Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power dispatching, and specifically to a power demand-side management optimization method based on electric carbon coupling and dynamic carbon emissions. Background Technology
[0002] The construction of sustainable power systems is crucial for achieving global decarbonization goals and meeting growing electricity demand. However, the integration of a high proportion of variable renewable energy sources has led to intermittent power supply issues, requiring greater flexibility in power systems. Demand response, as a key technology for unlocking the potential of demand-side resources, incentivizes consumers to adjust their electricity consumption patterns through technical and economic means, thereby improving system flexibility. With the coupling of electricity markets and carbon emission trading systems, competitive electricity markets are improving operational efficiency, reducing costs, and achieving environmental goals by introducing demand response. The introduction of demand response changes electricity demand patterns, thus affecting the dispatch of generation resources and market operation. Currently, there are two main market-based demand response mechanisms: price-based demand response and low-carbon demand response. Price-based demand response transmits price signals of market supply and demand changes to consumers through real-time pricing mechanisms or time-of-use pricing mechanisms, promoting optimal resource allocation. Low-carbon demand response, on the other hand, uses real-time dynamic electricity consumption carbon emission factors to guide users to proactively reduce carbon emissions, achieving direct emission reduction effects. Although existing research has recognized the differences between price-based and low-carbon demand response, a systematic comparative analysis of their specific impacts on the market has not yet been conducted.
[0003] Furthermore, the impact of demand response scheme types and implementation methods on market operation has not been fully studied. More and more scholars are beginning to focus on the role of demand response in the market, gradually shifting their research focus from demand-side response mechanisms and potential assessments to the impact of demand response itself on electricity market design and operation. However, these studies involve multiple market-based demand response schemes, with multi-dimensional but fragmented research perspectives, covering aspects such as power system investment planning, unit dispatch, market electricity prices, economic benefits, and environmental impact. Almost no research attempts to clearly distinguish the types of demand response schemes, let alone compare the differences in their impact on market operation. In addition, most studies still do not consider the new scenario of the gradual coupling of the electricity market and the carbon market under decarbonization goals, and most studies use similar macro-level methods to study the impact of demand response on market operation. For example, Mier et al. used a partial equilibrium electricity market model to assess the impact of implementing short-term demand response and energy efficiency on the transition of the European electricity market under climate goals. However, macro-level methods cannot fully reflect how these market-based demand response schemes affect unit commitment processes and power dispatch processes, thereby affecting market operation. They also cannot simulate changes in market operation under different scenarios, nor can they clarify and compare the implementation effects of market-based demand response.
[0004] Due to various problems with existing models, electricity market clearing models have emerged. These models are widely used in electricity market design, operation, and regulation, potentially providing an open and unified framework and mechanism for model construction. Electricity market clearing models mainly consist of two parts: unit allocation and economic dispatch. The consistency, constraints, and flexibility in objective construction of clearing rules give market clearing models good scalability, and they can support multi-scenario simulations through parameter control. Numerous model variations are widely used in electricity market planning and dispatch, unit allocation, scenario analysis, and policy simulation. For example, Xinyu et al. introduced a cross-sectoral high-resolution electricity allocation model to simulate the optimal national power system structure in China under different renewable energy investment levels from 2030 to 2050.
[0005] However, no model currently exists that can extend the comparison of different market-based demand response schemes under the scenario of electricity-carbon coupling. This involves many challenges that have not been previously considered, including the coupling mode and strength of the carbon market, the quantitative transmission of carbon costs, the design of participation mechanisms for different demand response schemes, the dynamic emission characteristics of generating units, and market policies. These all need to be modeled as components of objective functions and constraints according to real-world scenarios to characterize the optimal strategies for power system operators, power plants, and the demand side. Furthermore, in most studies on generating unit modeling, the carbon emission factor of the unit is assumed to be static. However, extensive actual monitoring and theoretical reasoning have demonstrated that during generator operation, the carbon emission factor is dynamic rather than static and closely related to its power output, or more precisely, inversely proportional to power.
