Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the field of low-carbon distribution network and power system, and particularly relates to a low-carbon demand response method based on adjustable carbon emission factors. BACKGROUND
[0002] To achieve the "double carbon" goal and promote the low-carbon operation of the power system, it is necessary to effectively guide users to participate in low-carbon electricity consumption. The current carbon accounting method based on the node carbon potential factor (NCEF) has problems such as lack of fairness and complex calculation, which is difficult to adapt to the environment of high proportion of distributed energy access to the distribution network. At the same time, under the current time-of-use electricity price guidance, there is an uncoordinated contradiction between the carbon reduction benefit and the electricity cost of users. For example, at the time when the carbon emission factor is high at night, but it is at the valley of electricity price, from the perspective of electricity economy, a large amount of load will be transferred to the evening, so relying on the node carbon potential to guide the reduction of load to achieve low-carbon benefit is much smaller than the electricity cost at this time.
[0003] To improve the fairness and response efficiency of carbon responsibility allocation, some studies have proposed improved methods such as average carbon emission factor and electricity-carbon ratio. However, in the distribution network with energy storage, the average carbon emission factor method simplifies the accounting but blurs the carbon responsibility difference between users - users may charge during low-carbon periods, but need to bear the average cost during high-carbon periods, which weakens the accuracy and fairness of the carbon signal guidance, and it cannot provide precise marginal incentives. The method based on the electricity-carbon ratio can clearly track the two-way carbon flow generated by the charging and discharging of energy storage, and reflect the carbon emission level of unit electricity, but its carbon factor is fixed after calculation, still lacks temporal and spatial dynamics, the incentive effect is lagging, and it is difficult to achieve dynamic incentives for the demand side. Therefore, some studies introduce the "virtual carbon storage" mechanism, which improves the adjustment flexibility of users by simulating the "storage" and "borrowing" of carbon quotas, but may bring new problems such as blurred carbon responsibility accounting boundary, uncertain long-term incentive effect, and limited system operation flexibility. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0014] In order to make the content of the application more easily understood, the application will be further described in detail below according to specific embodiments and in conjunction with the drawings.
[0015] As shown in Figure 1 , the low-carbon demand response method based on an adjustable carbon emission factor according to the application comprises the following steps: Step 1, analyze the carbon emission flow characteristics of the distribution network, based on the principle that all carbon emissions on the power generation side are borne by the load side, establish a mathematical model of an adjustable carbon emission factor based on energy storage and load; Step 2: Propose a demand response mechanism based on adjustable dynamic carbon emission factors to guide users to participate in low-carbon demand response under the time-of-use pricing framework; Step 3: Establish a low-carbon demand response load-side model, quantify the cost of insufficient electricity consumption under user-participated load adjustment, and regulate the load peak-valley difference; Step 4: Construct an objective function that optimizes the overall electricity-carbon benefits of the distribution network and the user response benefits, and establish a distribution network dispatch model based on an adjustable carbon emission factor; Step 5: Solve the objective function that optimizes the overall benefits of electricity and carbon in the distribution network and the benefits of user response, thereby optimizing the low-carbon demand response scheduling strategy and guiding loads to use electricity in a low-carbon manner.
[0016] In step 1, considering the "fairness principle" of load participation in low-carbon demand response node locations, a dynamic carbon emission factor method is adopted to accurately calculate the carbon emissions borne by the load side at any given time, i.e.: (1), In the formula, This represents the average carbon emission factor value of all load nodes at time t; This represents the load power value at node i at time t, and N represents the number of nodes in the distribution network; This represents the total carbon emissions borne by the load side at time t.
