[0044] The embodiments of the present application disclose a virtual power plant control method and system based on edge computing, which can efficiently schedule power resources, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the power system. The following will be described in detail respectively.

[0045] Figure 1 It is a schematic flowchart of a virtual power plant control method based on edge computing disclosed in an embodiment of the present application. Among them, Figure 1 The described virtual power plant control method based on edge computing is applicable to an edge server. AsFigure 1 As shown in Figure 1 , the edge computing-based virtual power plant control method may include the following steps:

[0046] Step S101, obtaining the operation data and power supply and demand of the virtual power plant.

[0047] Currently, the mainstream method for power system data processing is cloud computing. Cloud computing integrates computing devices through a cloud platform to form a cloud computing resource pool. Users upload data to the cloud, and after the cloud completes the calculation, the data is returned to the user side. With the continuous increase of terminal devices, the data scale and complexity have been rising continuously, and the data processing ability and decision-making ability of cloud computing have faced huge challenges. In order to ensure that the supply-demand interaction can play an effective role in the power Internet of Things with multi-terminal access, a new data processing method is urgently needed to share the pressure of cloud computing.

[0048] As an emerging computing paradigm, edge computing has been increasingly applied to the field of power system data processing in recent years. Different from the way of cloud computing that centralizes data to the cloud platform for unified processing, edge computing processes data through devices with certain computing capabilities at the network edge, realizing in-situ processing of data near the data source, meeting the low-latency requirements of some computing tasks, alleviating the computing burden of the cloud computing platform, thereby improving the data processing efficiency and reducing the transmission of data in the communication network, enhancing the data security.

[0049] In some embodiments, the edge computing system is divided into four layers: cloud, pipe, edge, and terminal. "Cloud" represents the cloud server, that is, the cloud platform deployed in the power system, including the cloud computing center, cloud data center, and resource pool. The cloud server manages global information. As the upper layer of edge computing, it has the advantages of strong computing power, large storage space, and wide control range, and is responsible for allocating resources for edge computing terminals and collaborating with edge computing terminals to solve some complex data processing problems. Among them, the cloud computing center aggregates computing resources. "Pipe" represents the network layer, that is, the overall management system of the power system information network, responsible for providing data communication between "cloud-edge" and "edge-edge". "Edge" represents the edge layer, which is the core of the edge computing system. It usually refers to edge devices located on the edge side of the information network, including devices such as smart meters and drones, which act as edge computing terminals, edge gateways, edge servers, etc., integrating a series of data processing applications and communication functions, and being able to provide various computing services for data locally. "Terminal" represents the terminal layer, including various power system energy supply and demand terminals, such as photovoltaic power plants, buildings, electric vehicles, etc. The terminal device layer is the source of data generation, with limited data processing ability, and is usually responsible for data perception, uploading, and executing commands issued by the edge device layer or cloud service layer.

[0050] As an alternative implementation, the operation data of the virtual power plant and the power plant supply and demand are downloaded in the cloud; the operation data of the virtual power plant includes: power generation, power supply, energy storage device status, average load, distributed power source status, and system maintenance records. Among them, the power plant supply and demand can be used to describe the power supply situation of the power plant and the power consumption required by users. Downloading the operation data of the virtual power plant and the power plant supply and demand in the cloud can improve the efficiency of data acquisition, thereby providing a basis for calculating the operation plan of the virtual power plant.

[0051] After downloading the operation data of the virtual power plant and the power plant supply and demand in the cloud, the operation data of the virtual power plant and the power plant supply and demand can be stored in the edge server. The data generated by edge computing and the data to be calculated collected are generally stored through three technologies: First, for data that the user side does not need to access in real time or has low requirements for real-time performance, such as system upgrade files, historical data that has been calculated, etc., the edge computing terminal usually selects the cloud-edge collaborative storage technology for storage. That is, all these data are uploaded to the cloud for storage, and at the same time, the latest several versions of backups are retained on the edge side. This method not only saves the precious storage resources of the edge storage system but also does not cause losses due to slow data reading. Second, for the data to be calculated and the calculated data with high requirements for real-time performance, the edge side first reduces the data scale through technologies such as model compression and model lightweighting, and then stores it in the edge storage system, realizing the sharing of key data on the edge side. Compared with cloud storage, the edge storage system has better real-time performance and convenience. Third, for some data with extremely high real-time requirements for data processing, edge computing adopts stream computing technology to achieve edge stream processing of data, that is, generating, storing, and calculating immediately. Stream computing provides continuous and dynamic analysis of a large amount of data streams and does not require pre-storing the data.

