contents This article explores a flexible and coordinated control design for an aggregation of heterogeneous distributed energy resources (DERs) in a dynamic virtual power plant (DVPP). The control design aims to provide a desired aggregate grid-forming (GFM) response based on the coordination of power contributions between different DERs. Compared to existing DVPP designs with an AC-coupled AC-output configuration, a more generic modular DVPP design is proposed in this article, which comprises four types of basic DVPP modules, involving AC- or DC-coupling and AC- or DC-output, adequately accommodating diverse DER integration setups, such as AC, DC, AC/DC hybrid microgrids and renewable power plants. The control design is first developed for the four basic modules by the aggregation of DERs and the disaggregation of the control objectives, and then extended to modular DVPPs through a systematic top-down approach. The control performance is comprehensively validated through simulation. The modular DVPP design offers scalable and standardizable advanced grid interfaces (AGIs) for building and operating AC/DC hybrid power grids.
