Attached Figure Description
[0015] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a smart grid load control system that integrates the Internet of Things, provided as an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0016] The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0017] See Figure 1 , Figure 1This invention provides an embodiment of a smart grid load control system 100 integrated with the Internet of Things (IoT). The system 100 includes: an IoT sensing layer 101, an edge node load allocation layer 102, a load prediction layer 103, a control strategy execution layer 104, and a feedback and iterative optimization layer 105, all connected by communication. The IoT sensing layer 101 includes smart meters deployed on the user side of the smart grid, line sensors deployed on the distribution network side, and monitoring terminals deployed on the transformer side. The smart meters, line sensors, and monitoring terminals collect real-time data from each user node and aggregate this data to an IoT gateway. Real-time data transmission is achieved through a hybrid communication network. The real-time data includes node voltage, current, power, electricity consumption, equipment temperature, and user electricity consumption pattern data. The user electricity consumption pattern data includes user type identification and electricity consumption time distribution. The hybrid communication network has a transmission rate of at least 300 kbps, a communication bandwidth of at least 200 Mbps, and a real-time data acquisition period of no more than 1 second.
[0018] For example, data from all sensing nodes converges to the IoT gateway, forming a global real-time dataset at time t: in, Represents any sensing node Real-time data collected at time t This represents the total set of IoT sensing nodes. Indicates the time of data collection.
[0019] The edge node load distribution layer 102 receives the real-time data and transmits it to the edge computing nodes. It calculates the load threshold for each edge node using a balanced initialization strategy. If the load of any edge node exceeds the threshold, it adjusts the resource allocation ratio of virtual machines within the current edge node using a particle swarm optimization algorithm improved with a pheromone strategy. Then, it uses a semi-definite relaxation algorithm to distribute terminal tasks to load-balanced edge nodes and completes the preprocessing of the terminal task data. Specifically, the pheromone evaporation factor in the improved particle swarm optimization algorithm ranges from 0.05 to 0.45, the pheromone intensity ranges from 0.4 to 1.4, the learning factor ranges from 1.4 to 2.0, and the inertia weight decreases linearly from 0.5 to 0.2 with each iteration. The preprocessing of the terminal task data uses a sequence probability proportionality test theory to calculate the probability that the terminal task data is accurately learned, establishing a mapping relationship between the data sample size and the privacy leakage risk. When the privacy leakage risk exceeds a preset threshold, the terminal task data is diverted to encrypted edge nodes, and homomorphic encryption technology is used to protect privacy during the terminal task data processing.
[0020] For example, real-time load computing on edge nodes is performed via edge nodes. The load at time t can be defined as the weighted sum of task volume and resource utilization: in, This represents the load weighting coefficient. Represents a node The number of tasks to be processed at time t. Represents a node Resource utilization rate at time t.
[0021] It should be noted that the semidefinite relaxation algorithm distributes terminal tasks to load-balanced edge nodes, which can be achieved by defining a task allocation matrix. ,in, Indicates task Assigned to nodes The constraints and objectives are as follows: Constraints: Single task, single node: Node resource limit: ,in, Indicates task Resource requirements; the optimization objective is expressed as: in, Indicates task At the node Delay handling.
[0022] The load prediction layer 103 is used to construct an LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) network load prediction model that integrates real-time edge data. Using preset time-based load data as output, the model is trained by dynamically adjusting the number of network layers, neurons, and learning rate through a steepest descent algorithm to generate load prediction results. The input features of the load prediction model include historical load data, average daily temperature, percentage of residential users, and weekday identifiers. The training process of the load prediction model employs an adaptive learning rate, initially set to 0.001. When the validation set loss does not decrease for six consecutive rounds, the learning rate decays to 0.5 times its original value. The training batch size is set to 64, and the number of iterations is no less than 200 rounds. A Dropout layer is used during the training process to suppress overfitting, with a Dropout probability of 0.2.
[0023] For example, the load forecasting model aims to minimize the forecasting error by adjusting the model parameters using the steepest descent method. ,in Including parameters such as weights, biases, number of network layers, and learning rate, the loss function of this model is expressed as: in, Indicates the number of training samples. Indicates the actual load. Indicates preset time The load forecast results.
