Summary: This framework establishes a comprehensive technical system for GHG emission management in Virtual Power Plants (VPPs). Based on transition from conventional statistical tools to a real-time optimization decision system, It is focused on key challenges such as high-frequency data acquisition from distributed devices, real-time data fusion, dynamic carbon accounting, and decision support for optimized scheduling and control. Centered on the interactive characteristics of “source-grid-load-storage”, the system enhances capabilities from traditional macro-level statistics to device-level micro-tracing. Through the integration of high-precision sensing networks, edge computing, and intelligent analytical algorithms, the proposed framework supports low-carbon scheduling optimization and participation in carbon trading. This provides a unified and reliable technical foundation for the green operation and carbon reduction optimization of virtual power plants. The framework specifies detailed technical requirements for the emission management. On the hardware side, it defines configuration standards for sensing-layer sensors, edge computing devices, and communication networks, ensuring high-precision monitoring and real-time responsiveness. On the software side, it establishes functional specifications for data collection and processing, carbon calculation engines, and decision support modules, supporting dynamic assessment and generation of optimization recommendations. The solution also emphasizes system security and reliability, including key indicators such as data encryption, redundancy design, and environmental adaptability. This framework is applicable to various VPP operational scenarios, providing standardized guidance for system construction, upgrades, and operation and maintenance. Implementation of the solution can effectively enhance the accuracy and credibility of GHG emission information, supporting the clean energy transition and carbon neutrality goals. Its adoption and promotion will provide a significant technical reference for the standardized development of VPPs worldwide and their participation in carbon markets.