[0017] When the distribution network purchases electricity solely from the main grid to meet the load power demand, then The carbon emission factor is equal to the average carbon emission factor of the main grid. However, the current distribution network widely integrates renewable energy generation units and distributed power sources such as energy storage. To accurately calculate the carbon emissions of the load, it is necessary to determine the carbon emission factor of the load node. The value of is closely coupled with the power flow. Given a fixed power flow, ... It is a fixed value, which limits the guiding role of dynamic carbon emission factors on the demand side under the current time-of-use pricing mechanism. For example, during the off-peak electricity price period at night, which is actually a high-carbon emission time, a large amount of load will be adjusted to this time, which will aggravate the carbon emissions of the distribution network. If the distribution network will... If the carbon emission factor is lowered, the carbon emissions will decrease compared to a fixed average carbon emission factor. In this case, the corresponding electricity price should be increased to inhibit the shift of load to high-carbon periods. Therefore, establishing a universal dynamic carbon emission factor suitable for the distribution network can enhance the dual carbon reduction effect of both the distribution network and the load.
[0018] like Figure 2As shown, when energy storage is added to the distribution network for carbon emission responsibility division, energy storage is equivalent to load when charging, absorbing CO2 carried in current, and is equivalent to power source when discharging, releasing stored CO2, so that in the charging process, the energy storage system is a state of accumulating carbon flow, and the accumulation amount is related to the carbon potential of the node at the charging time and the charging time length. Therefore, when the energy storage is in the charging state, the carbon emission of the power generation side will be borne by the load and the energy storage together, as shown in state ① in FIG. 6. Figure 2 The power sources in the distribution network mainly include power purchase from the main grid, power generation equipment of the distribution network itself, and renewable energy power. At this time, the energy storage is regarded as a general load, and it is assumed that the carbon storage value of the energy storage at the charging time is The average carbon emission factor of the load side in this state is denoted as Therefore, there is: (2), In the formula, is the total carbon storage value of all energy storage devices in the distribution network, and the total charging power of the system at this time is The real average node carbon potential factor corresponding to all energy storage devices is Considering the "zero carbon" attribute of the renewable power generation unit, the total carbon emission value is Assuming that the average carbon emission factor of the energy storage is The average carbon emission factor of the load side can be calculated by formula (2) as follows: (3), In actual operation may be greater than or less than the real value, but no matter is greater than or less than the real value, in any case, the carbon emission at the current time is borne by the energy storage and the load together.
[0019] Assuming , as shown in (a) of FIG. 7, the current calculated carbon storage of the energy storage is greater than the actual carbon storage, and the carbon storage at this time is denoted as Figure 3 (4), Based on the principle of constant total carbon, the carbon emission amount borne by the load will be smaller than the actual value, and the average carbon emission factor of the load side at the current time can be calculated by formula (1) as follows: (5), And the total carbon amount of the energy storage at the end of this time will become (6), In the formula, indicates the carbon storage value of the energy storage device at the end of the charging time Carbon storage at any given moment.
[0020] At the moment of energy storage discharge, the load side will bear the carbon released jointly by the power generation unit and the energy storage device. Due to the adjustable nature of the energy storage carbon emission factor, the calculation of the carbon emission factor corresponding to the energy storage discharge at this moment is related to the amount of carbon stored in the previous moment and the remaining electricity, that is: (7), In the formula, This represents the amount of carbon released from the stored energy at time t. , This indicates the remaining electrical charge of the energy storage device at times t and t-1. The calculated carbon storage capacity is less than the actual carbon storage capacity. Let this be the calculated carbon storage capacity. (8), If the amount of carbon stored during discharge is equal to the amount of carbon stored during charging, then the carbon content in the energy storage device will return to its initial state at the end of the discharge.
[0021] when At times, such as Figure 3 As shown in (b), the carbon emissions borne by the energy storage side are small while those borne by the load side are large. Similarly, based on the above analysis, when the calculated carbon stock of energy storage is less than the actual value, the corresponding carbon emissions during energy storage discharge will also decrease.
[0022] Extending the above analysis to the entire scheduling cycle, that is, satisfying the following throughout the entire system operation: (9); This relationship ensures both the flexibility of the carbon emission factor for energy storage and the principle of load-side carbon responsibility. Furthermore, equations (3) and (7) allow for the rapid acquisition of the average dynamic carbon emission factor corresponding to the load side, without being limited by the distribution network structure and parameters.
