[0002] The global energy transition is driving the widespread integration of renewable energy into the power grid, fundamentally reshaping the global power system. As of 2023, renewable energy accounted for more than 30% of global electricity generation, and this proportion is projected to exceed 50% by 2030. However, the inherent volatility of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power poses significant challenges to grid stability and reliability. Traditional power systems, designed around centralized generation units, struggle to provide the flexibility required for high renewable energy penetration, resulting in curtailment rates as high as 20% in some regions.

[0003] Distributed energy resources offer a viable solution to this flexibility challenge. These user-side resources include distributed generation equipment, energy storage systems, electric vehicles (EVs), and controllable loads, potentially providing hundreds of gigawatts of flexibility capacity globally. Virtual power plants aggregate these diverse distributed energy resources into a coordinated whole, providing key grid flexibility services such as peak shaving and frequency regulation. However, existing virtual power plant technologies still face many challenges in efficiently managing large-scale, geographically dispersed, diverse, and complex distributed energy resources operating under complex conditions. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented using the following technical solution: In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for large-scale distributed photovoltaic integration and coordination, comprising: Operational data from multiple distributed energy resources are collected at the terminal device layer; Operational data is transmitted to the data domain via the edge layer, where information sharing is achieved based on a publish-subscribe model. In the data domain, based on the operational data, an event-driven control framework is used to detect whether the system state deviates from the optimal domain of multiple indicators, and an event signal is generated when a deviation occurs.

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] Example 1: This example introduces a method for large-scale distributed photovoltaic integration and coordination, including: Operational data from multiple distributed energy resources are collected at the terminal device layer; Operational data is transmitted to the data domain via the edge layer, where information sharing is achieved based on a publish-subscribe model. In the data domain, based on the operational data, an event-driven control framework is used to detect whether the system state deviates from the optimal domain of multiple indicators, and an event signal is generated when a deviation occurs. In response to the event signal, an operation strategy for distributed energy resources is generated in the cloud using a self-optimization method, wherein the self-optimization method employs an online primal-dual algorithm. The operation strategy is distributed to the terminal device layer through the data domain and edge layer to control the operation of distributed energy resources.

[0020] The large-scale distributed photovoltaic integration and coordination method provided in this embodiment involves the following steps in its application process: S1. Establish a conceptual framework for a self-optimizing virtual power plant (SVPP), such as... Figure 1 As shown, the framework includes three core levels: "optimization", "striving for optimization", and "self". S2. Construct an SVPP system architecture based on Autonomous Distributed Systems (ADS) to achieve efficient integration and dynamic aggregation of distributed energy resources. Figure 2 and Figure 3 These are the system architecture and system architecture construction diagram for SVPP; S3. A self-optimizing method is adopted, and the operation of distributed energy resources is coordinated through event-driven control and online primal dual algorithm; S4. Based on the system architecture and operation method described above, deploy SVPP in practical application scenarios to solve the problems of renewable energy consumption, reliable off-grid operation, and grid interaction capability.

[0021] Specifically: S11. The "optimal" level uses multi-level indicators to define the ideal operating range, including virtual power plant system-level indicators and distributed energy resource-level indicators. Virtual power plant system-level indicators are determined by the overall operational needs of the virtual power plant, including overall economic benefits, aggregated renewable energy consumption, operational reliability, and the service capabilities provided by the virtual power plant to the power system. Distributed energy resource-level indicators are determined by the operational needs and characteristics of individual distributed energy resources, ensuring that distributed energy resources operate within feasible power ranges, meet user electricity demands, and consider user-side power losses.

[0022] S12. The "optimization" layer uses an event-driven control framework. When the system state deviates from the optimization domain, it is defined as an event. Based on real-time data, strategies are quickly generated to bring the system closer to the ideal operating state. The system measures the "gap" between the current state and the optimization domain. As long as the gap is within a set range, the operation is considered effective. As the operation progresses, SVPP continuously optimizes the strategy, systematically eliminating events and gradually evolving towards the ideal operating state.

[0023] S13. At the "self" level, a collaborative mechanism is built to support the autonomous operation of different distributed energy resources, enabling each unit to respond to system-level demands based on its own capabilities. The core of this feature lies in the innovative system architecture of SVPP, which, through the construction of a collaborative mechanism, transmits system-level demands to individual distributed energy resources, allowing each unit to respond according to its own capabilities.

