摘要

With the development of the Internet of Things technology in the smart grids, terminal devices such as advanced sensors and smart meters present a trend of massive access in distribution network, which poses great challenges to the information perception, analysis and processing ability of distribution automation system. The microservice-based edge computing apparatus is a novel technology in the smart distribution transformer area to improve the adaptability of the distribution automation system. Research on modeling methods and computing resource capacity planning methods for the microservice-based edge computing apparatus has become an urgent and significant research topic in the modern electrical power system. Therefore, this paper proposes a configuration method of computing resources for the microservice-based edge computing apparatus in the smart distribution transformer area. The suitability of the microservice technology and edge computing apparatus is analyzed, and a model of microservice-based edge computing apparatus is proposed. Inspired by power demand and supply in the power system, a computing resource demand and supply model is proposed to represent the computing resource demand of power Internet of Things services and the computing resource supply of the microservice-based edge computing apparatus. Furthermore, a sequential logic-based evolution algorithm is designed to determine the configured capacities of computing resources for the microservice-based edge computing apparatus considering multi-aggregated service flows. Finally, simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
