Price-Based Demand Response Mechanism of Prosumer Groups Considering Real-Time Carbon Emission Reduction

Abstract

With the continuous development of electricity market, electricity price mechanism has been continuously improved, but carbon emission factor has not been considered in the formulation of electricity price mechanism, and research on the demand side coupling of electricity price and carbon emission cost is still limited. Aiming at promoting carbon emission reduction, this paper fully considers the characteristics of prosumer differentiation in the process of load regulation and optimization of producers and consumers, and proposes a price demand response mechanism considering carbon emission and the edge cloud collaborative optimization strategy. By utilizing the proposed carbon electricity discount factor on the premise of fairness, prosumers who actively participate in the regulation of carbon emission reduction can obtain more electricity price discounts. The simulation results show that based on the proposed demand response mechanism with carbon electricity discount factor, the efficiency of electricity retailers can be increased by 2.4 and 0.9 times respectively when photovoltaic power generation is more or less than demand.