[0024] S21. The SVPP system architecture based on Autonomous Distributed Systems (ADS) comprises two core components: atomic nodes and a data domain. The atomic nodes are the basic units of the system; each distributed energy resource subsystem and functional module is designed as an independent atomic node with equivalent capabilities, including an Autonomous Control Processor (ACP) and application software (APL). The data domain is the information interaction space, where content encoding is used to determine data relevance, enabling efficient and real-time information sharing between nodes.

[0025] S22. Each distributed energy resource subsystem and functional module is transformed into an independent atomic node, equipped with autonomous management functions, an autonomous control processor (ACP) with self-management and decision-making capabilities, and application software (APL) that performs specific tasks related to the atomic node's function in SVPP.

[0026] Atomic nodes employ a standardized four-layer data element interface structure based on Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) / Sensor Network Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT-SN) topics for accessing the data domain. This structure includes an application layer, a behavior abstraction layer, a receiving layer, and a classification layer. Atomic node behaviors are categorized into three types: "Measurement," "Control," and "Escalation," each containing corresponding request and response components. This design ensures the scalability and efficiency of the entire system interface, supporting seamless integration of different nodes.

[0027] S23. The data domain is built using the MQTT / MQTT-SN protocol and employs a publish-subscribe broadcast mechanism for data distribution. The data domain incorporates online expansion, online fault tolerance, and online maintenance mechanisms, supporting the integration of new modules or subsystems by configuring data field interfaces and setting content encodings, achieving plug-and-play functionality. Online expansion is achieved through a decoupled communication mechanism, allowing new modules or subsystems to integrate by configuring data field interfaces and setting appropriate content encodings; online fault tolerance is achieved through redundancy and integration logic, maintaining system integrity by filtering data; online maintenance supports concurrent maintenance and testing without interrupting normal operation.

[0028] S24. SVPP constructs a "cloud-edge-device" collaborative platform, comprising a cloud layer, an edge layer, and a terminal device layer. The cloud layer employs advanced analytics and self-optimizing methods, responsible for data processing, storage, and distributed energy resource operation strategy formulation. The edge layer, implemented through a smart energy gateway, acts as an edge device based on the MQTT protocol, responsible for local data aggregation and protocol conversion. The terminal device layer covers all distributed energy resources connected to SVPP, supporting sub-second data acquisition and feedback. To achieve interconnection between layers, SVPP constructs a robust communication network: the terminal device layer and the edge layer are connected via a Wi-Fi mesh network with a maximum bandwidth of 150 Mbps. This network possesses self-organizing, self-healing characteristics and mobile broadband capabilities, effectively addressing interference and wiring limitations in complex power distribution network environments, ensuring high stability, high transmission rates, and high anti-interference capabilities. The edge layer and the cloud layer are connected via Ethernet with a maximum bandwidth of 100 Mbps, ensuring reliable and high-speed communication between distributed edge devices and cloud infrastructure.

[0029] In terms of data processing, the sampling rate of terminal devices at the terminal device layer is typically 400 milliseconds, supporting near real-time monitoring and control. Each smart energy gateway at the edge layer has a storage capacity of 8GB, with local data caching and processing capabilities. The cloud layer server has a storage capacity of 8 TB, supporting comprehensive data analysis and long-term storage of system information.

[0030] To verify the effectiveness of the invention, a demonstration project was deployed in a business park. Figure 4 The aerial view of the demonstration park, which includes six buildings, was shown. Figure 5 The demonstration park showcases its power distribution network structure, which is supplied by the upper-level power grid through 10 kV distribution lines. After being stepped down by transformers, the power is distributed to the lines within the park. The low-voltage distribution network is divided into 0.4 kV sections I, II, and III busbars, supporting flexible operation modes such as grid connection and off-grid operation.

[0031] Figure 6 The bar chart shows the average daily photovoltaic power generation and electricity consumption in the park from February to April 2024.

