The invention relates to a peak shifting control power socket based on virtual energy storage and a control method. A peak shifting control interface, a double-pole double-throw peak shifting turn-offswitch, a double-pole double-throw peak shifting voltage regulating switch, a peak shifting turn-off power supply socket, a peak shifting voltage regulating power supply socket and a power supply plug are arranged, an output control module of a power line carrier power utilization parameter receiving and controlling device is utilized, real-time control voltage of peak shifting cut-off and peak shifting voltage regulation is transmitted to the power socket through the peak shifting control interface, and an electric power user selects whether the power socket responds to related peak shiftingcontrol through the double-pole double-throw peak shifting turn-off switch and the double-pole double-throw peak shifting voltage regulating switch according to own requirements. Different peak loadshifting control schemes can be adopted when the electrical load is used in different electricity peak and valley periods, so that the periodic working time of electric equipment is reasonably controlled, and peak load shifting control of peak load shifting of a power grid is realized. According to the invention, the load control of peak clipping and valley filling of the power grid reaches the optimal state, the peak-valley load difference of power grid operation is reduced, and energy conservation and consumption reduction are realized.
