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–M3 implemented. Design docs 00–13 are complete; implementation follows 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; trigger service (scheduled / event / manual via router agent); provider-abstracted LLM port with an LLM-down mode; Case Desk HTTP API. 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). Storage is file-backed reference semantics; Postgres/Timescale adapters and the programmatic trading-platform channel are later work. M4 (resource agent, envelopes live, review loop) is next.

Development

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

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.

You are…	Start with
A coding agent about to implement	CLAUDE.md, then docs/00, 01, 09, 11
New to the project	docs/00-overview.md → docs/07-scenario-walkthrough.md (the end-to-end reference scenario)
Reviewing the business case	proposal.md (申报材料, source of requirements)
Looking for a settled decision	docs/adr/
Wondering what's still undecided	docs/open-questions.md

Document map (docs are in Chinese; implementation-facing files in English)

01-principles	9 principles + 8 hard invariants (binding for all code)
02-cognitive-plane	Five agents, Runtime, memory, Case Desk
03-safety-chain	Proposal state machine, envelopes, permits, staleness
04-control-plane	Execution engine, edge autonomy, time/space cascades
05-skills-and-data	Skill contracts, five-store data layer, policy packs
06-integration	External system boundaries and degraded channels
07-scenario-walkthrough	Day-ahead spot bidding, D-1 → D → D+1
08-implementation	Stack, LLM abstraction, deployment, milestones
09-runtime-implementation	Runtime on Mastra: workflows, suspend/resume, lineage
10-federation	Cross-province boundary: signed artifacts only
11-contracts	Ports, canonical objects, TS↔Python contract pipeline
12-evaluation	Four-layer evals, change gates, KPI definitions
13-risks-failure-modes	FMEA, top-5 risks, kill-switch hierarchy

Supporting: brainstorming.md is an independent peer review whose findings were integrated (see docs/01 invariants note); GLOSSARY.md maps Chinese domain terms to canonical code names.
