Overview and prospect of information and communication technology development in virtual power plants

As a new energy-supply service solution to address massive, distributed energy access the power system, virtual plant has higher transmission reliability and real-time communication requirements. To achieve collaborative optimisation, load resources must be aggregated using information technology. This study analyses underlying technologies for interaction from perspective of standardisation, efficiency, reliability, security, summarises application blockchain, cloud-edge collaboration, machine learning, other in trading, interaction, scheduling, proposes ideas addressing shortcomings interaction. improve performance parameter mapping between business technology, multilevel technology are proposed.
