The invention discloses a
virtual power plant optimal scheduling method based on a contraction space harmony
algorithm, which comprises the following steps: S1, constructing a
virtual power plant aggregated by a photo-thermal power
plant, a thermal power plant and a
clean energy power plant, and determining a scheduling optimization objective function and constraint conditions of the virtual powerplant according to the net income maximization of the
virtual power plant; S2, taking the scheduling optimization objective function as an
evaluation function of a contraction space harmony
algorithm, and taking the constraint condition as a harmony variable constraint interval of the contraction space harmony
algorithm; and S3, according to the
evaluation function and the harmony variable constraint interval, obtaining the maximum value of the
evaluation function and the harmony variable enabling the evaluation function to take the maximum value by using a contraction space harmony algorithm. The method has the advantages of being simple in implementation method, flexible in application and the like, the solving efficiency of the power dispatching scheme can be effectively improved, andthe power dispatching scheme which is more reasonable and better in economic benefit can be obtained.