[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, it is essential to research and design a novel power demand-side management optimization method based on electricity-carbon coupling and dynamic carbon emissions, thereby overcoming the existing issues in power market demand-side management optimization. Summary of the Invention

Furthermore, it introduces reliability constraints into the market planning and scheduling model to ensure real-time system source-load balance and introduces reserve constraints to address load forecasting and renewable energy output. This method reduces prediction errors and enhances the overall framework's flexibility. It allows for a deeper analysis of the specific impacts of demand response schemes on market operations, providing a scientific basis for deploying flexible strategies for sustainable power systems. It expands the comparison of different market-based demand response schemes under electricity-carbon coupling scenarios and considers the dynamic nature of carbon emission factors, avoiding the "black box" drawbacks of using macroscopic parameters to study the impact of demand response. Based on a model-driven approach, it fully demonstrates the internal flows of power generation, emissions, and economic variables in the market under the influence of demand response, elucidating the impact of demand response on market operations from a bottom-up perspective and providing decision-makers with more realistic information.

[0388] Scenario 1: BAU scenario. In the first phase, the model optimizes the scheduling plan based on the lowest system cost. In the second phase, the model does not adopt any demand response scheme.
[0389] Scenario 2: The first-stage model optimizes the scheduling plan based on the lowest system cost, while the second-stage model runs a price-based demand response (PBDR) based on dynamic prices.
[0390] Scenario 3: The first-stage model optimizes the scheduling plan based on the lowest system cost, and the second-stage model runs a low-carbon demand response based on marginal carbon emission factors (MEF-based Demand Response, MBDR).
[0391] Scenario 4: The first-stage model optimizes the scheduling plan based on the lowest system cost, and the second-stage model runs a low-carbon demand response (XEF-based Demand Response, XBDR) based on the average carbon emission factor.
[0392] The Australian Energy Market Operator website provided the load data used in this embodiment, and the open-source research report provided data on the output of photovoltaic and wind turbine units. Detailed information on the characteristic parameters of the thermal power units in this embodiment is shown in Table 1.
[0393] Table 1 Detailed Information on Characteristic Parameters of Thermal Power Units
[0394]
[0395] The specifications of the thermal power units used in this embodiment represent the main operating units currently, as shown in the table. and The coefficients of the fitting curve between the unit's dynamic carbon emission factor and power are used to quantitatively describe the role of the unit's dynamic characteristics in market operation. The economic and technical parameters of renewable energy and stand-alone energy storage units are shown in Table 2.
[0396] Table 2 Economic and technical parameters of renewable energy units and independent energy storage units
[0397]
[0398] It should be noted that the investment costs in Table 1-2 are amortized over 5 years at a 7% interest rate.
[0399] Figure 3This shows the differences in the types and capacities of market unit investment under different demand response scenarios. Scenario 2 has the lowest installed capacity, decreasing by 3.56% compared to Scenario 1. Scenario 3-4, however, increase installed capacity by 3.04% and 2.30%, respectively. It can be observed that demand response does not change the composition of basic power generation units, such as Gen2 and Gen3, which consistently appear with the same capacity in each scenario. The changes in installed capacity mainly stem from changes in the investment capacity of Gen6 and gas turbine units, fluctuating between these two investment capacities in Scenario 1-4. This is related to their potential marginal position in unit output. Compared to Scenario 1, Scenario 2 shifts investment from Gen7 and Gen9 to Gen6, increasing the capacity share of coal-fired power units in thermal power units by 3.8%. Scenario 3-4, building on Scenario 1, further increase investment in Gen7, increasing the capacity share of gas turbine units in thermal power units by 2.51% and 1.56%, respectively.
