Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of integrated energy system optimization scheduling, specifically an integrated energy system scheduling method that considers carbon footprint and market incentives. Background Technology
[0002] Integrated energy systems (IES), characterized by multi-energy complementarity and flexible dispatch, have become an important carrier for the transformation of the energy structure towards green and low-carbon development. However, how to achieve accurate measurement of carbon emissions throughout the entire process of integrated energy systems has become an urgent issue to be studied in the context of low-carbon development.
[0003] Existing studies use the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method to quantify and trace the carbon footprint of a system. However, the average carbon emission factor obtained by the LCA method cannot meet the spatiotemporal heterogeneity of carbon emissions, and most studies have established IES carbon emission models that do not take into account the carbon emissions generated by external energy purchases, thus failing to fully measure the carbon emissions of the system.
[0004] Accurate quantification of carbon emissions at energy input sources is a prerequisite for accurate assessment of system-wide carbon emissions; therefore, the carbon emission characteristics of source-side power generation units must be considered. Existing research utilizes fluid dynamics theory to construct mathematical models of coal-fired power boilers, forming carbon emission factor calculation models that integrate the effects of coal type and carbon oxidation rate by considering changes in carbon and sulfur oxidation rates. Other studies employ linearized models to describe turbine heat rates and analyze the unit's carbon emission characteristics; alternatively, they treat the carbon emission factors of source-side power generation units as fixed values and include them in the system's carbon emission accounting framework to achieve low-carbon economic dispatch for the Energy System Engineering (IES). However, traditional source-side power generation units have a large output adjustment range to smooth load fluctuations, resulting in significant differences in carbon emission factors under low-load conditions. Traditional linear carbon emission factor models are insufficient to reflect the actual situation and cannot provide a reliable basis for system carbon accounting.
[0005] Furthermore, based on accurate carbon metering and accounting, energy user participation in carbon trading is an effective means to promote energy structure optimization and achieve energy conservation and emission reduction in energy systems (IES). Some studies have used energy-carbon interaction pricing to guide the response of electricity-gas-heat IES users, effectively improving the level of new energy consumption and the low-carbon economy of the system. Other studies have analyzed the emission reduction mechanism of green certificates and constructed an IES low-carbon economic dispatch model with a joint green certificate-carbon trading mechanism, enabling the system to further reduce carbon emissions while obtaining green certificate benefits. These studies use dynamic electricity prices or carbon prices as carbon reduction incentives, but obtaining real-time price signals is difficult under my country's current market system. The Chinese certified emission reduction (CCER) trading mechanism has become an important supplement to my country's carbon quota market, further broadening emission reduction pathways. Some studies share the benefits obtained from CCER projects with thermal power units, compensating for their deep peak-shaving costs and promoting the multi-path transformation of coal-fired power generation projects. Some studies have also explored the carbon reduction benefits of demand response in power system dispatch based on life cycle carbon emission assessment methods combined with the CCER mechanism, but there are shortcomings in the spatiotemporal resolution of carbon emission metering.

[0027] Energy storage devices, as a special type of energy regulation unit, have two states: energy storage and energy release. In energy storage mode, they act as a load, absorbing some carbon emissions; in energy release mode, they act as a power supply device, releasing some carbon emissions. Analogous to the state of charge of electrical energy storage, the exogenous carbon footprint per unit of energy consumption of an energy storage device is characterized as the ratio of the accumulated carbon flux to the remaining electrical energy. In energy storage mode, the exogenous carbon footprint model of an energy storage device is as follows: (11) In the formula: for Carbon emissions from charging energy storage devices during specific time periods; for Charging power of time-limited energy storage devices; In energy storage state The nodal carbon potential at the output of the time-of-use energy storage device.

[0032] 1.6 Calculate the carbon footprint generated per unit of energy consumption for various load types, and characterize it using load carbon emission intensity; Based on the carbon emission flow theory, the carbon footprint generated per unit of energy consumption of various loads is equal to the carbon potential of the energy transmission network nodes connected to its nodes. Therefore, the carbon emission intensity of a load can be expressed as: (17) In the formula, for Time period Carbon emission intensity of load type for Time period Carbon potential of nodes in energy transmission networks; Ultimately, the carbon footprint of the entire IES process is expressed as: (18) In the formula, For the entire carbon footprint of IES, for Time period Energy consumption after load demand response For the number of load types, The scheduling period is [number].