[0023] When the energy storage device is idle, both the carbon loading and carbon release of the energy storage are zero, and the carbon content of the distribution network still meets the principle that it is borne by the load side.
[0024] Figure 3 middle, The power of the load, The power of energy storage operation is represented by P, which indicates the power on the horizontal axis. This represents the amount of carbon emissions borne by the load at time t. t represents the amount of carbon emissions borne by energy storage at time t, and e represents the carbon emission factor on the vertical axis.
[0025] In step 2, in order to effectively motivate the load side to actively participate in low-carbon demand response, it is necessary to effectively guide users to participate in low-carbon demand response under the existing time-of-use electricity price framework to reduce the impact of the scissors difference, and to enable the user side to actively reduce electricity consumption during high-carbon periods or shift to low-carbon periods according to dynamic carbon emission factor information, and the measurable and verifiable carbon emission reduction contribution of their behavior should be substantially rewarded or compensated. The mechanism proposes an electricity-carbon coupling regulation model, as shown in Figure 4 When the time-of-use electricity price is high and the system carbon potential is low, the price is adjusted downward according to the current carbon emission factor to motivate the transferable load to gather in this period. When the carbon emission factor exceeds the threshold (such as the evening peak dominated by thermal power), the price is adjusted upward to suppress non-rigid demand and relieve the pressure on marginal coal-fired units. Through direct adjustment of the price lever, the load side is encouraged to shift electricity consumption to low-carbon periods, reducing overall carbon emissions from the demand side, achieving a positive cycle of electricity consumption behavior optimization and carbon emission reduction, and reducing the impact of the scissors difference by combining electricity price with carbon emission factor. At the same time, in order to ensure the interests of the distribution network, the reduction of electricity sales revenue caused by the reduction of electricity price needs to be compensated, so a carbon reduction revenue feedback mechanism is established: the carbon emission reduction achieved by the system through load migration is included in the carbon market transaction, and the carbon reduction revenue obtained is used to compensate for the loss caused by the reduction of electricity price, and the subsidy intensity of the user is increased, forming a benefit community of distribution network and load side for collaborative carbon reduction.
[0026] Further, step 3 includes: (1) The total cost of the load side purchasing electricity from the distribution network is: (10), wherein, is the electricity price per unit of electricity, represents the reduction of low-carbon load of the user at time t, represents the increase of load at time t; (2) When the user participates in demand response, the electricity consumption satisfaction is closely related to the expected electricity consumption and the maximum electricity consumption, for example, the expected electricity consumption of the user at time t is When , it indicates that the user is not satisfied with the current electricity consumption; when , it indicates that the user is satisfied with the current electricity consumption process; when , no dissatisfaction cost is generated; accordingly, the dissatisfaction cost of the user side is established as: (11), wherein, represents the upper limit of electricity consumption of the user at time t, is a parameter, represents the load of the user after participating in demand response, The user's desired power consumption is represented. Through modeling by formula (11), it can be clearly quantified that the user can effectively control the power dissatisfaction cost and alleviate the problem of excessive peak-valley difference of load under the participation of load adjustment.
[0027] Further, step 4 comprises: (1) The objective function and constraint condition of the power distribution network: (12), In order to ensure the safe and stable operation of the power distribution network, the application adopts Distflow optimal power flow to model the constraint condition: (13), In the formula, Pgen,i represents all generator units located at node i, including the power generation of micro gas turbines, wind turbines and photovoltaic power from the main network and the power distribution network, Pstorage,i represents the charging and discharging power of the energy storage located at node i, Pflex,i represents the flexible load power participating in demand response, including transferable load and interruptible load.
