Abstract

[Objective] Due to the 14th Five-Year Plan and the “30·60” double carbon targets advocates energy reform, the number of articles on virtual power plant (Abbreviation is VPP) has surged, the annual number of articles published has maintained a positive growth trend. In the context of big data, the research track of VPP is sorted out by literature measurement method and visual knowledge graph. It will provide a reference direction for the following scholars’ research and accelerate the combination of emerging technologies and VPP. [Methods] Through the data collection of CNKI related literature on VPP in China in the past 20 years, Using CiteSpace to process and analyze big data, rapidly form a visual map to reveal the development and evolution trajectory of VPPs, and make it easier to track research hotspots and core frontier technologies. [Result/Conclusion] The knowledge map generated by big data reveals the research hotspots of VPP and the evolution trajectory of research hotspots, and the conclusion obtained is more reasonable and realistic significance. Through the map, the main technological research directions of VPP were controllable load, distributed energy resource, communication and energy storage. It aims to achieve the stability of massive distributed energy resource grid-connection, fast and safe communication, expansion of energy storage capacity and overall economic benefits, etc. Combined with the current research on VPP in China, the research on VPP in the future will closely follow the trend of national policies, and the emergence of new energy will gradually disperse and diversify the research on VPP.
