Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of carbon emission technology, and in particular to a method and device for measuring electric power carbon emission flow based on edge collaboration. Background Art
[0002] In the context of global climate change response, the power system, as a key area of carbon emissions, has attracted widespread attention for its carbon emissions measurement and management. With the development of a low-carbon economy and green energy technologies, scientifically measuring and managing carbon emissions has become a key challenge for energy management and environmental protection. In cities, industrial parks, and industrial zones, the need for accurate and real-time monitoring and management of energy consumption and carbon emissions is becoming increasingly urgent.
[0003] my country has published a variety of fixed electricity carbon emission factors, but these factors struggle to reflect the temporal and spatial variations in the large-scale integration of renewable energy, and their effectiveness in guiding carbon reduction is insufficient. Furthermore, my country's vast territory and vast differences in resource endowments across provinces make the national average factor inadequate to reflect the spatial distribution of electricity carbon emissions.
[0004] Current power system carbon emission measurement relies primarily on estimating overall grid-side carbon emission factors or carbon emission flow models based on traditional power flow analysis. These methods typically only consider the carbon emission intensity of the power generation side, without deeply tracking the dynamic carbon emission contributions of each node and branch during the power transmission process. Furthermore, existing technologies lack detailed modeling of the interactive carbon emission characteristics of distributed energy resources (such as distributed photovoltaics, energy storage, and charging stations). This makes it difficult to achieve real-time and accurate carbon emission responsibility allocation, especially in complex campus-level energy systems.
[0005] Through analysis of existing technologies, it is found that there are the following technical problems that need to be solved urgently: 1. Insufficient spatiotemporal resolution. Existing accounting methods based on fixed electricity carbon factors cannot reflect the temporal variability caused by fluctuations in renewable energy output. Research shows that electricity carbon emissions calculated using annual factors can have deviations of up to 35%. Furthermore, a unified national factor fails to capture the spatial distribution of carbon emissions due to differences in energy mix between eastern and western power grids, leading to systematic errors in park-level carbon responsibility allocation.
[0006] 2. Lack of dynamic tracking capabilities. Existing power flow analysis models have significant limitations when dealing with distributed energy systems. They do not consider the impact of bidirectional power flows of distributed photovoltaic, energy storage and other equipment on the carbon flow path; they lack modeling of the interactive characteristics of carbon emissions from new elements such as electric vehicle charging piles and flexible loads, resulting in distorted node carbon flow calculations; and they rely on offline simulation calculations, making it impossible to achieve real-time carbon flow tracking at the minute level.
[0007] 3. The edge-end collaboration mechanism is weak, the centralized data processing platform has inherent defects, and data collection relies on periodic uploads (which makes it difficult to meet the needs of real-time carbon flow tracking). The computing power of edge devices is not effectively utilized, resulting in bandwidth pressure and processing delays caused by massive data uploads. The "cloud-edge-end" collaborative computing framework has not been established, and it cannot adapt to the distributed architecture characteristics of the park-level energy Internet.
[0008] 4. The carbon responsibility allocation mechanism is unscientific. Existing technologies lack the ability to trace carbon responsibility at multiple time scales and fail to distinguish between the dynamic carbon contribution differences between baseload power sources and peak-shaving power sources, resulting in unclear attribution of carbon emissions in the transmission and distribution links.
[0009] In view of this, the present invention is proposed to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Invention

Edge devices include electricity carbon meters, smart meters, and inverters. Step 2: Intelligent terminal processing and refined management. The software platform processes the collected data, analyzes the operating characteristics of the distributed photovoltaic power generation and energy storage system (power output, charge and discharge efficiency, and state of charge (SOC)), optimizes management based on carbon emission intensity, and calculates the carbon potential of each node. Based on the principle of carbon emission flow, for a given power system, the system grid structure connectivity, the number of generator units, and their carbon emission intensity are determined, and the node carbon potential of the generator is also determined. The network node connectivity can be further inferred from the node carbon potential of the nodes connected to the generator, and then the node carbon potential of the entire network. Based on this, the carbon emission flow density of each branch in the network is derived, and the carbon flow rate of each branch is calculated based on the known system power flow.
[0027] Step 3: Edge collaboration and carbon emission sharing. The data terminal uploads the carbon potential of each node to the electricity carbon meter. The electricity carbon meter calculates the carbon emissions based on the real-time load data of the node, and then uploads all calculated carbon emissions to the software platform for in-depth analysis. The carbon emission responsibility is shared based on the actual energy consumption situation, and finally the node carbon factor (kgCO2 / kWh) related data of each node in the park is generated.
[0028] In the above solution, power data from each node in the park is collected in real time through edge devices, and combined with power system flow analysis, accurate carbon emission flow is calculated.