[0400] The changes in investment capacity for renewable energy units and stand-alone energy storage units are not significant compared to those for thermal power units; the rate of change in investment capacity for scenarios 2-4 does not exceed 1%. Due to the low generation capacity factor, renewable energy units account for the highest proportion of installed capacity in each scenario. Furthermore, across all scenarios, the investment capacity of stand-alone energy storage units is on average 2.18% higher than the minimum energy storage ratio (set at 20% in these scenarios), which is particularly evident in scenario 2. This indicates that the electricity-carbon coupling market can increase the operational capacity of stand-alone energy storage units in the electricity market through market-based mechanisms, complementing thermal power units and enhancing the flexibility of the electricity market.
[0401] To further explain the changes in the unit portfolio and its response to market conditions, this embodiment will analyze the timing of the unit's operation within the scheduling cycle. Figure 4 This demonstrates the changes in unit output and load shifting under different demand response scenarios. In Scenario 1... Figure 4 (a) Under the electricity-carbon market coupled with a market mechanism, renewable energy units with near-zero marginal costs have priority in bidding and are fully absorbed by the market. Independent energy storage units charge and discharge appropriately during peak output and load periods of renewable energy units to make up for load gaps. Among them, coal-fired power units with lower overall marginal costs, such as Gen2 and Gen3, will be prioritized for elimination. Due to their inflexibility, they always provide stable output. Coal-fired power units Gen6 and gas-fired power units Gen7 and Gen9, with higher overall marginal costs, are used as marginal units during the dispatch cycle due to their better flexibility. Their output is adjusted more frequently to adapt to the constantly changing load curve. For ease of description later, the time period when gas-fired power units are used as marginal units is defined as the peak load period (6:00-8:00 and 16:00-24:00), and the remaining time period is defined as the valley load period.
[0402] In a price-based DR scenario, such as Figure 4 (b) The load curve adjusts along the market clearing price. It can be observed that the price trend is similar to the load curve; therefore, the price-based DR reduces the peak load (18:00-24:00) by an average of 267.92MW and shifts it to the valley load (10:00-15:00 and 1:00-5:00). The reduction in peak load leads to the cancellation of investments in the original marginal units Gen7 and Gen9, with the marginal units being transferred to the coal-fired unit Gen6. Simultaneously, the output of independent energy storage units and other units decreases to varying degrees, with the imbalance being met by Gen6, resulting in an 87.08% increase in Gen6's power generation. At the same time, the peak-shaving and valley-filling effect reduces the demand for independent energy storage units, ultimately reducing power generation by 1.12% compared to Scenario 1.
[0403] like Figure 4 As shown in (c), in contrast to Scenario 2, MEF-based DR will cause a reverse change in load, with electricity load shifting from off-peak to peak periods. The increased load during the MEF off-peak period is primarily balanced by the addition of larger-capacity, cleaner marginal units (Gen7) and independent energy storage units, while some Gen9 investments are cancelled due to insufficient capacity to meet the increased load. The decreased load during the MEF peak period is primarily balanced by reduced power generation from thermal power units and increased charging power from energy storage; any remaining imbalance is supplemented by increased output from renewable energy units. Unlike Scenario 2, the increased peak load of MEF-based DR increases the discharge demand of independent energy storage units, ultimately resulting in a 1.12% increase in power generation compared to Scenario 1.
[0404] like Figure 4 As shown in (d), XEF-based DR exhibits the dual effects of Scenario 2 and Scenario 3. Specifically, XEF-based DR will cause a load "peak shaving and valley filling" effect during periods of high renewable energy unit penetration, such as 9:00-15:00, and may cause even higher peak loads during peak load periods (17:00-20:00) when thermal power unit penetration is high. Therefore, the final operating condition of the units in XEF-based DR depends on the difference between the effects of Scenario 1 and Scenario 2, and the final power generation is basically unchanged compared to Scenario 1.
