[0002] With the deepening of cross-border energy trade in the future, the volume of cross-border transactions will show a rapid growth trend. However, the differences in energy market mechanisms, resource endowments, and energy trading policies among countries are becoming increasingly prominent. Energy interconnection has become an important part of China's foreign cooperation, and cross-border energy cooperation has become a crucial link in promoting rapid economic development. It plays a vital role in realizing the shared interests and destiny of energy cooperation and ensuring energy security for all countries. How to ensure the lowest system cost during long-distance cross-border energy transmission is a problem that needs further resolution. Existing research on integrated energy systems rarely considers heat load. As the degree of thermoelectric coupling continues to deepen, the demand response of heat load also has high research value. Currently, game theory models related to energy trading are mostly focused on the electricity market, lacking research on game theory methods for multiple energy trading aspects, and research on integrated energy trading involving electricity and heat interconnection is also limited.

[0095] A two-tier game framework for cross-border integrated energy systems, such as Figure 1 As shown.
[0096] Integrated energy retailers (IERs) are leaders and coordinators in cross-border integrated energy systems. They are responsible for balancing the power output of market investors across energy sources, loads, and storage, acting as managers. Users can interact and trade with IERs by providing feedback on their energy demand. In any demand response period t, an IER formulates a pricing strategy based on its own energy supply equipment output plan and the energy demand on the consumer side.

Based on the energy operator's set energy sales price, users optimize their electricity and heat loads according to incentive levels, reducing some non-critical loads and incurring response costs to earn response revenue. That is, demand-side electricity and heat users flexibly reduce their loads to respond to higher-level demand and obtain response revenue based on the amount of load reduction. The user's revenue function, which is the difference between their utility function and energy cost, can be expressed as follows for any demand response period t:

[0123] As the leader, the operator is at the top of the master-slave game model. Based on considerations such as demand response and power generation constraints, the operator sets subsidy prices with the aim of maximizing its revenue from demand response during any given demand response period. This can be expressed as:
[0124]
[0125] In the formula, This represents the revenue from energy sales to users by the integrated energy system of country i during time period t; Let $t$ represent the grid interaction cost of the integrated energy system of the i-th country during time period $t$. If $t$ is greater than 0, it means that the country is purchasing electricity from the grid; otherwise, it means that the country is selling electricity to the grid. This represents the fuel cost of the CCHP unit in the i-th integrated energy system country during time period t; This represents the equipment operation and maintenance cost of the integrated energy system of the i-th country during time period t;
[0126] S312) Lower-level response strategy in the game model
[0127] Users, as followers, are at the lower level of the master-slave game. Maximizing consumer surplus can be represented as:
[0128]
[0129] In the formula, Let represent the utility function of a user in the integrated energy system of the i-th country, which represents the degree of satisfaction a user obtains from purchasing electricity and heat. It is usually non-decreasing and convex, and has several forms such as quadratic and logarithmic. and Let the electrical load and thermal load of the user in the i-th country at time t be represented by quadratic functions:

[0184] When followers make the best response based on the leader's strategy, and the leader also obtains the best strategy, it indicates that the game has reached a Staberg equilibrium. If the condition of equation (54) is satisfied, then the equilibrium of the proposed Staberg game is reached:
[0185]
[0186] Once a game equilibrium is reached, none of the participants can unilaterally change their strategies to obtain higher returns.
[0187] Before finding the Staberg equilibrium solution, it is necessary to prove its existence and uniqueness.
[0188] The theorem used states that a unique Staberg equilibrium exists when the master-slave game model satisfies the following conditions:
[0189] 1) The strategy set of the leader and followers is a non-empty compact convex set;
[0190] 2) Once the leader's strategy is given, there is a unique optimal solution for all followers;
[0191] 3) Given the followers' strategies, there exists a unique optimal solution for the leader;
[0192] Proof: The following will prove that the master-slave game model of the cross-border integrated energy system satisfies the three conditions for the existence and uniqueness of the Staberg equilibrium mentioned above:
[0193] 1) According to the cross-border integrated energy system model, the leader's strategy needs to satisfy equation (30)-(53) and the user-side follower's strategy needs to satisfy equation (30)-(53). Therefore, the strategy set of each participant is non-empty and compact convex.
