1、Distributed Energy Resources (DER)

DER are the core component of the virtual power plant, which includes renewable energy equipment such as PV modules and energy storage systems. These energy resources are distributed across geographic locations and organizations,connected and integrated into the virtual power plant system via the Internet.

2、Central control system

The central control system is the brain of the virtual power plant, responsible for monitoring, coordinating and managing the operation of distributed energy resources. It collects real-time data from individual energy resources and performs functions such as energy scheduling, demand response and fault detection. The central control system can be based on advanced algorithms and artificial intelligence technology to achieve optimal control of energy production and consumption.

3、IPFS Integration of networks

IPFS is a decentralized distributed file storage and sharing system. Its network is integrated for storing and sharing virtual power plant-related data and files in the virtual power plant, such as smart contracts, real-time data, and energy resource information. By integrating IPFS with the central control system and distributed energy resources of the virtual power plant, efficient data storage and cross-organizational data sharing are achieved
