Abstract:

A commercial building virtual power plant(VPP)lying in Huangpu district,the centre of Shanghai, is a zero-emission power plant. The VPP can lower the power load of commercial buildings during peak periods through autonomous control, that is to say, it can generate power with "data" as fuels. The wide distribution of commercial buildings in central urban areas, the wide variety of electrical equipment in different buildings, and the diverse capabilities of management personnel lead to various problems to VPPs in performing demand-response tasks. Based on the raw data from 50 commercial buildings participating in demand responses via the VPP in Huangpu district, the execution capacity of the virtual generator set in the VPP is analysed by decision tree algorithm, to improve the prediction accuracy of the VPP’s power generation execution in demand responses. Through the training and verification of the algorithm, it shows that the accuracy of the algorithm reaches 72.3% under current scenarios, and it is possible to further improve the accuracy by taking random forest, Bayesian and other algorithms in optimization. Therefore, the decision tree model algorithm is considered to be of good application value in the scenario, and can be used to predict the execution capacity of VVPs.
