Deep Learning-Based Method for Operation Dispatch Strategy Generation of Virtual Power Plants


Centralized and distributed optimization methods used by traditional virtual power plants (VPPs) in power system dispatching face issues such as high computational complexity, difficulties in privacy protection, and slow iterative convergence. There is an urgent need to propose an accurate and efficient acceleration method for generating VPP operational dispatching strategies. This paper proposes a deep learning-based acceleration method for generating VPP operational dispatching strategies.

By using the equivalent projection method to solve the operation feasible region of the VPP, the objective function and constraints of the VPP are transformed into constraints of coordination variables and submitted to the system dispatching center for optimization, thereby avoiding the slow convergence problem of iterative computation methods. The Kolmogorov–Arnold Network (KAN) is employed to predict the batch operation feasible regions of the VPP, addressing the inefficiency of individually calculating feasible regions. Tests on a 13,659-node system show that the proposed method reduces solution time by 64.40% while increasing the objective function value by only 4.74%, verifying its accuracy and speed.

This paper proposes an accelerated scheduling strategy generation method based on the operation feasible regions of VPP. The approach first employs an equivalent projection method to generate VPP’s operation feasible regions in real-time, aggregating distributed resource constraints into schedulable boundaries. Subsequently, it trains a KAN network-based feasible region predictor to batch-generate time-varying feasible regions for multiple VPPs. Compared with traditional Multilayer Perceptrons (MLPs), the KAN network achieves superior parameter efficiency and prediction accuracy through learnable activation functions. This innovation enables the dispatch center to rapidly acquire information about the entire grid’s adjustable resources.

Constructing a dynamic feasible region scheduling model for VPPs, which converts distributed optimization into centralized scheduling under feasible region constraints, eliminating iterative computations.

Developing a KAN network-based feasible region prediction framework to enable fast and accurate updates of multi-VPP feasible regions. Research Hypothesis. We hypothesize that the integration of equivalent projection and KAN-based learning can accelerate VPP operation strategy generation, significantly reducing computational burden while preserving dispatch feasibility and decision quality.

Detecting Co-Resident Attacks in 5G Clouds! Detecting co-resident attacks in 5G clouds involves identifying malicious activities where attackers share physical cloud resources with victims to steal data or disrupt services. Techniques like machine learning, behavioral analysis, and resource monitoring help detect unusual patterns, ensuring stronger security and privacy in 5G cloud environments. Detecting Co-Resident Attacks in 5G Clouds In a 5G cloud environment, many different users (including businesses and individuals) share the same physical infrastructure through virtualization technologies like Virtual Machines (VMs) and containers. Co-resident attacks occur when a malicious user manages to place their VM or container on the same physical server as a target. Once co-residency is achieved, attackers can exploit shared resources like CPU caches, memory buses, or network interfaces to gather sensitive information or launch denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. Why are Co-Resident Attack...

An introduction to satellite network architecture Satellite networking is a digital revolution that connects people from across the world instantly -- from enabling real-time communications to making the world a safer place. A satellite is an artificial object put into the Earth's orbit to gather and distribute crucial data. Since the late 1950s, satellites have only transmitted and received data, as bent pipe satellites weren't able to perform other functions. In modern times, a group of satellites in the same orbit forms a satellite network. Satellite networks process data and provide accurate visual and textual information. Unlike terrestrial network infrastructure, satellite network scalability isn't limited by geography and cost. According to a March 2025 report from Goldman Sachs, the global satellite market is expected to hit $108 billion by 2035, growing sevenfold from its current valuation. Satellite networks consist of the following: The ground equipment. The sa...