[0024] The control strategy execution layer 104 is used to initiate corresponding control strategies based on the load forecast results, in response to any region's load exceeding the line carrying capacity threshold. The feedback and iterative optimization layer 105 is used to feed back the control execution results to edge nodes and the cloud in real time, update the load database through the cloud, and the edge nodes correct the workload allocation strategy based on the feedback data, iteratively optimizing the load forecast model parameters to achieve a closed-loop connection across the entire link. The load forecast results also include mapping the topology and load distribution of the physical power grid to a digital twin of the power grid, inputting the characteristic parameters uploaded from the edge side, historical load data, and simulated operating condition data output by the digital twin into the load forecast model, and dynamically adjusting the attention mechanism and hidden layer dimension of the load forecast model using a Bayesian optimization algorithm to achieve load forecasting for a preset time period. The power grid digital twin is constructed using a hybrid modeling method, wherein the physical layer of the power grid digital twin uses Kirchhoff's laws to construct the power grid topology model, and the behavioral layer of the power grid digital twin uses a long short-term memory network to simulate the dynamic characteristics of the load. The regulation strategy is generated using a multi-objective optimization algorithm, with the dual objectives of minimizing regulation delay and minimizing grid energy consumption, and the resource allocation ratio is optimized through the steepest descent algorithm.
[0025] For example, using the minimization of control delay and the minimization of grid energy consumption as dual objectives can be used to verify whether the control delay and energy consumption have achieved the optimization goals: in, Indicates the region Maximum allowable control delay For the region Maximum permissible grid energy consumption Indicates an indicator function.
[0026] The control strategies include: Level 1 control pushes real-time electricity price signals to industrial user terminals through edge nodes to guide production during off-peak hours; Level 2 control remotely controls edge nodes of commercial buildings through the cloud to limit the short-term power of non-core loads such as air conditioning and lighting; Level 3 control uses smart switches to adopt graph game-related equilibrium strategies for interruptible residential loads to plan charging periods and power, and balance the load of charging stations.
[0027] The graph game-related equilibrium strategy constructs an undirected graph game model with the goal of minimizing charging delay, and solves the joint probability distribution through linear programming to achieve load balancing.
[0028] The smart grid load control system, integrated with the Internet of Things (IoT), adopts a five-layer architecture. It utilizes IoT technology to achieve real-time sensing, prediction, control, and optimization of the smart grid load in a closed loop. The IoT sensing layer 101 is used for data acquisition and transmission. On the user side, it includes smart meters for collecting data such as electricity consumption, voltage, and current. On the distribution network side, it includes line sensors for monitoring line power and temperature. On the transformer side, it includes monitoring terminals for collecting transformer operating status data. Data is aggregated to the IoT gateway and transmitted to edge nodes via hybrid communication networks such as 5G, LoRa, and fiber optics. The edge node load allocation layer 102 is used for dynamic resource allocation and task preprocessing, then calculates the load threshold for each edge node. This load threshold can be determined based on historical data and real-time traffic. If the load of a node exceeds the threshold, a pheromone update mechanism using a particle swarm optimization algorithm improved with a pheromone strategy or a fusion of ant colony algorithms is employed to optimize the virtual machine resource allocation ratio. A semidefinite relaxation algorithm is used to distribute terminal tasks to load-balanced edge nodes, avoiding single-point overload. The load forecasting layer 103 is used to build a dynamic load forecasting model based on LSTM. The input features of this model include historical load data, average daily temperature, the proportion of residential users, and weekday identifiers. The number of network layers, neurons, and learning rate are optimized in real time using the steepest descent algorithm or gradient descent method, and the output is the load forecast result after a preset time, such as 15 minutes. The regulation strategy execution layer 104 is used for real-time load regulation. When the load in any area exceeds the line's carrying capacity threshold, price signals can be used to guide users to adjust their electricity consumption behavior, or energy storage systems or renewable energy sources can be activated to supplement power supply. Alternatively, power rationing or rotational shutdowns can be implemented for non-critical loads (such as air conditioners and charging piles). The feedback and iterative optimization layer 105 is used for end-to-end closed-loop optimization. It can feed back the regulation execution results to edge nodes and the cloud in real time. The cloud updates the load database to provide new data for model training, and edge nodes optimize the load forecasting model parameters by correcting workload allocation strategies.