[0194] 2) Prove that given the leader's strategy, there exists a unique optimal solution for all followers:
[0195] Substitute equations (15)-(20) into equation (14), and then calculate the equations (14) with respect to the following conditions. The first-order partial derivative yields:
[0196]
[0197] In the formula, ηh =(1-η GT ) / η GT To establish the relationship between the output electrical power of the gas-fired boiler and the waste heat recovery power, setting the first-order partial derivative to zero, we can obtain:
[0198]
[0199] Then, find the equation (1) with respect to... The second-order partial derivative yields:
[0200]
[0201] Since the cost coefficient is positive, the second-order partial derivative is always less than 0. The extreme point is the maximum point of equation (23). However, due to the constraints of the upper and lower limits of the strategy interval, the extreme point may fall on the boundary of the interval when the energy price changes. Therefore, the value of the optimal strategy on the energy supply side can be expressed as:
[0202]
[0203] Therefore, regardless of the value, once the operator's purchase price is given, there exists a unique optimal solution for the integrated energy system operator.
[0204] Next, we calculate the objective function (24) of the user with respect to... and The first-order partial derivative yields:
[0205]
[0206] Setting the first-order partial derivative above to 0, we can obtain:
[0207]
[0208] Then find the equation (24) with respect to... and The second-order partial derivative yields:
[0209]
[0210] Since the energy preference coefficient is generally positive, the second-order partial derivatives here are all less than 0. and Given that this is the maximum point of equation (24), and considering the constraint on the interval of the optimization variables, the optimal solution can be expressed as:
[0211]
[0212] Therefore, once the operator's selling price is given, there is also a unique optimal solution for the user;
[0213] 3) Prove that once the follower's strategy is given, the leader has a unique optimal solution, and the operator's profit can be expressed as:
[0214]
[0215] The follower's set of optimization strategies are valued. Substituting into the above equation, and finding the leader's objective function (1) regarding... The first-order partial derivatives yield:
[0216]
[0217] In the formula, η h =(1-η GT ) / η GT At this point, the Hessian matrix of the leader's payoff function is expressed as:
[0218]
[0219] It can be observed that the Hessian matrix is negative definite, thus indicating the existence of a maximum point. Similarly, when the follower takes other extreme points, it can be proven that the leader has a unique optimal solution, and the proof is similar to the above process. In summary, the master-follower game model proposed in this invention has a unique Staberg equilibrium.
[0220] S33) Model Solving Method
[0221] For the aforementioned master-slave game model, different solution algorithms are used to optimize the payoff functions of each agent in the upper and lower layers of the model. The solution for the leader (energy operator) is obtained using a differential evolution algorithm to reduce the difficulty, while the solution for the follower (user) is obtained using Yalmip modeling and the Cplex solution tool to accelerate the algorithm's solution speed and ensure the accuracy of the results. If each participant obtains the same optimal strategy in two consecutive rounds, i.e.:
[0222]
[0223] According to the definition of Staberg equilibrium, the country's strategy combination has converged to an equilibrium point, at which point no participant can change their strategy alone to gain more benefits.
[0224] The model solution process of the S33) model solution method is as follows:
[0225] The upper-level optimization algorithm includes the following steps:
[0226] ①: Input initial data and set parameters, including the user's typical daily and thermal power, wind turbine and photovoltaic predicted output, operating parameters of each device, and upper and lower limits of energy prices, etc.
[0227] ②: Initialize the population a and set the iteration count K = 0;
[0228] ③: The integrated energy operator sends the optimized energy selling price to the lower - layer user followers;
[0229] ④: The users call the lower - layer algorithm to calculate their own benefits;
[0230] ⑤: The integrated energy operator calculates its own objective function U1 according to Equation (14);
[0231] ⑥: Perform crossover and mutation operations on the population a to obtain a new population b;
[0232] ⑦: Call the lower - layer algorithm again to optimize and solve the follower's objective function, and send the optimization result to the upper - layer integrated energy operator. The integrated energy operator calculates its own objective function U2 according to Equations (15) - (25);
[0233] ⑧: Selection operation. If U2 > U1, then a = b and U1 = U2. If U2 < U1, then keep unchanged;
[0234] ⑨: Determine whether the iteration count is satisfied. If satisfied, output the optimal result. Otherwise, jump to ⑥;
[0235] The lower - layer algorithm includes the following steps:
[0236] ①: The users call the Cplex solving tool to calculate the user's electrical and thermal adjustable loads according to Equation (23);
[0237] ②: Send the optimization result to the upper - layer leader.