[0052] Step S102, calculate the control parameters of the edge end according to the power plant supply and demand.

[0053] Step S103, calculate the operation plan of the virtual power plant according to the operation data of the virtual power plant and the edge end control parameters.

[0054] In some embodiments, a virtual power plant operation planning model is constructed in the edge server; the operation data of the virtual power plant and the edge end control parameters are input into the virtual power plant operation planning model; the virtual power plant operation planning model outputs the operation plan of the virtual power plant. Among them, the operation plan of the virtual power plant can be used to indicate the overall operation situation of the virtual power plant, including the allocation of power resources and the solution to the problem of power resource storage.

[0055] As an alternative implementation, the edge server processes the operation data of the virtual power plant to obtain the processed operation data of the virtual power plant; the processed operation data of the virtual power plant and the edge control parameters are input into the virtual power plant operation planning model. Among them, processing the operation data of the virtual power plant may include one or more of data cleaning methods such as deduplication and deletion of error data, which is not limited here. By processing the operation data of the virtual power plant to obtain the processed operation data of the virtual power plant, the accuracy of the calculated operation plan can be improved.

[0056] As an alternative implementation, after downloading the operation data of the virtual power plant and the power plant supply and demand in the cloud, the operation data of the virtual power plant and the power plant supply and demand can be encrypted to obtain the encrypted operation data and power plant supply and demand. When processing data at the supply and demand terminal, the privacy and security of information need to be emphasized. Because the data received by the edge computing terminal contains a large amount of privacy and confidential data of generator sets, key equipment, and users, the leakage of this data will pose a huge security threat. The edge server does not have the information protection ability of the cloud server. Therefore, the edge server is currently a key target of information attacks, which brings a huge challenge to the information protection ability of edge computing. For this reason, edge computing can use one or more of data encryption technology, blockchain technology, or dynamic control technology after supply and demand terminal attacks to encrypt the operation data of the virtual power plant and the power plant supply and demand, and obtain the encrypted operation data and power plant supply and demand.

[0057] Data encryption technology is the most direct method to protect data security. Edge computing terminals usually use digital encryption methods such as digital signatures and homomorphic cryptography to encrypt the data immediately after receiving it, and transmit this data through data aggregation communication technology. In addition, some innovative data encryption methods have also been proposed in related research. For example, an edge information encryption system based on double-door traps can improve the privacy, confidentiality, and integrity of data.

[0058] Blockchain is a distributed technology with the characteristics of security, trust, and anti-tampering. As a distributed system, edge computing provides support for the successful deployment of blockchain. Using the consensus mechanism, identity isolation algorithm, zero-knowledge proof, etc. of blockchain can effectively protect the data generated by the supply and demand terminal. At present, some research has contributed to the aspect of edge computing supporting blockchain technology to protect data privacy.

[0059] After the supply-demand terminal is attacked, the dynamic control technology is to face network attacks. In addition to protecting data, corresponding methods after being attacked also need to be considered. The dynamic control technology first identifies network events on the edge side. When detecting network attack behaviors, the edge computing terminal will issue corresponding security response control instructions and modify the response strategy according to the development of the event, so as to reduce the losses caused by network attacks and reduce their harm.

[0060] Step S104: Send the virtual power plant operation plan to the cloud server, and the cloud server controls the operation of the virtual power plant according to the operation plan of the virtual power plant.