[0029] For example, the IoT sensing layer includes devices such as smart meters deployed on the user side, line sensors on the distribution network side, and transformer monitoring terminals, which collect load data and operating status information such as voltage, current, power, electricity consumption, and equipment temperature of each node in real time, and aggregate the data to the IoT gateway through wireless communication technology.
[0030] The edge node load distribution layer can also convert the massive amounts of data from the IoT sensing layer through an IoT gateway and then upload them to the cloud data center via communication networks such as 5G / fiber optics. The cloud data center cleans, verifies, and standardizes the data, removes outliers, and fills in missing data to form a structured load database, providing high-quality data support for subsequent analysis.
[0031] The load forecasting layer and control strategy execution layer construct a load forecasting and control model based on historical and real-time load data in a cloud database. The model's operation process is as follows: First, load impact factor data samples are collected. Through the IoT sensing layer, various factors affecting power grid load are continuously collected, including historical load data, user type, meteorological data (temperature, humidity, season), and date type (weekday, holiday), and stored in a historical database. Some key parameters are shown in Table 1 below: Table 1: Data on various factors affecting power grid load Then, a load forecasting model was constructed using the LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) algorithm. Historical load data and influencing factors were used as inputs, with load data for the next 24 hours as the output, to train the model. During training, model performance was optimized by adjusting parameters such as the number of network layers, neurons, and learning rate, keeping the prediction error below 5%.
[0032] Based on load forecasting results and the real-time operating status of the power grid, the system automatically generates multi-level control strategies. For example, when it is predicted that the load in a certain area will exceed the line carrying capacity threshold, the corresponding control strategy is activated.
[0033] The control strategy execution layer can also have real-time monitoring and anomaly detection functions. By comparing the deviation between real-time load data and predicted data, when the deviation exceeds a set threshold, it is determined to be a potential anomaly, immediately triggering an alarm and locating the abnormal node, and combining historical fault data to assist in judging the fault type.
[0034] The feedback and iterative optimization layer is installed in intelligent control devices at each power consumption node, including smart circuit breakers, controllable load switches, and smart sockets. When the control strategy execution layer issues a control command, the feedback and iterative optimization layer receives the command via the Internet of Things (IoT) and automatically executes load adjustment operations, such as disconnecting unnecessary circuits and adjusting equipment operating power. Simultaneously, the execution results are fed back to the cloud, forming a closed-loop control process of "sensing-analysis-decision-execution-feedback," achieving dynamic balance and efficient utilization of the power grid load.
[0035] By collecting and intelligently analyzing grid load data in real time through IoT sensing modules, load fluctuations can be accurately predicted and power supply strategies dynamically adjusted, reducing equipment damage and maintenance costs caused by overload. Simultaneously, multi-level control strategies enable rational load allocation, improving energy efficiency, reducing unit energy consumption in grid operation, and saving operating costs for power companies. Furthermore, the integration of IoT technology with smart grids will drive the industrialization of related sensing devices, communication modules, and control systems, promoting technological maturity and reducing product costs, resulting in significant economic benefits for large-scale deployment.
[0036] This system significantly improves the stability and reliability of the power grid by constructing a closed-loop system of "sensing-transmission-analysis-control," reducing power outages caused by uneven load distribution and ensuring normal power supply for industrial production, commercial operations, and residential life. In response to extreme weather or peak electricity demand, the system can quickly respond and implement orderly control measures, avoiding the social impact of large-scale power outages. Simultaneously, by guiding users to use electricity rationally, it helps cultivate energy-saving awareness, promotes the optimization of the social energy structure and sustainable development, and is of great significance for building a safe, efficient, and green smart grid system.