[0238] The result of the case analysis and verification in step S4) is as follows:
[0239] The iterative convergence results of integrated energy operators and users in various countries reach convergence at about 200 iterations. In the upper - layer game, the integrated energy operator's revenue shows a gradually increasing trend by continuously adjusting its energy selling price and equipment output. In the lower - layer game, the users' revenue function fluctuates by reasonably adjusting their energy - using strategies in combination with the upper - layer leader's energy selling price. There is an obvious game interaction between the two sides, and both finally reach convergence. Through the above game analysis, the game process between the two sides can be well reflected. When the game reaches the Stackelberg equilibrium, their strategies will no longer change.
[0240] The following is a detailed description of one of the case analysis and verification examples of the present invention.
[0241] Case analysis
[0242] To verify the economics and feasibility of the model built by the master-slave game collaborative operation optimization method of the cross-border integrated energy system considering demand response in this invention, this invention selects three regions—China, Laos, and Myanmar—for case analysis. In this case, the integrated energy system operators of each country can exchange thermal and electrical energy. Within each region, renewable energy generation and the power generation and heating of each unit prioritize meeting the load of users in the region. When there is a surplus, electricity and heat are sold to the power and heat network; when there is a shortage, electricity and heat are purchased from the power and heat network.
[0243] The simulation calculations for this invention were performed using MATLAB R2016a software combined with the YALMIMP plugin to call the CPLEX solver. The computer configuration was an Intel Core i7 processor with a clock speed of 1.8GHz and 16GB of memory. The particle swarm size was set to 10, and the number of evolutions was set to 30.
[0244] Example parameters
[0245] This example demonstrates the predicted renewable energy output and electricity and heat load forecasts for various countries' integrated energy systems. Figure 2 As shown, the peak electrical load occurs between 10:00-13:00 and 18:00-22:00, while the peak thermal load occurs between 4:00-8:00. Assuming that transferable electrical load accounts for 20% of the total electrical load, and transferable thermal load, due to its greater adjustment difficulty, accounts for 10% of the total thermal load, the upper limit of transferable electrical load power is 250kW, and the upper limit of transferable thermal load power is 200kW. The user's preference coefficient for electricity and heat energy is v. e v h a e a h The values are 1.6, 1.2, 0.0011, and 0.0014 respectively, and the fuel cost coefficients a, b, and c of the IER are 0.0015, 0.16, and 0 respectively. The IES equipment capacity of each country is shown in Table 1, and the electricity and heat prices of each country are shown in Table 2. This system uses a 24-hour day as a cycle and adopts... Figure 1 The diagram shows the cross-border integrated energy system structure. Each country's IES includes residential users, commercial users, and industrial users.

[0250] Results Analysis
[0251] Independent operation of integrated energy systems in various countries
[0252] The simulation results show that the iterative convergence results for integrated energy operators and users in various countries are as follows: Figure 3 , 4 As shown, convergence was achieved after approximately 200 iterations. In the upper-level game, the integrated energy operator's revenue gradually increased by continuously adjusting its energy sales price and equipment output. In the lower-level game, users adjusted their energy consumption strategies based on the energy sales price of the upper-level leader, resulting in fluctuations in their revenue function. The graph clearly shows a significant game interaction between the two sides, ultimately leading to convergence. This game analysis effectively reflects the game process between the two parties. Once the Staberg equilibrium is reached, their strategies remain unchanged. Ultimately, the revenues of the leading integrated energy operators in countries A, B, and C are 16133.7, 16246.6, and 19016.6 yuan, respectively; the consumer surplus of the follower users in countries A, B, and C are 16807.7, 17593.5, and 18647.7 yuan, respectively.
[0253] The pricing strategies of top-level operators in various countries are as follows: Figure 5 , 6 As shown in Figure 7, the red and green dashed lines represent the time-of-use (TOU) price and the grid connection price, respectively, when interacting with the power grid. To prioritize the consumption of renewable energy within the system, operators' pricing strategies are always included within the pricing of the main grid, providing energy consumers with more favorable prices. The figure shows that the fluctuation trend of operators' electricity sales prices is consistent with the TOU price of the main grid, aiming to incentivize users to actively purchase electricity. Similarly, the analysis of heat prices is similar to that of electricity prices. Figure 8 , 9 As can be seen from point 10, the heating price strategy is always contained within the upper and lower limits of the heating network pricing, providing better prices for energy users. The purpose is to incentivize users to actively purchase heating, and the purchase price is related to the trend of user heat load.
