Abstract

With the rapid development of global renewable energy, the virtual power plant (VPP), as an emerging power management model, has attracted increasing attention. Traditional manual management is difficult to effectively deal with because of the complexity and uncertainty of the VPP. The application of artificial intelligence (AI) technology provides new solutions for the VPP to cope with these problems. This review presents the research of AI technology in the VPP. Firstly, the basic concepts and theoretical framework of the VPP are presented. Then, the application of AI technology in VPP functional modules is discussed. Finally, the challenges of the VPP in coping with uncertainty, improving algorithmic interpretability and ensuring data security are pointed out, which provides theoretical support for subsequent research in the field of VPPs.
