Nowadays, the integration of intermittent and unpredictable Renewable Energy Sources (RESs) has led to new issues for the electrical system. The paper proposes a model, named Virtual Power System (VPS), which enables the management of generators and loads as a single (virtual) entity in order to achieve a “global” benefit, i.e. to improve the capability of the grid to host RESs. Moreover Energy Storage Systems (ESSs) could be integrated in the VPS in order to provide ancillary services: voltage regulation, primary frequency regulation and exchange profiles adjustment for a better RESs programmability. This work proposes a quantitative approach for ESSs design and integration in a VPS. Numerical results are reported with respect to an experimental application in the AlpStore project (Alpine Space Program 2007-2013)
