Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power technology, specifically to a multi-objective robust optimization AI control method, system, and equipment for virtual power plants. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of new power systems, virtual power plants (VPPs), as key carriers for integrating distributed energy and realizing coordinated operation of power generation, grid, load and storage, are gradually moving towards the core of engineering practice and market transactions.
[0003] Currently, virtual power plants face the dual challenges of various uncertainties and multi-objective optimization requirements in actual operation, particularly exhibiting significant technical bottlenecks in the following aspects: First, the operation of virtual power plants relies on heterogeneous data sources such as electricity prices, carbon emission factors, meteorological conditions, and external renewable energy output. This information is highly uncertain, nonlinear, and time-series oriented, making it difficult for traditional single-prediction models to capture their joint evolution patterns. Especially under extreme scenarios, they exhibit poor robustness, leading to strong dependence on control strategies and poor generalization. Second, virtual power plants possess typical "multi-device, multi-timescale" coupling characteristics. Adjustability depends not only on the performance of individual devices but also on multiple influences from inter-device coordination, network constraints, and scheduling mechanisms. Current mainstream methods struggle to achieve unified assessment of control capabilities across the day-ahead, intraday, and online timescales, especially lacking systematic modeling in areas such as multi-timescale capability continuity, response timeliness, and implementation. Furthermore, with the advancement of capacity markets and carbon trading mechanisms, the operational objectives of virtual power plants are gradually shifting from a single focus on economic optimization to a multi-dimensional coordination of objectives including capacity commitments, power generation plans, and carbon emission budgets. However, current regulatory mechanisms often suffer from a mismatch between capacity incentives and implementation effectiveness, lacking targeted capacity compensation mechanisms and failing to unleash the potential of capacity as a resource for system flexibility.
[0004] In summary, there is an urgent need for a method that can achieve full-process optimization control of virtual power plants under uncertain environments. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention proposes a multi-objective robust optimization AI control method, system, and equipment for virtual power plants, which can significantly improve the operational efficiency and market responsiveness of virtual power plants under multi-objective and multi-disturbance scenarios.

For a set of scenarios, , It is a unified data package that includes point prediction, scenario set, robust set, and conditional value of risk operator.
[0018] A further improvement of this invention lies in: AI-based assessment of the multi-timescale adjustable capability of a virtual power plant, based on multivariate uncertain information. Specifically, this includes: constructing an adjustable capability assessment model for three timescales—day-ahead, intraday, and online—based on predicted multivariate uncertain information; evaluating the boundaries of the adjustable capability at each timescale; and obtaining the executable capability envelope, expressed as:

Attached Figure Description
[0039] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of the method in an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0040] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of this invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the virtual power plant multi-objective robust optimization AI control method of this embodiment includes:
[0042] Step 1: Predict diverse and uncertain information about virtual power plants, including electricity prices, carbon emissions per kilowatt-hour, weather, and external renewable energy sources;
[0043] Step 2: Based on diverse and uncertain information, AI assesses the multi-timescale adjustability of the virtual power plant;
[0044] Step 3: Construct a multi-dimensional coordination model of virtual power plant capacity, electricity, and carbon emissions, and coordinate the weights of capacity, electricity, and carbon emissions budgets.
[0045] Step 4: Based on the evaluation results of the virtual power plant's multi-timescale adjustable capabilities and the weights obtained through coordination, construct a learning-enhanced multi-objective robust optimization model for the virtual power plant, and use the virtual power plant multi-objective robust optimization model to optimize and regulate the virtual power plant.
[0046] In step 1, this embodiment proposes a multimodal virtual power plant uncertainty information prediction method. In the virtual power plant scenario, this embodiment simultaneously focuses on heterogeneous data including electricity price, carbon emissions per kilowatt-hour, weather, and external renewable energy sources, addressing the problems of information dispersion and lack of characterization of extreme operating conditions. The external renewable energy sources refer to the available grid-connected power of wind / solar power, i.e., available wind and solar power. The specific prediction steps are as follows:
[0047] Step 1.1: Align and clean the historical measurement data sequence and external feature sequence of the virtual power plant, and obtain point predictions of uncertain information through a multimodal time series model. In this embodiment, the historical measurement data sequence includes load, energy storage status, available wind and solar power, electricity price and carbon emission factor per kilowatt-hour, etc., and the external feature sequence includes weather, holidays, maintenance and market events, etc. The multimodal time series model is a selective state-space model (Mamba), a temporal fusion transformer (TFT), or a patch time series transformer (PatchTST).
