An Edge Computing Architecture and Application Oriented to Distributed Microgrid

With the rapid development of edge computing technology, the application of edge computing in smart grids has become more and more extensive. But edge computing has not yet been applied to the operation control of distributed power generation microgrid systems. This article proposes a microgrid-oriented edge computing architecture. First, we introduce the main functions of edge-cloud collaboration. Then we explain the construction plan of the architecture, including the realization of data processing, network communication and security mechanisms. Finally, we introduce the architecture application practice in a rural community in Central China.
