[0002] A virtual power plant (VPP) is a power coordination management system that realizes the aggregation and coordinated optimization of distributed energy resources (DERs) such as distributed generators (DGs), energy storage systems, controllable loads, and electric vehicles through advanced information and communication technologies and software systems, and participates in the power market and grid operation as a special power plant.
[0003] The virtual power plant is located on the distribution network side by integrating distributed resources, and coordinates their operation into a controllable whole, thus effectively promoting the safe and stable operation of the power system. As an independent and equal market participant, the virtual power plant shows potential advantages in market transactions. Nevertheless, the risks it faces in participating in the market cannot be ignored, and the research on the optimization risk scheduling model of virtual power plants is relatively insufficient. Therefore, it is very urgent to conduct in-depth quantitative analysis on the specific contributions of various resources within the virtual power plant to the overall revenue and risk, so as to help achieve the balance between revenue and risk in the resource allocation process of the virtual power plant in practice.

[0108] As Figure 1 shown, the steps of the embodiment of the present invention are:
[0109] Step 1: Inside the virtual power plant, conduct a detailed analysis of the technical characteristics, response speed, and controllability of each distributed resource, and establish a resource model;
[0110] Step 2: For different markets participated by the virtual power plant, establish corresponding market models and establish an interface model between the virtual power plant and the market;
[0111] Step 3: Establish an overall operation optimization model for the virtual power plant;
[0112] Step 4: Establish a risk assessment model to identify the main risk factors that the virtual power plant may face in participating in the market, including price fluctuations, technical failures, and supply uncertainties, and obtain the overall risk index;

[0116] Specifically, step 1 includes:
[0117] Resource feature collection:
[0118] Collect the technical parameters of each distributed resource, such as power generation capacity, energy storage capacity, response speed, etc., and obtain the historical data of the resources, including power generation curves, response time distributions, etc.
[0119] Probability distribution modeling:
[0120] Perform probability distribution modeling on the resource capabilities, taking into account the influence of factors such as weather and seasons:
[0121]
[0122] Among them, μ is the mean and σ is the standard deviation.
[0123] Perform probability distribution modeling on the response speed, expressed as:
[0124] P(RT) = λe -λRT
[0125] Among them, λ is the rate parameter.
[0126] Controllability parameter modeling:
[0127] Establish controllability parameters, representing the schedulable range of the resources, and define controllability C (Control) as an interval, representing the schedulable range of the resources within a certain period of time.
[0128] Resource model integration:
[0129] Integrate the above probability distribution and controllability parameters to obtain the overall resource model. For example, the power generation and response time of the resources can be obtained through random sampling, while the controllability parameters limit the actual scheduling range.
[0130] The resource model established in this way can provide an accurate description of the resource characteristics of the virtual power plant in subsequent optimization and risk assessment.
[0131] Specifically, step 2 includes:
[0132] Market rule analysis:
[0133] Analyze the rules of each market, including price formation mechanisms, trading cycles, market participants, etc. Taking the electricity market as an example, consider the clearing price and supply-demand relationship of each time period.
[0134] Game theory modeling:
[0135] Use game theory to construct a game model between the virtual power plant and the market. Define the revenue function U of the virtual power planti , where \(i\) represents the participating market, considering the competition and cooperation relationships between the virtual power plant and other market participants:
[0136]
[0137] Price prediction model:
[0138] Establish a market price prediction model, considering external factors such as weather and demand. Assume the market price \(P\) i is related to the output \(G\) of the virtual power plant, the output \(G\) o of other market participants,
[0139] \(P\) i \(= f(G, G\) o , E)+\(\epsilon\)
[0140] Transaction mechanism interface modeling:
[0141] Establish an interaction interface model between the virtual power plant and the market. Define the clearing strategy \(Q\) i of the virtual power plant, representing the amount of electricity that the virtual power plant plans to clear in market \(i\). Considering the changes in market prices, the clearing strategy needs to find a balance between maximizing revenue and minimizing risk.