[0405] Figure 5This paper comprehensively summarizes the changes in load curves under different demand response schemes. The original load curves exhibit typical peak and valley periods. The peak-valley difference rate is used to quantify the implementation effect of different demand response schemes. As previously analyzed, Price-based DR has a significant peak-shaving and valley-filling effect, with the peak-valley difference rate decreasing by 7.08% compared to Scenario 1. Scenario 3 and Scenario 4 both improve the peak-valley difference rate by 6.41%, meaning that the load curves at this time have higher peak values and lower peak-valley values. However, it is worth noting that Scenario 4 increases the load by an average of 232.68MW during some valley periods (9:00-15:00) to achieve a compromise between Scenario 2 and Scenario 3.
[0406] This embodiment also summarizes the overall impact of different demand response schemes on market operation under the electric-carbon coupling scenario, as shown in Table 3.
[0407] Table 3 Comparison of Market Operations under Different Demand Response Schemes
[0408]
[0409] Note: The percentages in parentheses in the table represent the growth rate of the current scenario relative to the baseline scenario.
[0410] As shown in Table 3, compared to Scenario 1, Price-based DR reduces both market clearing price and system cost, but increases carbon emissions by 3.32% and significantly reduces unit profitability. MEF-based DR is the complete opposite, increasing total system cost by 1.49% while reducing carbon emissions by 0.79%, with slight increases in market price and unit profitability. XEF-based DR continues to strike a balance between the two, with no significant changes in carbon emissions and system cost, but reducing market electricity price and unit profitability by 2.99% and 6.49% respectively, meaning users may need to bear lower electricity costs.
[0411] These results correspond to the aforementioned unit portfolio and timing of operation. According to the market clearing principle of electricity-carbon coupling, gas-fired units, which have higher marginal costs but are cleaner, will be dispatched after coal-fired units. This results in the clearing order of units being unrelated to emissions factors. In this example system, marginal gas-fired units such as Gen7 determine the electricity price level during peak load periods, while marginal coal-fired units such as Gen6 determine the electricity price level during off-peak periods. Therefore, the price curve and load curve trend in the same direction, but the MEF curve trends in the opposite direction. When Price-based DR is implemented, the peak-shaving and valley-filling effect eliminates investment in gas-fired units during peak load periods, while the transferred peak load is balanced by higher-emission coal-fired units, resulting in reduced power generation. Therefore, Price-based DR will lower market electricity prices, reduce costs, but increase carbon emissions. When MEF-based DR is implemented, the market operation is completely opposite. The load aggregated during peak load periods will lead to the construction of more gas-fired units and more power generation, while XEF-based DR, as a compromise, always results in a market operation outcome between the two.
[0412] It can be observed that:
[0413] (1) Under the scenario of electric carbon coupling, the impact of demand response schemes based on different stimuli on load transfer varies greatly. Price-based DR has the effect of peak shaving and valley filling, but MEF-based DR will lead to higher peak loads.
[0414] (2) In the scenario of electricity-carbon coupling, demand response schemes based on different stimulus drivers affect market operation by changing the marginal unit portfolio and reshaping the operating status of almost all units. Price-based DR and MEF-based DR have incompatible trade-offs between cost and emissions.
[0415] (3) XEF-based DR can be regarded as a compromise between Price-based DR and MEF-based DR. Its implementation effect is between the two in terms of load transfer, unit investment and operation, and economic environment impact.
[0416] (4) The above conclusions are robust until the value performance of units, especially marginal units, is fully correlated with emission factors, due to the clearing rules coupled to the carbon electricity market.
[0417] This embodiment also discusses the impact of dynamic carbon emission characteristics of the unit. As a comparison with the dynamic carbon emission scenario, this embodiment sets the unit carbon emission parameters to static during model operation, while keeping other parameter settings unchanged. Table 4 shows the market operation performance of different demand response schemes under the static carbon emission factor.
[0418] Table 4. Comparison of Market Operations under Different Demand Response Schemes (Static Emission Factors)
[0419]
[0420] Note: The percentages in parentheses in the table represent the growth rate of the current scenario relative to its dynamic scenario.