[0028] The second-order cone programming method is used to relax the quadratic nonlinear condition in the Distflow model, and the mathematical model after relaxation is: (14), (15), (16), In the formula, r ij , x ij respectively represent the resistance and reactance value of the branch between node i and node j in the power distribution network, h ij represents the square value of the current flowing through node i→j, and v i represents the square value of the voltage amplitude of node i.
[0029] (2) The safe operation constraint of each device in the operation of the power distribution network: (17), In the formula, , respectively represent the upper and lower limits of the variable to be solved.
[0030] Since the load side always bears the responsibility of all carbon emissions throughout the operation, the operation range of the adjustable carbon emission factor is subject to the actual carbon value, so in the carbon emission stage: (18), In the formula, is determined by formula (2), that is, the value corresponding to the carbon value borne by the energy storage at 0; similarly, the value of .
[0031] (3) Load side objective function: (19).
[0032] (4) Within one dispatch, the transferable load should meet the principle of constant total electricity consumption, that is: (20), wherein, , are the load transfer-in and transfer-out values of the time period t respectively; (21).
[0033] In step 5, the electric-carbon coupling demand response dispatching strategy under the adjustable carbon emission factor proposed by the application is realized in the manner of power distribution network-user, wherein the power distribution network solves the problem of maximizing electric income and carbon income, and sends the calculated optimal power distribution and the corrected electricity price to the user, and the user adjusts the load according to the electricity price to realize the benefit optimization of participating in low-carbon demand response. When the calculated load value does not need to be adjusted, it indicates that the program running is completed; and when the calculated load value of the load side still does not meet the convergence condition after adjustment, the adjusted load value is uploaded to the power distribution network until the convergence adjustment is met, and the steps are as follows, and the specific process is shown in Figure 5 .
[0034] The calculation steps of the demand response according to the adjustable carbon emission factor are as follows: Step 5-1, initialization of to-be-solved power variable , and given basic information of the power system (load power, wind turbine, photovoltaic power, electricity price, compensation coefficient, etc.); Step 5-2, kth iteration, the power distribution network performs power income maximization operation calculation based on time-of-use electricity price, and calculates the power distribution value under the condition of , that is, formula (12) as the objective function and formula (14)-(17) as the constraint, that is, Under the limitation of the objective function and the constraint condition, the optimal power flow calculated by the power distribution network only considers the cost; Step 5-3, substitute the calculated power value into formula (12) to calculate the maximum power distribution network income, and calculate the dynamic carbon emission factor under the maximum carbon income of the power distribution network, and meet the constraint conditions formula (18), (20), and obtain all node carbon potentials ; Step 5-4, substitute the node carbon potential The load side is issued to update the load amount after demand response, that is, the load adjustment amount of the constraint conditions (20) and (21) is calculated in the target function formula (19) ; Step 5-5, judging whether it is less than the accuracy requirement, if yes, the running is ended, otherwise the actual load value of the load side is updated, and the value is uploaded to the power distribution network dispatching center, and the program jumps to step 2 to repeat the calculation.
[0035] Based on the adjustable carbon emission factor, the improved IEEE 33-node power distribution network is used to analyze and verify the proposed strategy in three scenarios: Scenario 1, low-carbon demand response scheduling model under the classical carbon flow theory; Scenario 2, low-carbon demand response scheduling strategy under the adjustable carbon emission factor; Scenario 3, low-carbon demand response scheduling strategy under the adjustable carbon emission factor, considering demand response under different subsidy prices.
[0036] To verify the effectiveness of the proposed low-carbon demand response strategy based on the adjustable carbon emission factor, simulation and verification are carried out on the improved IEEE 33-node power distribution network, and the system topology is as shown in Figure 9 The power distribution network is connected to the main grid through node 1, the photovoltaic is located at node 6 with a capacity of 3MW, and the wind turbine is located at node 3 with a capacity of 2MW. The energy storage devices are connected to nodes 7, 14 and 24 with maximum charge and discharge power of 0.5MW, 0.4MW and 0.8MW respectively, and the charging efficiency is 0.95 and the discharging efficiency is 0.92. The gas turbines are located at nodes 12 and 25 with rated power of 1MW and 1.2MW respectively, and the corresponding cost coefficients are a1=0.015, b1=20, c1=100; a2=0.02, b2=35, c2=150. The running period in the simulation is set to 24 hours a day, and the time-of-use electricity price is as shown in Table 1.