[0254] Electricity and heat load curves before and after user-side demand response in various countries are as follows: Figure 11-16 As shown. By Figure 11-13 It can be seen that, driven by electricity price incentives, in order to reduce overall electricity costs, the electricity load curves of various countries exhibit a "peak shaving and valley filling" characteristic before and after demand response. The original peak load curves on the user side of various countries occurred between 10:00-13:00 and 18:00-22:00, when electricity prices were relatively high. After user-side optimization, the peak load significantly decreased, shifting to the valley load phases with lower electricity prices between 0:00-8:00 and 23:00-24:00, resulting in a significant reduction in the fluctuation of the electricity load curve. Figure 14-16 It can be seen that the trends of heat load and electrical load on the user side are roughly the same in various countries. However, since users are more sensitive to changes in heat, the amount of heat load transfer is relatively small in order to ensure user comfort.
[0255] This invention, based on the principle of low carbon emissions and considering the environmental friendliness of new energy sources, prioritizes the consumption of new energy power generation by integrated energy operators in various countries. Figure 17-19 According to power dispatch results, during the off-peak electricity consumption period from 23:00 to 7:00, electricity consumption is low in various countries, and electricity prices are at their lowest. The electricity load is mainly supplied by wind turbines, with the shortfall supplemented by gas turbines. During this time, the gas turbines operate at low pressure but produce a relatively high output; the excess power is transferred to the batteries in the IER (Integrated Electricity Recycling Unit) for charging and storage. Figure 20-22 The thermal energy dispatch results show that, to ensure heating supply, operators guide boiler output through price responses. The heat load is primarily borne by waste heat boilers and gas-fired boilers, with excess heat stored in IERs via thermal storage tanks. During periods of low demand, electricity demand gradually increases, wind and solar power output is fully absorbed, gas turbine output increases, and any shortfall is compensated for through interaction with the main power grid. The heat load is still provided by waste heat boilers and gas-fired boilers, with any shortfall supplemented by heat release through thermal storage tanks.
[0256] Comparison of the coordinated operation of integrated energy systems in various countries
[0257] The simulation results show that, considering coordinated operation, the iterative convergence results for integrated energy operators and users in various countries are as follows: Figure 23 , 24 As shown, once the Staberg equilibrium is reached, their strategies remain unchanged. Ultimately, the revenues of the leading integrated energy operators in countries A, B, and C are RMB 17,133.7, 17,246.6, and 19,816.6, respectively, while the surplus of the follower users in countries A, B, and C are RMB 17,807.7, 18,593.5, and 19,447.7, respectively. This demonstrates that by considering cross-border energy interactions within the integrated energy system, the interactions between countries are incorporated into the game strategy, improving the efficiency of resource optimization and allocation among countries, effectively reducing energy purchase costs for each country, and increasing the revenues of cross-border countries.
[0258] in conclusion
[0259] This invention proposes a master-slave game-theoretic collaborative operation optimization method for cross-border integrated energy systems that considers demand response. The game process is divided into two layers: the upper layer, the Integrated Energy Controller (IER), acts as the leader, disseminating the output of each unit and energy sales prices to the lower layer users. Users adjust their demand based on the output plan and energy sales prices provided by the upper-layer IER, achieving multi-entity collaborative optimization operation. Finally, numerical examples verify the effectiveness of the proposed model, leading to the following conclusions:
[0260] (1) This invention introduces a master-slave game model between integrated energy system vendors and users to solve the optimal solution of the Staberg equilibrium. By adjusting prices, it guides each entity to adjust its own output and energy demand, which can effectively improve the source-side revenue and reduce the load-side cost.
[0261] (2) By introducing various types of load demand response models, peak shaving and valley filling of user electricity and heat loads were achieved within a reasonable range, effectively smoothing load fluctuations and improving system economy;
[0262] (3) Considering that cross-border interaction between energy systems can regulate the imbalance of resource allocation between countries, it can effectively reduce the amount of electricity purchased by the grid, increase the proportion of natural gas used and the amount of renewable energy consumed, which is of great significance for reducing the carbon emissions of system units and achieving carbon neutrality. It is an important way to achieve coordinated operation of cross-border integrated energy systems.

