Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of power system control, and in particular relates to a virtual power plant system for DC loads and an operation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Traditional DC load distribution technology simply rectifies the mains power to DC on the distribution side. While this eliminates the need for rectifier modules in most load devices and improves overall load energy efficiency, as load power consumption continues to rise, the harmonic impact of rectifier modules on the grid cannot be ignored. Furthermore, the integration of renewable energy sources poses challenges to grid stability. Directly absorbing renewable energy generation at the distribution side would facilitate the development of a new power system. In recent years, with the rapid rise of new energy and energy storage technologies, energy internet technology has matured. This emerging energy internet model requires the parallel use of multiple energy sources to achieve "multi-source complementarity," prioritizes renewable energy, and requires coordinated collaboration across all links to reduce electricity costs. Virtual power plants can optimize the scheduling of distributed power sources across multiple regions and large areas, mitigating the impact of renewable energy integration on the load side. The combination of distributed generation and consumer-side equipment provides a cleaner and more efficient new energy supply model, fostering a wave of clean, DC-based loads, facilitating seamless integration of distributed energy resources and consumer-side equipment. With the integration of a large number of renewable energy sources, optimizing the utilization of DC power has become a key component of this energy supply model. Summary of the Invention
