Virtual power plant cloud-management-edge fusion architecture for large-scale application of various types of flexible resources in urban power grids

In order to solve the virtual power plant management problem under the optimized layout of various types of flexible resources in urban power grids, a corresponding virtual power plant cloud-management-edge fusion architecture is proposed. The operating characteristics of urban power grids are analyzed, and the main flexibility resource models of urban power grids are established, including photovoltaic power generation, wind turbine output, energy storage, and trigeneration models. The large-scale application of various flexible resources is analyzed. A virtual power plant cloud-management-edge fusion architecture is proposed, the system architecture is designed, the fusion function and network structure are proposed, and the response mechanism is analyzed. Finally, an example analysis is conducted on the urban power grid in a certain region to demonstrate the advantages of the architecture proposed in this paper in terms of resource utilization efficiency and system response speed.
