“…However, as summarized in Table 1, the peak shaving optimization scheduling models in the above research are usually and mainly established for centralized and utility-scale PV, energy storage, and wind power, and there are few research studies focusing on the DGs in peak shaving. Moreover, due to the small capacity, large number, random location of DGs, applying the above method in scheduling for each DG participating in peak shaving directly will lead to problems, such as difficulty in solving, explosion of variable dimensions, and hard in convergence of the solution results [18].Clustering partition provides a new way to deal with a large number of scattered DGs [19,20], and the cluster algorithm is one of the commonly used methods, such as K-means, self-organizing mappings, fuzzy C-means, and agglomerative hierarchical clustering [21][22][23]. Through the cluster methods, the corresponding aggregation model can be obtained, so that the roughly adjustable capacity of each cluster can be estimated, and this value is often fixed.…”
