Research on bi‐layer low carbon scheduling strategy for source‐load collaborative optimization based on node carbon emission intensity

Abstract

Abstract To accurately calculate the carbon emission of integrated energy system (IES), and fully explore the potential for load side on carbon emission reduction, this paper proposes a method of guiding load to participate in demand response based on node carbon emission intensity, and constructs a bi‐layer low‐carbon scheduling model for source‐load collaborative optimization. First, the carbon flow calculation model of IES in the total process is established, such as source, network, load, and storage. It can depict the carbon emission characteristics of energy conversion equipment and energy storage devices. The principle of proportional sharing is used to track carbon emission flows, the changes in carbon emission intensity at each node is perceived from a spatiotemporal perspective. Second, carbon flow analysis is incorporated into the load demand response mechanism, and a carbon emission model for load aggregator (LA) after demand response is established based on the node carbon emission intensity. Third, a bi‐layer low‐carbon scheduling model is constructed, which considers the source‐load collaborative optimization. The upper layer is the optimal economic dispatch of IES operators, while the lower layer is the optimal economic dispatch of LAs. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified using the system as an example, such as improved 14‐node power grid, 6‐node heating network, and 6‐node nature gas network.
