[0002] With the acceleration of social modernization, the development and utilization of new energy power generation is an important measure for my country to optimize its energy structure and ensure energy security. In recent years, my country's new energy power generation has made significant progress. However, the development of power grid infrastructure construction and power transmission, distribution, and sales mechanisms has lagged behind, leading to increasingly serious problems of wind and solar power curtailment. Therefore, to address this issue, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) pointed out in the "Notice on Further Improving the Time-of-Use Pricing Mechanism (NDRC Price

[2021] No. 1093)" that in areas where combined heat and power (CHP) units and renewable energy capacity account for a large proportion and where the power system experiences a significant period of supply exceeding demand, a deep-valley pricing mechanism can be established, referencing the peak-hour pricing mechanism. The NDRC also emphasized strengthening the connection and coordination between peak-hour and deep-valley pricing mechanisms and electricity demand-side management policies to fully tap the demand-side adjustment capacity.

[0003] With the worsening of environmental problems and the development of related technologies, the large-scale popularization of new energy power generation has become an inevitable trend. New energy power generation has its own unique characteristics, such as the nocturnal nature of photovoltaic power generation and the anti-peak-shaving characteristics of wind power, which increase the likelihood of high generation during midday and evening hours. What were originally peak electricity consumption periods become off-peak periods to accommodate new energy consumption. Therefore, establishing a deep-valley electricity pricing mechanism design and optimization model for new energy consumption has broad prospects. However, how to establish a deep-valley electricity pricing model and how to optimize the time period division and prices for each time period remain unsolved. Summary of the Invention
