Based on the Monte Carlo sampling simulation method, electric vehicle driving behavior data is simulated, and an orderly charging and discharging model of electric vehicles is established in IES to describe the two-way interaction between vehicles and the network. To address the prediction uncertainties of renewable energy output and various loads in IES, a set of source-load uncertainty scenarios, including multiple typical scenarios and their distribution probabilities, is generated based on the probability distribution of prediction errors. Based on the tiered carbon trading mechanism, a total operating cost function is constructed to evaluate the economic efficiency and low carbon emissions of IES.

[0024] Similar to the daytime IES low-carbon stochastic optimization phase, the power balance constraints, energy conversion equipment operation constraints, energy storage equipment operation constraints, and network transmission power constraints in the intraday phase are basically the same as those in the daytime low-carbon operation optimization model. However, the change in time scale needs to be considered, and the time scale-related constraints need to be adjusted.

[0026] A storage medium containing computer-executable instructions, which, when executed by a computer processor, are used to implement a low-carbon operation optimization method for an integrated energy system that takes hydrogen energy utilization into account.

[0027] In this embodiment, taking an IES (Environmentally Integrated System) that couples multiple energy sources including electricity, heat, gas, and hydrogen as an example, we introduce a multi-timescale low-carbon operation optimization method for IES that takes hydrogen energy utilization into account; specifically, it includes the following steps: A schematic diagram of the IES framework for multi-energy coupling of electricity, heat, gas, and hydrogen is shown below. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the predicted electricity, heat, gas loads, and photovoltaic output are as follows: Figure 3 As shown in the figure. Photovoltaic output and various loads are set to fluctuate within 15% and 3% of their day-ahead forecasts, respectively, and follow a normal distribution with an expected value of 0 and a standard deviation of 0.15. 1000 scenarios are randomly generated to represent historical data for photovoltaic and various loads. A probability-based scenario reduction method is used to obtain 10 discrete typical scenarios and their probability distribution values ​​from these 1000 historical data samples. The main parameters of the energy conversion equipment and energy storage equipment in the IES are shown in Tables 1 and 2, respectively. Table 1 Main parameters of energy conversion equipment Table 2 Energy Storage Equipment Parameters Based on the IES model, carbon trading mechanism model, and EV orderly charge and discharge model that take into account the coupling of multiple energy sources including electricity, heat, gas, and hydrogen; considering power balance constraints, energy conversion equipment operation constraints, energy storage equipment operation constraints, network transmission power constraints, and EV capacity constraints; and also considering environmental benefits and reducing carbon dioxide emissions to construct the total operating cost function; Based on the uncertainty of source load prediction, a large number of historical scenarios are generated. Typical scenarios are obtained by using scenario reduction methods. A day-ahead stochastic optimization model is constructed. Combining the characteristic that the accuracy of data prediction increases step by step as the time scale decreases, optimization is carried out on a shorter time scale.

[0028] To verify the effectiveness of the method proposed in this invention, comparative examples are provided, in which: Option 1: IES current-day low-carbon deterministic low-carbon optimization operation model; Option 2: IES day-ahead low-carbon stochastic optimization operation model considering source-load uncertainty; Option 3: Based on Option 2, further consider the intraday timescale low-carbon optimization operation model; Table 3 shows the cost comparison results of the three options: Table 3 Comparison of scheduling results under various schemes in low-carbon operation optimization on a week-scale. As shown in Table 3, the deterministic model does not consider the uncertainties of multi-energy loads and photovoltaics in the day-ahead phase, making day-ahead decisions too risky. In the intraday phase, due to prediction errors, more corrections are needed, leading to larger fluctuations in electricity, gas, and hydrogen purchases and higher costs. The stochastic optimization model considers uncertainty and describes uncertain information more accurately, thus offering greater economic flexibility in the intraday correction phase.

[0029] Considering the refined utilization of hydrogen energy and the bidirectional interaction between EVs and the grid, IES (Enhanced Energy Storage Systems) exhibit more significant advantages and development potential compared to traditional IES. By coupling hydrogen energy into IES, ELZ (Elastic Energy Storage Zone) can convert surplus electricity in the system into hydrogen energy during peak photovoltaic output periods and store it in HS (High-Speed ​​Electricity Storage), thereby reducing resource waste and improving photovoltaic utilization efficiency. The bidirectional interaction mechanism between EVs and the grid enables flexible energy exchange between EVs and the system: charging during periods of abundant renewable energy output and feeding back electricity to the system when photovoltaic output is insufficient and system energy demand is high. This helps enhance the absorption capacity of renewable energy, reduce curtailment, maintain system supply and demand balance, effectively smooth load fluctuations, reduce peak-valley load differences, and achieve peak shaving and valley filling functions. In addition, hydrogen storage has significant advantages in long-term energy storage, indicating its broad development potential in future long-term electrical energy storage.

[0030] Analyzing Scheme 3, although the operation and maintenance costs are slightly higher than day-ahead costs, the costs of curtailment, carbon emissions, and energy purchases are significantly lower. Day-ahead and intraday coordinated optimization helps to absorb renewable energy and reduce carbon emissions. Due to the continuously decreasing time scale, the scheduling plan is more refined, thus the scheduling scheme is more in line with reality. A comparison of various costs also reveals that multi-timescale scheduling strategies can effectively ensure greater stability and safety during operation while reducing the overall energy system's scheduling costs.

[0031] Therefore, under the multi-timescale scheduling strategy framework, the system can more fully consider the uncertainties of renewable energy output and various types of loads. Through more accurate source-load forecasting information, the system can dynamically optimize unit output plans, effectively suppressing fluctuations on both the supply and demand sides. The scheduling results generated under this strategy have higher reliability and rationality, and the output plans of various operating equipment are more closely aligned with actual operating conditions, helping to improve the accuracy of unit output control and form a more refined scheduling scheme, thereby ensuring stable system operation. EVs, by adjusting their charging and discharging power, can fully leverage their rapid response and flexible adjustment capabilities, effectively mitigating forecast deviations in photovoltaic output and load on ultra-short-term timescales. This alleviates the power regulation pressure on energy storage devices and energy conversion devices in the short and even ultra-short term, improving the reliability, safety, and stability of system operation.