Constructing a tiered pricing CCER market mechanism can not only provide precise incentives for clean energy emission reduction behavior on the source side, but also drive load-side users to participate in low-carbon demand response.
[0035] 2.1 CCERs obtained by wind and solar power projects The grid baseline emission factor is a core parameter for quantitatively verifying the carbon dioxide emission reduction benefits of clean energy projects. Based on the dynamically updated marginal emission factors of regional power grids published by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment of my country, the grid baseline emission factor is obtained as follows: (20) In the formula: , and These are the grid baseline emission factor, the electricity marginal emission factor, and the capacity marginal emission factor, respectively. and These are the weights of the marginal emission factor for electricity and the marginal emission factor for capacity, respectively.

[0037] 2.3 Tiered CCER Revenue Model The tiered CCER unit price refers to dividing the salable CCERs into multiple ranges and calculating the unit price. The more CCERs the system obtains through wind and solar power projects or low-carbon demand response, the higher the CCER unit price, and the greater the CCER revenue the system receives. The tiered CCER revenue model is as follows: (twenty three) In the formula, For IES projects CCER revenue obtained Indicates wind and solar power generation projects.

For the project CCER obtained; The length of the CCER interval; The price increase for CCERs is tiered; for each tier increase, the unit price of CCERs increases. ; CCERs are used to offset part of the system's carbon quota.
[0038] Step 3: Construct an upper-level integrated energy operator scheduling model and a lower-level load aggregator scheduling model; 3.1 Upper-level integrated energy operator dispatch model If the upper-level integrated energy operator aims to optimize the economic efficiency of IES operation, then the objective function of the upper-level integrated energy operator's scheduling model is: (twenty four) In the formula: The total operating cost for the upper-level integrated energy operator; for IES energy purchase cost during the period; for IES equipment operation and maintenance costs during the period; for The cost of wind and solar power curtailment during specific time periods; for IES carbon trading costs for different time periods; This refers to the CCER revenue obtained by IES through wind and solar power projects.

[0040] The constraints of the upper-level integrated energy operator dispatch model include power balance constraints, output and ramp-up constraints of energy conversion equipment, power flow constraints of energy transmission network, and operation constraints of energy storage equipment. These are all basic constraints and will not be elaborated here.
[0041] 3.2 Lower-level load aggregator scheduling model The lower-level load aggregator aims to minimize overall costs. To reduce deviations in user energy consumption behavior during demand response, a utility function is used to represent user requirements for energy comfort. Therefore, the objective function of the lower-level load aggregator scheduling model is: (29) (30) (31) In the formula: The overall cost for the lower-level load aggregator; for Energy costs for users during specific time periods; CCER revenue obtained from low-carbon demand response to loads; for Time-based user utility function; Energy price for load; , For users' consumption The preference coefficient for similar loads.
[0042] The lower-level load aggregator scheduling model must satisfy the load demand response constraint: (32) (33) (34) (35) In the formula: , They are respectively Time period The status variables for load demand response transition in and out are 0-1 variables; , These are the maximum values of the load demand response; This represents the maximum value of the total load demand response within the scheduling cycle.
[0043] Step 4: Alternately and iteratively solve the upper-level integrated energy operator scheduling model and the lower-level load aggregator scheduling model to achieve IES low-carbon economic scheduling; The upper-level integrated energy operator receives the energy consumption after responding to the load demand feedback from the user side. Subsequently, the power injected into the public energy network was adjusted. and Total output power of energy conversion equipment Power generation of wind and solar turbines to the grid Update the transmission power of each network branch within the IES, and thus update the load carbon emission intensity. And feed it back to the lower-level load aggregator; Lower-level load aggregators based on load carbon emission intensity To guide demand response under the incentive of the CCER market mechanism with tiered pricing, and to meet user utility needs. Minimize user energy costs under the premise of and IES full-process carbon footprint And the energy used after load demand response The data is then fed back to the upper-level integrated energy operator; through iterative optimization at both the upper and lower levels, the model convergence condition is met.

