Bi-Objective Dispatch of Multi-Energy Virtual Power Plant: Deep-Learning-Based Prediction and Particle Swarm Optimization

This paper addresses the coordinative operation problem of multi-energy virtual power plant (ME-VPP) in the context of energy internet. A bi-objective dispatch model is established to optimize the performance of ME-VPP in terms of economic cost (EC) and power quality (PQ). Various realistic factors...
