Abstract
Integration of distributed energy resources, such as photovoltaics, has expanded rapidly within power distribution networks in recent years. Existing management architectures face great challenges in balancing data security and communication efficiency. To address this issue, the paper proposes a cloud-edge collaborative framework that caters to managing multiple distributed energy resources. Firstly, a two-stage structural design method is introduced to determine the optimal configuration of edge nodes for variable reduction. Secondly, a credit-based data interaction scheme considering inherent uncertainty of distributed energy resources is proposed to ensure trustworthy cloud-edge collaborative optimizations. The above work is expected to facilitate the in-depth application of cloud-edge collaboration in the energy scheduling field.
