At the beginning of each year, carbon quotas will be pre-allocated based on 70% of the power supply of each power generation unit in the previous year; and at the end of the year, after the verification of the annual carbon emission data is fully completed, the quota will be finally verified and adjusted based on the actual power supply.

[0140] S2. Based on non-cooperative game theory, the Nash equilibrium point of the double-layer coupled trading model is calculated, and the optimal strategy of the virtual power plant and the electric carbon market at the Nash equilibrium point is determined.

[0141] Among them, the Nash equilibrium point is solved according to the model and non-cooperative game theory; in the electricity and carbon emission rights trading market, the profit objective functions of various power generation companies are interrelated. Based on the previously constructed model, a game model (double-layer coupling trading model) is now constructed to describe the competitive behavior of these power generation companies in the electricity carbon market. In this game model, the goal of the participants (i.e., virtual power plants and electricity carbon markets) is to find a strategy combination, namely the Nash equilibrium, which is considered to be their optimal strategy in the market game.

[0142] The technical solution of this embodiment focuses on the coupled transaction decision-making problem of virtual power plants participating in the electricity-carbon market. This embodiment establishes a non-cooperative game model for virtual power plants to participate in the electricity-carbon market. The upper layer is the profit model of virtual power plants, wind and solar power generators, and conventional coal-fired power generators. The lower layer model is the electricity-carbon market clearing model, and the diagonalization method is used to solve the Nash equilibrium solution. Virtual power plants can increase their own clearing volume through coupled transactions in the electricity-carbon market, compress the clearing volume of conventional coal-fired power, and indirectly improve the welfare of the entire society. The technical solution of this embodiment can maximize the profits of virtual power plants and power generators while ensuring that the two-layer coupled transactions of virtual power plants participating in the electricity-carbon market are more stable.
