The State Grid Shanghai Energy Internet Research Institute has applied for a patent for an optimized dispatching method for energy storage-based virtual power plants, which aims to enhance the peak-shaving capacity and flexibility of the power grid. The application was filed with the National Intellectual Property Administration and is titled “A Method, Device, Equipment, and Medium for Optimized Dispatching of Energy Storage-Based Virtual Power Plants” (Publication No. CN 119624027 A), with a filing date of December 2024.
The abstract of the patent reveals that the invention pertains to a method for optimizing the dispatching of energy storage-based virtual power plants. This method involves establishing a dynamic time-of-use pricing model based on a fuzzy membership function. It then constructs an optimization model for energy storage-based virtual power plants, aimed at maximizing the operational revenue of storage devices. The optimization model is called into action through a rolling optimization scheduling method for decision-making. This innovation is expected to significantly improve the power grid’s peak-shaving capability and flexibility, ensuring adequate power supply to meet demand.