[0142] Clearing strategy optimization:
[0143]
[0144] Constraint conditions:
[0145]
[0146] Specifically, step 3 includes:
[0147] Objective function definition:
[0148] Design the objective function of the overall operation optimization model, covering multiple objectives such as maximizing the total revenue, minimizing the cost, and maximizing the security margin of the power system. Let \(f\) represent the objective function, which can be expressed as:
[0149] \(f = \alpha\cdot Profit - \beta\cdot Cost+\gamma\cdot Safety\_Margin\)
[0150] where \(\alpha\), \(\beta\), and \(\gamma\) are coefficients for weighing each objective.
[0151] Multi-objective optimization problem:
[0152] Model the overall operation optimization problem as a multi-objective optimization problem, define the decision variables, including the clearing strategies of each market, the scheduling plans of resources, etc., and set the objective function to maximize \(f\), that is:
[0153] Maximize f
[0154] The scheduling plan of the said resources is formulated by the virtual power plant based on the resource model to maximize the overall revenue, and the contribution of the resources is considered in the risk assessment; the virtual power plant uses the information provided by the market model to formulate the best operation strategy to maximize the revenue; and through the interface model, the interaction between the virtual power plant and the market is ensured.
[0155] Constraint conditions:
[0156] Introduce various constraint conditions to ensure the feasibility and stability of the system, including power balance constraint, market clearing constraint, resource availability constraint, etc. Representing the constraint conditions by h, it can be expressed as:
[0157] h(Q, G,...) = 0
[0158] Among them, Q represents the clearing strategy, and G represents the scheduling plan of the resources.
[0159] Application of multi-objective optimizer:
[0160] Use a multi-objective optimizer (such as NSGA-II, MOEA / D, etc.) to solve the above problems, and obtain a series of Pareto optimal solutions to form a solution set that weighs different objectives.
[0161] Through this multi-objective optimization model, the virtual power plant can find a set of balanced solutions in different markets while ensuring the safe and stable operation of the power system.
[0162] Specifically, step 4 includes:
[0163] Risk factor identification:
[0164] Identify the main risk factors that the virtual power plant may face when participating in the market, including but not limited to price fluctuations, technical failures, supply uncertainties, etc.
[0165] Probability distribution modeling:
[0166] Establish a corresponding probability distribution model for each risk factor. Taking price fluctuation as an example, assume that the price change conforms to a normal distribution, which is expressed as:
[0167]
[0168] μ is the mean value, and σ is the standard deviation.
[0169] Risk index definition:
[0170] Define corresponding risk indices for each risk factor. Taking price fluctuation as an example, the variance of price fluctuation can be defined as the risk index, which is expressed as:
[0171] Risk Price = Var(ΔP)
[0172] Comprehensive risk indicator:
[0173] Integrate the indicators of each risk factor to form an overall risk indicator. Methods such as weighted average can be used to obtain the overall risk indicator:
[0174]
[0175] Through this risk assessment model, the virtual power plant can quantify the impacts of different risk factors and consider risk management factors in overall operation.
[0176] Specifically, step 5 includes:
[0177] Comprehensive objective function:
[0178] Combine the objective function of the overall operation optimization model with the risk indicator of the risk assessment model to form a comprehensive objective function:
[0179] f = α·Profit - β·Cost + γ·Safety_Margin - δ·total_Risk
[0180] Where δ is the risk trade-off coefficient.
[0181] Redefinition of the multi-objective optimization problem:
[0182] Redefine the multi-objective optimization problem, considering the new comprehensive objective function. Incorporate the overall risk indicator of the risk assessment as a constraint to form:
[0183] Maximize f
[0184] Subject to Total_Risk ≤ Risk_Threshold
[0185] Where Risk_Threshold is the pre-set risk threshold.
[0186] Application of the collaborative optimizer:
[0187] Use a collaborative optimizer (such as the Weighted Aggregated Sum Approach) for collaborative optimization. The optimizer can find the Pareto optimal solution set under different trade-off coefficients, which balances the relationship between overall profit and risk.
[0188] Through this step, the virtual power plant can flexibly balance profit and risk in overall operation decisions and adjust the risk tolerance according to the actual situation.