[0421] Observations show that market operation is similar to the dynamic scenario in terms of both cost and emissions. Scenario 4 continues to achieve a compromise between Scenario 2 and Scenario 3, indicating that the unit portfolio and dispatch operation mode are similar to the dynamic scenario under the static carbon emission factor scenario. However, due to the switching of unit emission characteristics, the impact of different demand response schemes on the electricity market varies significantly. Specifically, compared to the dynamic carbon emission intensity scenario (DCEI), the static carbon emission intensity scenario (SCEI) increases market prices, system costs, and unit profitability by an average of 6.67%, 3.21%, and 7.74%, respectively, but also increases carbon emissions by an average of 0.41%, with the most significant increase in Scenario 1, reaching a growth rate of 2.03%. It is worth noting that the average investment cost decreased by -0.38% across all scenarios.
[0422] To better explain the changes in the above market operating parameters, Figure 6 This paper summarizes the impact of static emission factors on different demand response schemes from the perspective of unit portfolio and operation. Scenario 1 is used as an example. Figure 6 (a) For example, the Static Emission Intensity Scenario (SCEI) causes the investment and load of gas turbine Gen9 units to be entirely transferred to coal-fired power units Gen6. Since the ability to reduce the real-time dynamic carbon emission factor by increasing power load is ignored, the overall cost of Gen9 is no longer advantageous compared to Gen6. Figure 7 This further demonstrates the impact of DCEI on the marginal carbon emissions of generating units. Meanwhile, due to the inflexibility of fixed marginal carbon costs, more power generation will no longer lead to lower operating costs, and the market will tend to limit unnecessary investment in generating units and power generation, thus reducing the activity of independent energy storage units. Calculations show that the market installed capacity decreased by 115MW, and the total system power generation decreased by 1760MWh, corresponding to a reduction in IES discharge during peak load periods. The decrease in installed capacity and the shift of load to higher carbon emission units resulted in lower investment costs but increased carbon emissions. On the other hand, the Static Emission Intensity Scenario (SCEI) increases market prices and operating costs, which is related to the transmission of more carbon costs. The carbon cost transmission rate is calculated using equation (57):
[0423] τ c =(λ c -λ a )÷pr c ×100% (57)
[0424] Where, τ c λ represents the carbon cost transmission rate. c λ represents the market price with a carbon market. a This indicates the market price without a carbon market.
[0425] It can be observed that the carbon cost transmission rate of scenarios 1-4 is 10.14% higher on average than that of the dynamic scenarios.
[0426] Similar patterns can also be found in scenarios 2-4, such as... Figure 6 bd, more load is shifting to units that are more advantageous under the static scenario, while the activity of energy storage decreases, indicating the universality of the Static Carbon Intensity Scenario (SCEI). For example, in Figure 6 In scenario b, the 883MW of power from Gen6 is more advantageous under the Static Emission Intensity Scenario (SCEI) than under Gen2 and Gen3. It is noteworthy that the investment and load shifts caused by the SCEI under different demand response schemes are not robust to unit profitability and carbon emissions. For example, scenarios 1 and 3 reduce unit profitability, while scenarios 2 and 4 have the opposite effect, indicating the uncertainty of the SCEI effect.
[0427] It can be observed that:
[0428] (1) The impact of different demand response methods on the electricity market under the static carbon emission intensity scenario (SCEI) is universal, but the degree of impact varies significantly, manifesting as higher costs and emissions in this regional system.
[0429] (2) The Static Emission Intensity Scenario (SCEI) specifically affects market investment and operation by ignoring the dynamic emission characteristics of generating units. Ignoring these effects may prevent decision-makers from seeing the true situation and leading to erroneous decisions. On the one hand, SCEI inhibits investment and operation of units with dynamic advantages rather than static advantages, potentially shifting investment and power generation to units with higher carbon emissions, thus triggering carbon emission risks. On the other hand, the inflexibility of marginal costs of generating units under SCEI may limit system power generation and installed capacity, and reduce the activity of independent energy storage (IES) devices. Finally, SCEI may pass on more ineffective carbon costs to the market, potentially increasing system operating costs and causing uncertainty in industry profits.
