Optimal locating method of edge computing device in cyber physical distribution system

With the development of interconnection of massive terminals, high maintenance of equipment data and complexity of network structure in distribution system, the traditional information processing mode based on single cloud master station has some disadvantages, such as high data transmission delay, high congestion, information far away from equipment and slow queuing processing. Edge computing can make local fast analysis and decision for data in the near terminal device side, which can effectively make up for the deficiency of cloud computing. As the cornerstone of edge computing, edge control processing node is the first premise to realize fast response control of cyber physical distribution system (CPDS). In this paper, a new method of edge computing node deployment is proposed for the distributed edge computing requirements of cyber physical distribution system, considering the cyber stability and power stability. The community theory based on distribution network power flow and line impedance is used to divide the edge computing autonomous region, and the calculation model of cyber stability and power stability of CPDS network is established, then the optimal deployment of CPDS edge computing nodes is solved by the hybrid entropy calculation of cyber and power. Finally, an improved standard example is used for simulation analysis. The simulation results show that the ECN deployment scheme proposed in this paper can effectively reduce network congestion, improve network response speed and realize optimal control of distribution network.