2. The optimization method for master-slave collaborative operation of a cross-border integrated energy system considering demand response, as described in claim 1, is characterized in that: In S32), before solving for the Staberg equilibrium solution, it is necessary to prove its existence and uniqueness. The theorem used states that a unique Staberg equilibrium exists when the master-slave game model satisfies the following conditions: 1) The strategy set of the leader and followers is a non-empty compact convex set; 2) Once the leader's strategy is given, there is a unique optimal solution for all followers; 3) When the strategies of the followers are given, there exists a unique optimal solution for the leader; Proof: The following will prove respectively that the master-slave game model of the cross-border integrated energy system satisfies the above three conditions for the existence and uniqueness of the Stackelberg equilibrium: 1) According to the cross-border integrated energy system model, the strategy of the leader needs to satisfy equation, and the strategy of the follower on the user side needs to satisfy equations (30)-(53). Therefore, the strategy set of each participant is non-empty and compact convex; 2) Prove that when the strategy of the leader is given, there exists a unique optimal solution for all followers: Substitute equations (15)-(20) into equation (14), and then calculate the equations (14) with respect to the following conditions. The first-order partial derivative yields: In the formula, η h =(1-η GT ) / η GT To establish the relationship between the output electrical power of the gas-fired boiler and the waste heat recovery power, setting the first-order partial derivative to zero, we can obtain: Then, find the equation (1) with respect to... The second-order partial derivative yields: Since the cost coefficient is positive, the second-order partial derivative is always less than 0. The extreme point is the maximum point of equation (23). However, due to the constraints of the upper and lower limits of the strategy interval, the extreme point may fall on the boundary of the interval when the energy price changes. Therefore, the value of the optimal strategy on the energy supply side can be expressed as: Therefore, regardless of the value, when the purchase price of the operator is given, there exists a unique optimal solution for the integrated energy system operator; Next, we calculate the objective function (24) of the user with respect to... and The first-order partial derivative yields: Let the above first-order partial derivatives be equal to 0, and we can get: Then find the equation (24) with respect to... and The second-order partial derivative yields: Since the energy preference coefficient is also positive, the second-order partial derivatives are all less than 0. and Given that this is the maximum point of equation (24), and considering the constraint on the interval of the optimization variables, the optimal solution can be expressed as: Therefore, when the selling price of the operator is given, there also exists a unique optimal solution for the user; 3) Prove that when the strategies of the followers are given, there exists a unique optimal solution for the leader. At this time, the revenue of the operator can be expressed as: The follower's set of optimization strategies are valued. Substituting into the above equation, and finding the leader's objective function (1) regarding... The first-order partial derivatives yield: In the formula, η h =(1-η GT ) / η GT At this point, the Hessian matrix of the leader's payoff function is expressed as: It can be found that the Hessian matrix is negative definite, so there exists a maximum point; when the followers take other extreme points, it can also be proved similarly that there exists a unique optimal solution for the leader, and the proof is similar to the above process; In summary, the proposed master-slave game model has a unique Stackelberg equilibrium.

The integrated energy operator calculates its own objective function U2 according to equations (15)-(25); ⑧: Selection operation. If U2 > U1, then a = b, U1 = U2. If U2 < U1, then keep it unchanged; ⑨: Judge whether the iteration number is satisfied. If it is satisfied, output the optimal result, otherwise jump to ⑥; The lower-layer algorithm includes the following steps: ①: The user calls the Cplex solving tool to calculate the adjustable electricity and heat loads of the user according to equation (23); ②: Send the optimization result to the upper-layer leader.
4. The master-slave game-theoretic collaborative operation optimization method for cross-border integrated energy systems considering demand response, as described in claim 1, is characterized in that... The result of the example analysis and verification in step S4) is as follows: In the upper-layer game, the integrated energy operator's revenue shows a gradually increasing trend by continuously adjusting its own energy selling price and device output; in the lower-layer game, the user's revenue function fluctuates by reasonably adjusting its own energy consumption strategy in combination with the energy selling price of the upper-layer leader. There is an obvious game interaction between the two sides, and both finally reach convergence. Through the above game analysis, the game process between the two sides can be well reflected. When the game reaches the Stackelberg equilibrium, their strategies will no longer change.