[0048] Step 1.2: Based on the external feature sequence, use the diffusion model (DDPM) to generate a full-time-domain scenario containing extreme perturbations.
[0049] Step 1.3: Quantitative / conformal predictions produce confidence intervals. Combining the Wasserstein-DRO and CVaR methods, robust tail risk boundaries are formed, resulting in a unified data package containing point predictions, scenario sets, robust sets, and conditional value of risk operators.
[0050] The prediction of multivariate uncertain information in step 1 is shown in expressions (1) to (3). Expression (1) provides point predictions of electricity price, carbon emission factor per kilowatt-hour, available wind and solar power, load, and weather at various future times, as well as multiple full-time-domain scenarios covering normal and extreme fluctuations, for use by virtual power plant (VPP) scheduling, capacity application, and settlement. Expression (2) uses a first-order Wasserstein sphere to enclose the range that the actual distribution may deviate from and focuses on the most unfavorable tails such as wind and solar power gaps, load surges, and price anomalies. Expression (3) is a unified data package containing point predictions, scenario sets, robust sets, and conditional value at risk operators.
[0051] ;
[0052] ;
[0053] ;
[0054] In the formula, For the future Multivariate point prediction Index the current discrete time point, configure as needed, such as in 15-minute intervals. For multimodal time series models, This is a historical measurement data sequence for a virtual power plant. For external feature sequences, This is the forward sight step length, i.e., the lead time for prediction. For the first The generated full-time-domain multivariate scenario trajectory, For the number of scenarios, To generate samples according to a given generative model. For parameters diffusion model, include and , The predicted quantity is the historical measurement data sequence of the virtual power plant. For robust sets, For candidate true distributions, For the empirical distribution prediction, The first-order Wasserstein distance. The radius is the Wasserstein radius. For confidence level of The conditional value at risk operator is used to measure tail risk, where Z represents stochastic losses, including losses or deviation costs due to power outages, capacity shortages caused by load surges, etc. To calibrate the quantile threshold, To test the candidate true distribution within the robust set Take the expected value. The positive part operator is T, where T is the total number of time periods for horizon prediction. This is a full horizon point prediction sequence. For a set of scenarios, , A unified robust data package is a unified data package that includes point prediction, scenario set, robust set, and conditional value at risk operator (risk operator).
[0055] In step 2, this embodiment proposes an AI evaluation method for the multi-timescale adjustable capabilities of virtual power plants that considers multiple uncertain information. Based on the predicted multiple uncertain information, an adjustable capability evaluation model is constructed for the three timescales of day-ahead, day-intraday, and online. The model is based on a Physical Information Long Short-Term Memory (PSM) network and a Graph Attention (GAT) network. The adjustable capacity assessment model is based on physical information LSTM fusion of device and network constraints. The network constraints include power limits, SOC upper and lower limits, ramping, and response delay. A graph attention network (GAT) is used to aggregate the coupling potential of distributed power sources, energy storage, and adjustable loads to assess adjustable capacity indicators, namely, the up-up capacity, down-down capacity, sustainability, total available power, and maximum ramping rate at each time scale. The resulting executable capacity envelope is shown in expressions (4) to (6). Expression (4) indicates that the capacity evaluator transforms the prediction and scenario in step 1 into a three-scale capacity set. Each set contains the maximum up-up power and down-down power, sustainability, available power, ramping rate, and other boundaries, while taking confidence quantiles. Gain the ability to safeguard, ensuring that promises can be kept;
[0056] Expression (5) is defined with probabilistic constraints: in At least with confidence level The executable tuple represents the capacity increase, capacity decrease, maximum continuously adjustable duration, and maximum available total power.
[0057] Expression (6) is the output obtained, namely the capability envelope.
[0058] ;
[0059] ;
[0060] ;
[0061] In the formula, For parameters Adjustable capability evaluator for Three items, , , These are respectively: today, today, and online. These represent capabilities for the day before, intraday, and online. For scale The lower bound of the confidence level of the capability. For scale The confidence level of the capability For quantile operations, To assess capabilities based on scenario sets and robustness sets, It provides indexes for three time scales: day-to-day, intraday, and online. To adjust the capacity upwards or downwards, The longest continuously adjustable duration. This represents the maximum available total battery capacity. For the maximum climbing speed, Let be the probability of the candidate true distribution within the robust set. As a condition, The confidence threshold. These represent the minimum capabilities for the day before, intraday, and online, respectively. This is the set of lower limits for capabilities within the current day, intraday, and online. For robust sets, For candidate true distributions, For a set of scenarios, This is a predicted sequence of points across the entire horizon.
