# VPP AI Platform · 虚拟电厂多时空协同智能运营平台

AI-assisted operations platform for a virtual power plant (VPP) in Hubei, China:
five LLM agents propose market bids, resource dispatch, and load-control plans;
a deterministic safety chain (rule check → simulation → envelope/human approval →
execution permit) governs everything before any external effect. **The LLM never
computes numbers and never touches the second-level control loop.**

**Status: M1–M4 implemented.** Design docs 00–13 are complete; implementation
follows [ROADMAP.md](ROADMAP.md). Present today:

- `packages/domain` — zod schemas for every business and safety-chain object, exported to
  `contracts/` and regenerated as pydantic models (`skills-py/vpp_contracts`).
- `packages/services` — deterministic services: ledger (with the P7 cascade), snapshot,
  time-series, relational and ingestion stores; policy engine + `hubei-spot-bidding` pack;
  envelope gate; authority (fresh check, permits, revocation); file-export gateway;
  event store/bus; lineage recorder + P2 assembler; revenue-scenario simulation; Case Desk.
- `skills-py/vpp_skills` — Python skill service: load/PV/price forecasts with calibrated
  quantiles, bid-optimization MILP, report generator.
- `packages/evals` — L2 eval harness with a committed baseline (on a **synthetic** dataset).
- `packages/runtime` — Mastra runtime: `proposal-lifecycle` (the safety chain, suspend/resume
  for human approval, durable across restarts), `day-ahead-situation`, `day-ahead-bid`;
  `award-decomposition` (resource agent: potential assessment → dispatch optimization →
  DISPATCH_PLAN through the same chain to a simulation gateway), `review` (D+1
  plan-vs-actual attribution → ReviewFinding → semantic memory + reliability writebacks +
  envelope change requests), `envelope-review` (the only path that changes an envelope,
  human-approved); envelope deviation-streak suspension; trigger service (scheduled / event /
  manual via router agent); provider-abstracted LLM port with an LLM-down mode; Case Desk
  HTTP API incl. AI insight cards. Bid release is a file export for manual upload (degraded
  channel by design).

All eight docs/01 invariants have automated tests (`packages/services/test/chain.test.ts`,
`packages/runtime/test/lifecycle.test.ts`); the docs/07 D-1 16:00 and D+1 sections run in
`packages/runtime/test/m4.test.ts`. Storage is file-backed reference semantics;
Postgres/Timescale adapters and the programmatic trading-platform channel are later work.
M5 (shadow run) is next.

## Development

Requires Node 24 and Python 3.11 (`skills-py/.python-version`; the generated
pydantic models use `StrEnum` and PEP 604 unions).

```sh
npm ci
npm run check            # typecheck, re-export contracts, run TS tests
npm run eval -w @vpp/evals -- --check   # L2 harness vs baseline (needs the skill service below)
npm run start -w @vpp/runtime            # runtime + Case Desk API on :4100 (VPP_LLM_MODEL unset = LLM-down mode)

cd skills-py
uv venv --python 3.11 .venv && uv pip install -r requirements.txt   # or python3.11 -m venv
source .venv/bin/activate
bash scripts/generate_models.sh   # regenerate pydantic models (committed, never hand-edited)
python -m pytest -q
python -m uvicorn vpp_skills.app:app --port 8000   # skill service for the eval harness
```

CI (`.github/workflows/ci.yml`) runs both sides and fails if `contracts/` or
`skills-py/vpp_contracts` are not regenerated after a schema change.

whose findings were integrated (see docs/01 invariants note);
[GLOSSARY.md](GLOSSARY.md) maps Chinese domain terms to canonical code names.
