虚拟电厂在上海的实践探索与前景分析

受源侧与荷侧特性的限制，上海电网面临着新能源消纳压力大、灵活调节手段缺乏等问题。为此，上海市电力公司开展了虚拟电厂示范项目，探索虚拟电厂领域的创新应用，加快实现新型电力系统建设。首先从社会发展与新型电力系统建设2方面出发，分析了虚拟电厂发展的必要性。然后按照“资源发掘-市场交易-运营调度-信息通信”的技术路线，介绍了上海市虚拟电厂前期探索工作以及创新应用。随后，从分布式资源扩围、多样化市场交易、云边协同控制3方面对上海市虚拟电厂的发展前景进行展望。最后梳理了上海市虚拟电厂的交易情况，并总结其在运营流程与机制设计方面的经验，为其他省市虚拟电厂项目开展提供参考。

Practice Exploration and Prospect Analysis of Virtual Power Plant in Shanghai

Due to the restrictions of the source-side and load-side characteristics, Shanghai Power Grid faces such problems as high pressure for renewable energy accommodation and lack of flexible regulation tools. To this end, Shanghai Electric Power Company carried out demonstration projects for virtual power plants to explore the innovative applications of virtual power plants and accelerate the construction of new power systems. First of all, the necessity for development of virtual power plants was analyzed from two aspects of social development and new power system construction. And then, the preliminary exploration work and innovative applications of Shanghai virtual power plants were introduced according to the technical route of “resource exploitation-market transaction-operation scheduling-information communication”. Subsequently, the development prospects of Shanghai virtual power plants were explored from the expansion of distributed resources, diversified market transactions and cloud-edge collaborative control. Finally, the transaction situation of Shanghai virtual power plants was investigated, and relevant experience in operating processes and mechanism design was summarized, which can provided a reference for development of virtual power plant projects in other provinces and cities.