[0430] like Figure 7As shown, Dynamic Emission Intensity Scenario (DCEI) allows units to flexibly adjust their pricing by changing their output to gain greater competitiveness. However, with the application of Static Emission Intensity Scenario (SCEI), the marginal carbon cost of a unit becomes a fixed value. Units with relatively strong dynamic performance may lose competitiveness in the market, and their investment and power generation performance will be reshaped by units that are more advantageous under SCEI. For example, if a 600MW load is needed at a certain time, Gen3 is more advantageous than Gen2 under DCEI, but it is no longer advantageous under SCEI, and the load will be shifted.
[0431] This embodiment also discusses the potential impact of carbon market coupling strength on the effectiveness of demand response implementation. Carbon markets typically alter the coupling strength with the electricity market by regulating emission benchmarks for thermal power units and carbon prices. As energy transition progresses, future carbon prices will gradually rise above 900 yuan, and emission benchmarks for thermal power units will continue to tighten, leading to a continuous increase in coupling strength. Table 5 provides a detailed simulation of this process using 10 scenarios (C1-C10), where C1 represents the current carbon market situation.
[0432] Table 5 Scenario Setting for Carbon Market Coupling Strength
[0433]
[0434] This embodiment comprehensively evaluates the impact of carbon market coupling strength on the effectiveness of different demand response schemes, such as market prices, carbon emissions, system costs, and unit profitability, and other market operating parameters. Figure 8 As shown, all curves generally go through three typical stages: a plateau period, a period of change, and a convergence period, but the duration of each stage varies. With increasing coupling strength, price-based DR can ultimately achieve a unified goal of reducing carbon emissions, lowering system costs, and improving unit profitability while ensuring that market prices do not fluctuate significantly. This may suggest that the order in which units exit the power market is decoupled from their performance is becoming directly related to emissions, influenced by the increasing coupling strength of the carbon market. Figure 9The correlation coefficient trends calculated under different carbon market coupling intensities validate this observation. This trend will lead to more carbon-intensive units being moved to the margins of power supply, where they can then be replaced by Price-based DR, thus enhancing the overall benefits of Price-based DR implementation. However, the carbon emission reduction and unit profitability improvement effects of MEF-based DR and XEF-based DR will gradually decrease, while system costs will not decrease significantly during the intensity increase period, potentially indicating limitations in the scope of MEF-based DR and XEF-based DR implementation. But this process is gradual, and the curves will undergo multiple changes and even reverse fluctuations.
[0435] It can be observed that:
[0436] The strength of carbon market coupling significantly impacts the effectiveness of different demand response schemes. It improves the effectiveness of PBDRs by enhancing the correlation between marginal costs and emissions in the electricity market clearing sequence, but may simultaneously limit the applicability of MBDRs and XBDRs. However, these changes are gradual and slow, not instantaneous.
[0437] Market-based demand response schemes are crucial for building sustainable power systems. They enable better control over system flexibility resources, thus contributing to more efficient, flexible, and sustainable system operation. To implement more effective market-based demand response schemes, this study proposes an extended two-stage market clearing model. It also compares and analyzes the quantitative impacts of three market-based demand response schemes—Price-based DR, MEF-based DR, and XEF-based DR—on the operation of the electricity-carbon coupling market, drawing the following important conclusions:
[0438] (1) Under the current simulation scenario, Price-based DR simultaneously reduces peak market load, electricity costs, and unit profits, but leads to higher carbon emissions. MEF-based DR is the opposite, while XEF-based DR is a compromise between the two. However, as the carbon market coupling strength increases, Price-based DR can eventually achieve multiple objectives of decarbonization, economics, and unit profitability simultaneously, while the carbon emission reduction effects of MEF-based DR and XEF-based DR will gradually decrease, limiting their application. These changes can ultimately be explained by the fact that the value performance of units in the electricity market is gradually becoming fully correlated with emissions, but this process is slow and fluctuating.
