This research addresses the challenge of optimizing energy dispatch in restructured power markets by evaluating a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) model that integrates demand-side storage. The study aims to close the gap between energy supply and demand by employing two optimization methodologies: a precise Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model and a hybrid algorithm based on an Extreme Learning Machine and a Genetic Algorithm (ELM-GA), which is computationally efficient. The VPP model incorporates a diverse portfolio of generation units (diesel, hydroelectric, solar, wind), supply-side storage, and a prosumer, with demand-side management actualized through a water storage system. The objectives are to maximize VPP profitability while minimizing hydroelectric energy losses and pump operational costs. Tested on a standard IEEE 24-bus system with real-world data, the results show that a VPP with demand-side storage is 1.5 times less costly than a traditional grid without storage. Furthermore, the VPP framework is 1.7 times more cost-effective than a traditional grid structure. For large-scale problems, the ELM-GA algorithm delivers near-optimal solutions (4.4% optimality gap) 16 times faster than MILP, highlighting its potential for rapid, reliable energy management and policy-making.
