Carbon emissions limit the output demand of traditional fuel-generating units, significantly affecting the electric power and energy balance scheduling mechanisms of modern power systems. To address this, we first analyzed the short-term electric power and energy balance from a dual perspective, along with the electro-carbon coupling mechanism of dynamic dispatching on the source-load side. Based on this analysis, we constructed a framework for low-carbon bilateral demand response (LCBDR). Subsequently, based on the carbon emission flow theory, the carbon emission index information of the demand response system was obtained. Therefore, the short-term electric power and energy balance optimal scheduling model for LCBDR is established to achieve a low-carbon economy. In this study, the enhanced decision tree classifier (EDTC) algorithm is used to predict the electricity consumption behavior of transfer load (TL) user load, and an improved ‘ ε-greedy’ strategy particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is proposed to realize the coordinated optimization of daily operational cost and daily carbon emission of the regional power grid. Finally, by setting up three different perspectives of the simulation examples, the proposed method can effectively realize the regional power grid’s low-carbon, economical, and efficient operation. The feasibility of the model can be verified via the IEEE-30 bus system.

Low-carbon development of integrated energy systems is achieved via the sharing of multiple energy interactions by park-level integrated energy systems (PIESs). However, coordinating profit distribution conflict between complex interactive stakeholders under stochastic scenarios is challenging. Accordingly, this study proposes a novel tri-layer framework that aggregates different game mechanisms to investigate the interactions between PIESs and coupled energy markets. First, a linkage trading mechanism is proposed by integrating carbon emissions trading and green certificate trading , which establishes a coupled electricity-carbon-green certificate market. Consequently, a park aggregation operator acts as an intermediary between PIESs and the coupled market, setting purchase and sale prices to guide unit generation in each PIES using the master-slave game theory. Then, the Nash game theory is applied to realize a cooperative bargaining among PIESs for fair revenue distribution. Further, the impact of uncertain environments has been considered using stochastic scenario methods and the conditional value-at-risk theory. Furthermore, to protect the privacy of each participating agent while improving convergence speed, a differential evolutionary method is combined with analysis target cascading to solve the framework. Finally, the proposed scheduling method is verified using a typical case to optimize conflicting PIES interests in multiple scenarios and realize decarbonization transformation.

To both enhance the flexibility of the power system and absorption capacity of renewable energy connected to a grid and achieve the efficient use and cooperation of multi-side complex type energy storage resources on the source, grid, and load sides, a collaborative optimal scheduling system architecture of source-grid-load-storage (SGLS) considering multiple energy storage types was constructed. Latin hypercube sampling and sample reduction based on k-medoids clustering were adopted to generate the SGLS scenarios, considering the emergency circumstances of the power system. The flexibility of the multi-scenario power system was evaluated, and the battery energy storage stations, pumped storage, and electric vehicles with sufficient capacity were configured on the source, grid, and load sides, respectively, to participate in the scheduling. A multi-scenario SGLS cooperative optimisation scheduling model that considers multiple energy storage capacity configuration types was constructed for economic and environmental protection. Based on data-driven, a multi-objective optimisation algorithm was proposed by using the Gaussian process regression algorithm and non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II, combined with the manifold interpolation batch evolution mechanism. Finally, using actual regional power grid data for verification, the proposed strategy effectively reduces system operating cost, enhances energy storage battery life, and improves the renewable energy consumption capacity.

The multi-scale flexibility coordination of multiple storages is a key technology to enhance the diversified regulation ability of the power system.This paper first considered the interaction mechanism of multi-type storage peak regulation time sequences based on the Euclidian distance, Dynamic time warping distance, and storage correlation distance. A matching index was proposed to consider the temporal correlation, overall distribution characteristics, and dynamic characteristics of the net load and energy storage. The multitype storage coordination mode, including battery storage, pumped storage, and electric vehicles, was formulated, and a collaborative optimal scheduling system architecture of source-grid-load-storage (SGLS) was constructed. To attain a low-carbon economy, a collaborative optimal scheduling model of SGLS considering the dynamic time-series complementarity of multiple energy storage systems was constructed. The Nash equilibrium theory was used to achieve friendly interaction among the source, grid, load, and storage. Then, an improved transfer reinforcement learning algorithm for SGLS was proposed, which used reinforcement learning and transfer learning algorithms combined with K-means clustering and dual-structure experience pool technology. The test results of actual regional power grid data indicated that the proposed strategy can effectively reduce the economic and carbon treatment costs of the system and improve the absorption capacity of renewable energy.