[0032] S31. The self-optimizing operation method adopts an event-driven paradigm and an online primal-dual algorithm based on a virtual queue to achieve "time decoupling" and "space decoupling". Through a virtual queue and Lyapunov optimization techniques, it handles the time-dependent constraints of distributed energy resources with time-varying dependencies; through the primal-dual algorithm, the optimization problem is decomposed into independent sub-problems for each distributed energy resource; online optimization is achieved through alternating iterations of primal and dual variables.

[0033] S32. SVPP addresses practical challenges through three operating modes: renewable energy integration mode, off-grid islanding mode, and grid interaction mode.

[0034] Renewable energy consumption models improve the renewable energy consumption rate by coordinating energy storage systems with flexible loads to absorb excess electricity during peak renewable energy output periods. SVPP adjusts the operating status of distributed energy resources based on real-time fluctuations, increasing the local consumption of renewable energy and reducing curtailment rates. Figure 7 The self-optimization process of SVPP is demonstrated.

[0035] Taking February 16, 2024 as an example: When the photovoltaic power generation exceeds the load demand at noon, SVPP absorbs the excess photovoltaic output by adjusting distributed energy resources, smooths the load curve of the park, and improves the renewable energy absorption rate. The specific effect is shown in Figure 8.

[0036] The off-grid islanding operation mode ensures that the SVPP can switch to off-grid operation during grid outages, prioritizing power supply to critical loads and managing energy storage resources. The grid interaction mode provides flexible services based on grid demand, such as peak-shaving support. This mode ensures that the SVPP can switch to off-grid operation during grid outages. The SVPP prioritizes power supply to critical loads, manages energy storage resources, and maintains power supply for critical services by adjusting the operation of distributed energy resources. After grid restoration, the SVPP coordinates a smooth transition to normal operation.

[0037] Taking April 10, 2024 as an example: When the power grid is interrupted, the SVPP switches to off-grid mode and starts the preset strategy; when the energy storage capacity is close to the preset threshold, the SVPP implements power rationing for low-priority loads to ensure power supply for important loads; when the power grid is restored, the SVPP gradually restores the power supply to the loads and charges the energy storage system, realizing an efficient transition of the park to normal grid-connected operation. The specific effect is shown in Figure 9.

[0038] In the grid interaction mode, the SVPP provides flexibility services (such as peak shaving) based on grid demand. When the grid issues a support request, the SVPP meets the grid demand by coordinating distributed energy resources.

[0039] Taking April 15, 2024 as an example: When responding to the grid peak shaving request, SVPP adjusts distributed energy resources to reduce the load during the specified peak period, as shown in Figure 10.

[0040] S41. To verify the effectiveness of the self-optimization concept and evaluate the feasibility of SVPP in real-world scenarios, this invention designs a demonstration project. The demonstration project is located in a commercial park in southern China, which integrates various distributed energy resources, including rooftop photovoltaic systems, electric vehicle charging stations, energy storage systems, and controllable loads such as variable frequency air conditioning and lighting systems. Figure 11 The on-site deployment of distributed resource terminals within the demonstration park was showcased.

[0041] S42. The system integrates a total of 4,542 distributed energy resource terminals, covering various types of devices. To achieve self-organizing aggregation of these distributed energy resource terminals, the project deployed 165 edge computing smart energy gateways, interconnected via a Wi-Fi mesh network, serving as the communication and control hub for distributed energy resources. Table 1 lists the types and quantities of distributed energy resource terminals connected to SVPP.

Based on the established SVPP architecture and operating model, the self-optimization method was applied to address key challenges in the park's energy system. Through renewable energy consumption mode, off-grid islanding operation mode, and grid interaction mode, SVPP achieved photovoltaic power consumption of 28,427.7 kWh, reduced carbon dioxide emissions by 23,651.8 kg, and generated economic benefits of 18,739.5 yuan for the park. Table 2 summarizes the operating performance indicators from February to April 2024.

In a practical SVPP project in a commercial park in southern China, the feasibility of addressing issues related to renewable energy consumption, power supply reliability, and grid flexibility was verified by coordinating the distributed energy resources of six buildings and the park's energy storage system. Future research will further refine the simulation platform, test SVPP strategies in multi-park collaborative scenarios, and integrate more grid service functions to further verify its scalability and adaptability in complex grid environments.
