An End-to-End Network Evaluation Method for Differentiated Multi-Service Bearing in VPP

Virtual power plant (VPP) plays an important role in improving the balance and regulation abilities of new power system. The safe and reliable operation is support by the VPP end-to-end communication network with differentiated multi-service bearing capability. For the requirement of unified and standard VPP end-to-end networking scheme, the VPP service communication metrics, as well as the communication network architecture of VPP aggregation and control are analyzed. Then, a multi-dimension hierarchical VPP end-to-end network evaluation index system is put forward. In addition, an end-to-end VPP network evaluation method considering differentiated time-sensitive and granular requirements of multiple services is proposed. Finally, the suitability analysis results of various end-to-end networking schemes and multiple services with differentiated time-sensitive and granular requirements are given, which plays a guiding role in establishing a unified standard VPP end-to-end networking scheme.