[0062] In step 3, this embodiment proposes a multi-dimensional coordination model for virtual power plant capacity, electricity, and carbon emissions. This model comprises an upper layer and a lower layer. The upper layer, i.e., the trading or operating coordinator, learns capacity, electricity, and carbon emission price signals. The lower layer, i.e., the virtual power plant, solves for the optimal response based on a given price, jointly determining capacity commitments, electricity plans, and carbon emission budgets. Through KKT conditions and implicit differentiation (OptNet / JAXopt), the lower-layer optimization is sub-embedded into the upper layer, forming an end-to-end price-supply sensitive mapping. The KKT conditions for the lower layer are:
[0063] ;
[0064] Lower-level optimal solution With the upper level , and Correlated, the Jacobian matrix is obtained by taking the differential:
[0065] ;
[0066] Then, the gradient of the upper-level target W is calculated: .
[0067] By combining inverse reinforcement learning to deduce weights from historical measurement data sequences, compatible capacity, electricity, and carbon emission budget and price weights are obtained. As shown in expressions (7) and (8), expression (7) hierarchically coordinates the virtual power plant capacity-electricity-carbon emission multidimensional model. The upper layer selects the internal shadow prices of capacity price, electricity, and carbon emission to maximize operating welfare, while the lower layer selects the internal shadow prices of capacity price, electricity, and carbon emission within the feasible region. Within this framework, the committable capacity, electricity consumption plan, and carbon emission budget are jointly determined to achieve consistent calibration of capacity, electricity consumption, and carbon emissions. Expression (8) is the result obtained and is used as input for step 4.
[0068] ;
[0069] ;
[0070] In the formula, Price based on capacity, The internal shadow price of electricity and carbon emissions. For the operation of welfare functions, For external capacity requirements, An externally provided carbon emissions budget cap. For electricity quota planning, For carbon emissions budget, of which Returning from the lower level to the upper level, These are the committed capacity, electricity consumption, and carbon emissions, forming the lower-level decision-making tripartite. The feasible region is defined by the prior day, intraday, and online capability lower limits obtained in step 2, i.e., the constraint set synthesized from the three scales. This represents the maximum available total battery capacity. To increase the maximum capacity, The optimal solution set that maximizes the objective.
[0071] In step 4, this embodiment proposes a multi-objective AI robust optimization and control method for virtual power plants that considers capacity compensation. Using the capacity envelope obtained in step 2 and the coordination results obtained in step 3 as inputs, a learning-reinforced multi-objective robust optimization model for virtual power plants is constructed. Under power balance, energy storage status, equipment and network constraints, and capacity contracts, considering capacity compensation and short-supply penalties, an adaptive Tchebycheff unified economic dispatch (minimum overall cost), green dispatch (maximum renewable energy consumption / minimum wind and solar curtailment), and low-carbon dispatch (minimum emissions) are used. The MILP / MISOCP algorithm is employed to solve the multi-objective robust optimization model for virtual power plants. A neural hot-start algorithm is used to accelerate the convergence speed of the MILP / MISOCP algorithm, obtaining intraday and online rolling plans and time-of-use capacity results. Using safety reinforcement learning and behavior cloning, the plan is transformed into fine-grained control commands, maintaining the energy storage status (SOC), ramp-up, and over-limit safety during disturbances, and delivering capacity on time and in the required quantity. This solves the problems of disconnect between planning and execution, difficulty in fulfilling targets in extreme scenarios, and difficulty in balancing multiple objectives. As shown in expressions (9) to (12), the first two lines of expression (9) ensure that power balance and energy storage state changes are robust to the set. The third line is robust and feasible, ensuring that the scheduling aligns with the capacity-energy-carbon emission targets of step 3 and is constrained by the lower limit of the capabilities of step 2, thus preventing "over-commitment".
[0072] Expression (10) promises that increased capacity will be compensated for the shortfall. In extreme scenarios, insufficient delivery will be compensated for the tail supply based on CVaR and penalized accordingly. Expression (11) scalarizes the three objectives (green, economic, and low-carbon). The three objectives are combined into a solvable objective through adaptive Tchebycheff, with the weights induced by the shadow price in step 3. Or, given the operational preferences, the optimal joint scheduling is obtained. Expression (12) indicates that the output feedback of step 4 forms a closed loop with step 1. Through optimal scheduling, actual commitment and fulfillment data, it is used to update the data packet of step 1 and the capacity envelope of step 2, realizing the closed-loop self-learning of "prediction → capacity assessment → three-layer coordination of capacity, power and carbon emissions → robust optimization".
