Clustering Method for Low Voltage Substation-Area Users Based on Edge Computing Architecture

Measurement and monitoring of data in power networks are of great value. A hierarchical clustering analysis method based on edge computing architecture for low-voltage power consumption data is proposed. Based on edge computing architecture, edge nodes are used to collect data and cluster locally, a cloud computing platform is used to aggregate and optimize clustering results. The algorithm flow and optimization strategy are described. The simulation results show that the method has certain advantages in improving computational efficiency and reducing time delay.
