in the regulation and operation and related market mechanisms require research and exploration to adapt to the construction and development of new power systems. This subject is to conduct extensive solicitation for key technologies related to the participation of flexible resources such as energy storage and virtual power plants in the operations and regulation of power systems, as well as commercial mechanisms, to promote the full utilization of flexible regulation resources and solve theoretical problems for flexible resources in new power systems.
