[0002] With the accelerated promotion of power market reform and the accelerated construction of new power systems, virtual power plants are actively exploring the normalization of market transactions and grid interaction, and have initially formed a diversified market transaction system covering "medium and long-term transactions + auxiliary service transactions + spot transactions" and demand response.

[0003] At present, in the process of rapid development of virtual power plants, the types of access resources are increasing, and the covered areas are continuously expanding, resulting in insufficient flexibility of virtual power plants as a whole in participating in grid interaction. In cross-regional resource regulation, virtual power plants cannot meet the precise regulation demand of distribution networks.

[0030] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a dynamic partitioning system for virtual power plant units. Detailed Implementation

[0031] The invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] The method for dynamically partitioning virtual power plant units according to the present invention includes the following steps:

[0033] Step S1: By mapping the adjustable resources of the virtual power plant to the grid control nodes, a physical link relationship database is formed, and a resource-grid topology mapping model is established.

[0034] Based on the user ID and metering point ID of the marketing system, a "transformer (distribution transformer) - household (user, metering point)" relationship is formed; based on the GIS model and distribution network model data, a "line (feeder) - transformer (distribution transformer)" relationship is derived; according to the main distribution model, virtual power plant resources directly connected to the 110kV busbar via 10kV lines and transformers are connected to the 110kV control node, while other virtual power plant resources connected to the 220kV busbar via 10kV lines and three-winding transformers are aggregated to the 220kV control node, forming a "station-line" relationship, thus constructing a "station-line-transformer-household" topology network structure for the adjustable resources of virtual power plants. The adjustable resources of virtual power plants are then mapped to the power grid control nodes, forming a physical connection relationship database.

[0035] Step S2: Set up a multi-dimensional tagging system for each adjustable resource in the virtual power plant, including grid attributes, market attributes, and resource characteristics.

[0036] The multi-dimensional labeling system includes grid attributes, such as access voltage level, control node location, and electrical distance; market attributes, such as market type of willingness to participate in the market, declared power generation and consumption characteristics, and regulation capacity; and resource attributes, such as power generation / load type, regulation rate, and duration.

[0037] Step S3: The virtual power plant units are divided using a step-by-step partitioning strategy. The first step is partitioning by market type, the second step is partitioning by grid topology, and the third step is classifying by resource characteristics.

[0038] A step-by-step partitioning strategy is adopted to divide virtual power plant units. The first step is to divide them according to market type, such as spot market units, frequency regulation ancillary service units, peak shaving ancillary service units, and demand response units. The second step is to divide them according to grid topology, further subdividing units participating in the regulation market according to their region and units participating in the spot market according to the clearing node voltage level (220kV / 110kV). The third step is to classify them according to resource characteristics, and under the same market and topology grouping, secondary clustering is performed based on resources with similar external regulation characteristics.

[0039] Step S4: Perform a capability test on the divided virtual power plant units. If the capability test fails, the virtual power plant units are re-divided.

[0040] The capacity testing of the divided virtual power plant units shall refer to the local virtual power plant management regulations and relevant local power market policies, including regulation capacity, regulation accuracy, duration, response time, etc. If the capacity test is passed, a virtual power plant unit is formed. If the capacity test is not passed, the virtual power plant units need to be re-divided according to the step-by-step division strategy.

[0041] Step S5: Establish a periodic re-partitioning mechanism to dynamically adjust the virtual power plant unit when the re-partitioning condition is triggered.

[0042] The repartitioning conditions include binding / unbinding of important equipment or resources, major adjustments to market rules, and changes in the power grid topology. When the repartitioning conditions are triggered, the virtual power plant units are dynamically adjusted.

[0043] The virtual power plant unit dynamic partitioning system of the present invention includes:

[0044] The topology modeling module is used to construct resource-grid topology mapping relationships;

[0045] The resource tagging module is used to maintain a multi-dimensional attribute tag database for the adjustable resources of the virtual power plant;

[0046] The unit management module is used to implement the step-by-step division of virtual power plant units, and supports both manual and automatic modes.

[0047] The measurement data acquisition module is used to collect power data and calculate regulation limits on a virtual power plant unit basis.

[0048] Interaction Interface Module: Supports standardized data interaction with other external systems.

[0049] Furthermore, a "transformer (distribution transformer) - household (user, metering point)" relationship is formed based on the user ID and metering point ID of the marketing system; a "line (feeder) - transformer (distribution transformer)" relationship is derived based on GIS model and distribution network model data; according to the main distribution model, virtual power plant resources directly connected to the 110kV bus via 10kV lines and transformers are aggregated to the 110kV control node, while other virtual power plant resources connected to the 220kV bus via 10kV lines and three-winding transformers are aggregated to the 220kV control node, forming a "station-line" relationship, thus constructing a "station-line-transformer-household" topology network structure for the adjustable resources of virtual power plants. The adjustable resources of virtual power plants are then mapped to the power grid control nodes, forming a physical connection relationship database.

[0050] Furthermore, the system establishes a multi-dimensional tagging system for each adjustable resource in the virtual power plant. This multi-dimensional tagging system includes: grid attributes (such as access voltage level, control node location, and electrical distance); market attributes (such as market type of intended participation, declared power generation and consumption characteristics, and regulation capacity); and resource characteristics (such as generation / load type, regulation rate, and duration). The system supports modifying resource tags.

[0051] Furthermore, the virtual power plant unit management module is used to implement the step-by-step division of virtual power plant units, supporting both manual and automatic modes. The automatic mode supports automatic step-by-step division of virtual power plant units. The first step is division by market type, such as spot market units, frequency regulation ancillary service units, peak shaving ancillary service units, and demand response units. The second step is division by grid topology, further subdividing units participating in the regulation market according to their region, and units participating in the spot market according to the clearing node voltage level (220kV / 110kV). The third step is classification by resource characteristics, performing secondary clustering based on resources with similar external regulation characteristics within the same market and topology group.

[0052] Furthermore, the measurement data acquisition module performs real-time power acquisition and calculates regulation limits on a virtual power plant unit basis; the interaction interface module supports standardized data interaction with other external systems.