[0439] (2) Sensitivity analysis of the dynamic emission characteristics of generating units shows that ignoring the dynamic carbon emission characteristics of generating units in the electricity-carbon coupling market may affect the global optimality of demand-side flexible resource scheduling. On the one hand, ignoring this will reduce the economic efficiency of market operation and weaken the activity of energy storage units. On the other hand, a lack of understanding of dynamic carbon emission factors may lead to erroneous investments, triggering carbon emission risks and uncertainty in unit profitability.
[0440] It is evident that the effectiveness of demand response schemes is closely related to the coupling strength with the carbon market and the market planning and dispatching mechanism. The construction of a sustainable power system should make greater efforts to optimize the deployment of market-based demand response schemes and achieve better demand-side flexibility resource management. Therefore, the following recommendations are proposed:
[0441] (1) Steadily advance the reform of the electricity market and the construction of a carbon quota allocation mechanism. From a fundamental and long-term perspective, only when the construction of the electricity market and the regulation of reasonable emission benchmarks are coordinated to unify the market clearing sequence of generating units with the emission sequence, making their costs related to emissions, will carbon-intensive generating units be completely transferred to the margin of supply and replaced by price-based DR, thereby simultaneously achieving multiple objectives. However, this process is lengthy and volatile, which also explains the current instability in the assessment of the environmental benefits of demand response.
[0442] (2) Dynamic emission characteristics of generating units should be considered in electricity market planning and dispatching. Dynamic emission characteristics allow thermal power units to flexibly participate in the coupled market by adjusting their output, enhancing the market activity of energy storage units while reducing market carbon emission risks and improving economic efficiency. Therefore, it is recommended that dynamic emission characteristics of generating units be considered in market planning and dispatching to maximize the global optimality of demand-side flexible resource dispatching.
[0443] (3) Strengthen the digitalization of the power system and establish reliable and stable two-way communication capabilities between the market and the demand side. The implementation of market-based demand response schemes relies on real-time communication transmission and information feedback, such as market prices, carbon emission factor releases, and load adjustment feedback. It is recommended to strengthen the development of smart grids and communication infrastructure to ensure that two-way communication is always available.
[0444] This invention establishes a unified analytical framework for demand response under the coupling of the electricity carbon market and designs a two-stage clearing model for real-time coupling of electricity carbon with integrated demand response procedures. Corresponding to real-world scenarios, it first quantifies the cross-market transmission and coupling strength of carbon costs, clarifies the ways in which emerging players participate in the market, and uses regression functions to quantitatively express the dynamic emission characteristics of generating units. Secondly, based on the market clearing model, it extends the model to consider how different demand response schemes affect the objectives and constraints of market operation. Finally, to improve solution efficiency, the model is transformed into a mixed-integer linear programming problem. Using real-world data, three typical market-based demand response schemes—Price-based DR, MEF-based DR, and XEF-based DR—are simulated and compared. The comparison results are multifaceted, involving market investment and operation, peak-valley ratio, cost, and emissions. We found that different demand response schemes have significantly different impacts on coupled market operation, and there are incompatible trade-offs between market operation parameters such as cost and emissions. Simultaneously, a sensitivity analysis experiment was designed to clarify the impact of dynamic emission characteristics of generating units and the coupling strength of the carbon market on the effectiveness of demand response implementation, providing support for guiding demand response implementation. This invention avoids the "black box" drawbacks of using macroscopic parameters to study the impact of demand response. The method presented in this invention comprehensively reveals the internal flows of power generation, emissions, and economic variables in the market under the influence of demand response, elucidating the impact of demand response on market operation from a bottom-up perspective and providing policymakers with more realistic information. Furthermore, this invention theoretically analyzes how demand response interacts with the market under an electricity-carbon coupling scenario, and simultaneously compares different market-based demand response schemes. The established general model may pave the way for many future directions, such as energy storage dispatch and policy simulation.
