Optimal management of multi stakeholder integrated energy system considering dual incentive demand response and carbon trading mechanism

Abstract

Numerous emerging market organizations have entered the energy market as a result of the gradual expansion in energy market reforms, resulting in fierce competition among them. Meanwhile, the deterioration of environmental contamination and rising energy demands have steadily gained prominence. Therefore, to solve the problems of environmental pollution and conflict of interests among multiple stakeholders in the integrated energy system (IES), this paper proposes a novel collaborative optimization strategy for a low-carbon economy in the IES based on carbon trading mechanism and Stackelberg game theory. First, a novel multistakeholder low-carbon transaction mechanism is proposed, which takes into account the initiative and decision-making capacities in the three-party stakeholders of energy supply, demand, and storage. Second, a reward and punishment ladder-type carbon trading mechanism and an integrated demand response strategy based on the price information and carbon compensation are proposed to improve the system economy and environmental benefits. Finally, the mathematical models of each stakeholder are established and are solved by a two-stage optimization algorithm. The simulation results verify that in a carbon-constrained environment, all stakeholders can benefit from the proposed transaction mechanism, resulting in an economical and environmentally friendly optimal scheduling of the IES. Novelty Statement A novel low-carbon transaction mechanism based on the carbon trading mechanism and the Stackelberg game theory is established. A reward and punishment ladder-type carbon trading mechanism is introduced. A novel integrated demand response strategy based on the price information and carbon compensation is proposed. A multistakeholder mathematical optimization model is established and solved using a two-stage algorithm.
