Virtual Power Plant Platform for Demand Response Based on Microservice Architecture

It is a trend to use virtual power plant technology to realize demand response and participate in electricity trading. We design and implement the software control platform of virtual power plant for demand response. For this software platform, we analysed the requirements and got the overall architecture of the platform. On this basis, we design and implement the microservice architecture, interface design, basic application function design, advanced application function design, hardware architecture, communication architecture and security encryption of the platform. Finally, we summarize the application of the platform, and put forward the direction of further research and development.