[0061] The cloud server is the control center of the virtual power plant. The formulation of various strategies for the supply-demand interaction of the virtual power plant is completed by the cloud server, and the operation plan is also generated by the cloud platform and sent to each node. In some embodiments, the virtual power plant operation plan is sent to the cloud server, and the cloud server can control the operation of the virtual power plant according to the operation plan of the virtual power plant and send the operation plan to each node controlled by the cloud server.

[0062] In the embodiment of the present application, the operation data of the virtual power plant and the power plant supply-demand are obtained; the control parameters of the edge side are calculated according to the power plant supply-demand; the operation plan of the virtual power plant is calculated according to the operation data of the virtual power plant and the edge side control parameters; the virtual power plant operation plan is sent to the cloud server, and the cloud server controls the operation of the virtual power plant according to the operation plan of the virtual power plant. According to the obtained operation data of the virtual power plant and the control parameters of the edge calculated according to the power plant supply-demand, the operation plan of the virtual power plant is calculated and the virtual power plant operation plan is sent to the cloud server, and the cloud server controls the operation of the virtual power plant according to the operation plan of the virtual power plant, which can improve the efficiency and flexibility of processing the data of the virtual power plant, thereby improving the efficiency of calculating the operation plan of the virtual power plant.

[0063] Figure 2 It is a schematic flowchart of another virtual power plant control method based on edge computing disclosed in the embodiment of the present application. In one embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, the method further includes the following steps:

[0064] Step S201: Obtain the operation data of the virtual power plant and the power plant supply-demand.

[0065] Step S202: Calculate the control parameters of the edge side according to the power plant supply-demand.

[0066] Step S203: Calculate the operation plan of the virtual power plant according to the operation data of the virtual power plant and the edge side control parameters.

[0067] Step S204: Send the virtual power plant operation plan to the cloud server, and the cloud server controls the operation of the virtual power plant according to the operation plan of the virtual power plant.

[0068] For the descriptions of Steps S201 - S204, reference can be made to the descriptions of Steps S101 - S104, which will not be elaborated here.

[0069] Step S205: Collect the operation status information of the virtual power plant through the edge server.

[0070] Step S206: Monitor the operation of the virtual power plant according to the operation status information of the virtual power plant.

[0071] In some embodiments, the operation status information of the virtual power plant may include the operation status information of the power transmission side and the operation status information of the power transformation side of the virtual power plant. Among them, the operation status information of the power transmission side may include current data, voltage data, temperature parameters, etc. on the power transmission side. The operation status information of the power transformation side includes transformation voltage data, frequency conversion data, etc. for high - voltage power transformation.

[0072] Furthermore, if it is detected that the operation status information of the virtual power plant indicates that the current operation is abnormal, an exception report is generated according to the operation status information and the exception report is fed back to the cloud server.

[0073] The edge server can collect the operation status information of the virtual power plant in real time and monitor this operation status information. Once an abnormality occurs, the edge node can issue an alarm in a timely manner to notify the operation and maintenance personnel for repair. The combination of real - time fault monitoring and rapid response helps to reduce the power outage time and improve the reliability and security of the supply - demand interaction. In addition, the edge server can also be used for power transmission line inspection. The specific implementation method is to conduct automated inspection of the power transmission line through edge - computing devices such as drones and helicopters equipped with functions such as intelligent recognition to maintain the stable power transmission of the power transmission line and thus ensure the implementation of the supply - demand interaction strategy.

[0074] The power transformation side is responsible for transforming and frequency - converting the electric energy transmitted by the high - voltage power transmission line to meet the power consumption requirements of different voltage levels. The operation status of the substation directly affects the stability of the supply - demand interaction. Only when parameters such as voltage and frequency in the power system are stable within a certain range can the relevant strategies of the supply - demand interaction be implemented. Edge computing can deploy small computing devices inside the substation to process sensor data locally in real time, reducing data transmission latency. The edge - computing terminal can analyze data through processing methods such as data fusion and dynamic deduction, which helps to detect potential problems, such as current overload and voltage abnormality, more quickly. Edge computing can also analyze historical data and apply machine - learning algorithms to predict the possibility of equipment failure. This helps to formulate more effective maintenance plans, reduce downtime, and improve the reliability of equipment.
