With the continuous development of energy industry, the contradiction between supply and demand is becoming increasingly serious. In order to coordinate the contradiction between power system and distributed renewable energy, and deal with many challenges brought by new energy power to power system. We should fully exploit the value and benefits of new energy for power system and users. In this paper, a new urban virtual power plant system is proposed, which integrates distributed generation units, energy storage system and controllable load. It uses advanced data communication and coordinated control technology to realize the organic overall regulation and control of various types of distributed energy and load, to reduce the challenge of randomness and volatility of high penetration distributed generation to power grid operation and dispatching, and to alleviate the contradiction between supply and demand.