[0189] Specifically, step 6 includes:
[0190] Real-time monitoring system:
[0191] Establish a real-time monitoring system to obtain market changes and distributed resource status in real time. Through data collection, sensors and other means, continuously update the system status information.
[0192] Model parameter adaptation:
[0193] Design a model parameter adaptation algorithm to adjust the parameters in the model based on real-time monitoring data. Consider using machine learning algorithms or adaptive control methods in control theory, for example:
[0194] θ new = θ old + η·ΔJ(θ old )
[0195] where θ new is the new parameter, θ old is the old parameter, η is the learning rate, is the gradient of the objective function J with respect to the parameter.
[0196] Feedback mechanism:
[0197] Introduce a feedback mechanism to compare the real-time monitoring data with the prediction results of the model. If the deviation between the model prediction results and the actual situation is large, adjust the model parameters in a timely manner through the feedback mechanism to improve the prediction accuracy of the model.
[0198] Robustness consideration:
[0199] Consider the robustness of the system during the parameter adjustment process to avoid overfitting the real-time data. A regularization term or a limit on the amplitude of parameter adjustment can be introduced to prevent the model from being too sensitive.
[0200] Through this step, the virtual power plant can achieve real-time perception of the market and resource status, and through the adaptive adjustment of model parameters, ensure that the prediction and optimization of the model remain accurate in a changing environment.
[0201] Specifically, step 7 includes:
[0202] Data preparation:
[0203] Collect actual market data and distributed resource operation data, including market prices, electricity demand, distributed resource generation data, etc., to ensure the quality and timeliness of the data.
[0204] System simulation model establishment:
[0205] Based on the actual data collected, a system simulation model is established, which needs to include a market trading model, a distributed resource model, an overall operation optimization model, and a risk assessment model. Specifically:
[0206] a Establishment of the market trading model:
[0207] Define the basic rules of market trading, considering the market price formation mechanism, trading cycle, etc. Taking the electricity market as an example, a market clearing model can be established, and the relationship between the market price P and the cleared electricity quantity Q of the virtual power plant can be set as:
[0208] P = f(Q) + ∈
[0209] Where f(Q) is the market clearing function and ∈ is the random fluctuation term of the price.
[0210] b Establishment of the distributed resource model:
[0211] Establish a detailed model for each distributed resource, considering its power generation capacity, response speed, etc. Taking solar power generation as an example, the power generation model can be used:
[0212] G = α·Solar_Radiation - β·Temperature + γ·Other_Factors - η·∈
[0213] c Establishment of the overall operation optimization model:
[0214] Integrate the market trading model and the distributed resource model into the overall operation optimization model, considering maximizing the overall revenue in different markets while ensuring the safe and stable operation of the power system. The objective function can be expressed as:
[0215] f = α·Profit - β·Cost + γ·Safety_Margin
[0216] d Establishment of the risk assessment model:
[0217] Model the risk factors, considering factors such as price fluctuations and technical failures. Taking price fluctuations as an example, the risk index can be expressed as the variance of the price:
[0218] Risk Price = Var(∈)
[0219] Obtain the overall risk index by synthesizing various risk factors:
[0220]
[0221] Through this system simulation model, the operation of the virtual power plant in the real market environment can be simulated, considering the characteristics of distributed resources and the complexity of market trading.
[0222] Simulation operation and verification:
[0223] Run the system simulation model to simulate the operation of the virtual power plant in the actual market environment, compare it with the actual market data, verify the accuracy and practicability of the model, and consider evaluation indicators such as total revenue, risk level, and system security.
[0224] Model parameter adjustment and optimization:
[0225] Based on the simulation results, adjust and optimize the parameters of the model. Optimization algorithms such as genetic algorithms and particle swarm algorithms can be used to continuously adjust the model parameters according to the simulation results to make the model better fit the actual situation.
[0226] Multiple rounds of iteration:
[0227] Conduct multiple rounds of simulation verification and optimization to gradually improve the operation efficiency and risk management level of the virtual power plant. Through multiple iterations of the model and algorithm, gradually approach the optimal solution, that is, the optimal system simulation model.