[0037] Table 1 Time-of-use electricity price
[0038] The time-of-use electricity price scheme divides 24 hours a day into 5 time periods, forming a significant peak-valley price difference structure. The carbon price of the power distribution network selling carbon reduction amount to obtain income is the intermediate price index 73.65 yuan / ton given by the Fudan carbon price index in August 2025. The carbon emission intensity of the gas turbine is calculated as 0.503 tCO2 / MWh.
[0039] The flexibility of the adjustable carbon emission factor is shown by comparing the results of scenario 1 and scenario 2, and the running results of the same setting are shown in Figure 6 , which shows the change trend of key carbon indicators of the two scenarios within 24 hours. Figure 6 It can be seen from Figure 6 that the electric-carbon coupling mechanism can more flexibly adjust the node carbon potential and couple the electricity price signal to effectively guide load transfer. Scenario 2 reduces the carbon potential during the low-carbon period and cooperates with the electricity price subsidy to promote the user load to gather in the low-carbon period, and moderately increases the electricity price during the high-carbon period to suppress the demand and weaken the influence of the scissors difference between the time-of-use electricity price and the carbon emission factor. Through the adjustment, the carbon reduction benefit of the distribution network is promoted and the electricity cost of the user is reduced, and the results of the demand response are shown in Figure 7 . Scenario 2 not only reduces the total carbon emission of the distribution network by 7% and increases the benefit by 2.6%, but also reduces the electricity cost of the user by 3.87%. The method realizes accurate accounting of the carbon emission of the load side, improves the adaptability of the system to energy fluctuations and load changes, and forms a win-win pattern of collaborative emission reduction of the distribution network and the user. The present application compares the low-carbon demand response of scenarios 1 and 2, and the specific results are shown in Table 2. The dispatching strategy effectively optimizes the low-carbon target and economic benefit, and more fully excavates the emission reduction potential of the distribution network.
[0040] Table 2 Comparison of low-carbon demand response in different scenarios
[0041] Scenario 3 corrects the existing time-of-use electricity price with a dynamic carbon emission factor, increases the electricity price during the high-carbon emission factor to guide the user to reduce electricity consumption, and reduces the electricity price during the low-carbon emission factor to guide the user to increase electricity consumption, and sets different subsidy prices to evaluate the influence on demand response. With the increase of the subsidy price, the net benefit of the distribution network first increases and then decreases, the incentive is limited at low subsidy, the user participation is low, and the net benefit relies on electricity sales; high subsidy improves user participation and increases the optimal dispatching of transferable load, and the carbon benefit increases. But too high will make the net benefit decrease, as shown in Figure 8 . The electricity cost of the user decreases with the increase of the subsidy, and the electricity cost and the dissatisfaction cost decrease significantly, which reflects the incentive of the subsidy to low-carbon behavior.
[0042] The application is to explore the method of reducing carbon emissions under the current time-of-use pricing mechanism of power distribution network and load side, and proposes a low-carbon demand response scheduling strategy based on adjustable carbon emission factor, breaks the fixed proportion limit of carbon emission and power in the power distribution network, discusses the influence of price subsidy on reducing the scissors difference between the current time-of-use pricing and carbon emission factor and on demand response, and verifies the method through specific cases. The simulation results show that the method can increase the flexibility of the power distribution network participating in the carbon market and make the load side benefit from the low-carbon demand response, and also can increase the carbon income of the power distribution network and promote the active carbon reduction of the load side, and the method can break through the restriction of the scissors difference between the time-of-use pricing and the carbon emission factor.
