Thesis Overview:
The Influence of AI in Virtual Power Plants
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies in the energy sector has revolutionized the way energy is managed and distributed. Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) have emerged as a key concept in the transition towards a more sustainable and efficient energy system. This thesis explores the influence of AI in VPPs and its implications for the energy industry.
Chapter 1 provides an introduction to the research topic, outlining the background, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the thesis, and definition of terms. Chapter 2 presents a comprehensive literature review on VPPs, AI technologies in energy management, benefits, challenges, current trends, case studies, regulatory framework, future prospects, and a comparison of AI vs traditional energy management systems.
Chapter 3 details the research methodology, including research design, data collection methods, sampling techniques, data analysis procedures, ethical considerations, validity, reliability, limitations, challenges, and timeframe. Chapter 4 discusses the findings of the research, analyzing data collected, comparing AI vs traditional systems, examining the impact on efficiency and sustainability, cost-benefit analysis, stakeholder perspectives, policy implications, future research directions, recommendations for industry practitioners, and implications for energy policy makers.
Chapter 5 concludes the thesis, summarizing key findings, contributions to existing literature, practical and theoretical implications, recommendations for future research, and a final conclusion on the influence of AI in VPPs. This thesis aims to provide valuable insights for industry professionals, policymakers, and researchers in the energy sector to understand the potential of AI in transforming the landscape of virtual power plants.