MATLAB programming and the GUROBI solver are used to solve the model. The scheduling cycle is 24 hours, and the time interval is 1 hour. Parameter settings are shown in Tables 1 and 2, and typical daily wind and solar power generation and load power prediction curves are shown in Tables 1 and 2. Figure 4 .
[0046] Table 1 System Parameters
[0047] Table 2 Parameters of Source-Side Power Generation Units and Energy Conversion Equipment
[0048] The dynamic carbon emission factors of source-side generating units were fitted using piecewise regression, and the fitted curve is shown below. Figure 5 As shown. By Figure 5 It is evident that the piecewise regression method can fit the dynamic changes in the actual carbon emission factor of the source-side power generation units with a relatively small error. At lower power output stages, due to incomplete combustion, more fuel is required per unit of capacity, and since carbon emission levels are inversely proportional to thermal power, more carbon emissions are generated. As the power output of the source-side power generation units increases, the carbon emission factor gradually decreases until it stabilizes.
[0049] Considering the dynamic carbon emission factors of source-side power units, the IES carbon emissions are calculated using a full-process carbon footprint measurement method. Taking the low-load period of 1:00 and the high-load period of 11:00 as examples, the IES carbon footprint distribution results are as follows: Figure 6 , 7 As shown.
[0050] Based on the dynamic carbon emission factors of source-side generating units and the precise quantification of source-side carbon emissions at different time periods, the system input carbon flow rate at 1:00 was 1527.32 kgCO2 / h. The carbon footprint of wind turbines operating at peak output, measured using the life cycle method, was 14.15 kgCO2 / h. The carbon flow rate near node 14 was relatively low, reducing the overall carbon emission intensity of the system. Electric energy storage devices charging at this time effectively diluted the existing high-carbon energy with low-carbon electricity, thus reducing their own carbon flow density, which was precisely characterized as 10.68 kgCO2 / h using the carbon flow model and life cycle method. Electric boilers converted excess electricity into heat, generating a carbon footprint of 148.32 kgCO2 / h, achieving flexible resource utilization. As energy load increased, the output of source-side generating units increased at 11:00, and the system input carbon flow rate rose to 2630.75 kgCO2 / h. The carbon footprints of wind and solar power units, measured using the life cycle method, are 6.69 kgCO2 / h and 22.13 kgCO2 / h, respectively. At this time, the electrolyzer converts excess electrical energy into hydrogen energy, which is then used to produce natural gas through a methane reactor combined with carbon storage equipment, achieving multi-energy complementarity. Figure 6 , 7 The carbon footprint of the entire process of "source-grid-load-storage" in the China IES is clearly and completely distributed in spatial dimensions, providing a reliable data foundation for analyzing changes in flexible resource scheduling in the system and formulating low-carbon scheduling strategies.
[0051] Based on a clear understanding of the complete and precise distribution characteristics of the IES's carbon footprint throughout the entire process, a tiered CCER market mechanism is introduced to incentivize IES energy users to implement low-carbon demand response. The power distribution before demand response is as follows: Figure 8 As shown, the carbon emission factors at different times before demand response and the loads before and after demand response are as follows: Figure 9 As shown.
[0052] Due to the relatively low installed capacity of wind power, the carbon emission factor is mainly affected by the source-side power generation units and remains relatively high. Between 6:00 and 15:00, in addition to meeting the electricity load demand, some electricity from power generation units flows into energy storage or supplies gas load through power-to-gas equipment. The output of high-carbon units adjusts synchronously with load changes, resulting in a trend of first increasing and then decreasing the system's carbon emission factor. Between 10:00 and 14:00, the output of photovoltaic units mitigates the adjustment range of high-carbon units, keeping the carbon emission factor relatively stable within the range of 0.54-0.61 kgCO2 / kWh. Between 16:00 and 21:00, with the gradual increase in wind power penetration and the discharge of energy storage, although the electricity load increases, the output of high-carbon units is suppressed, and the carbon emission factor continues to decline. Between 00:00 and 5:00 and between 22:00 and 24:00, the electricity load is at its lowest point, and the wind power penetration rate is high, causing the system's carbon emission factor to drop to a lower level within the day. After the load demand response, the load peak-valley difference was reduced by 570.02 kW, the system carbon emissions decreased by 3.16%, and the load-side carbon footprint became controllable and optimized.
[0053] Table 3 IES Low-Carbon Demand Response Optimization Scheduling Results
[0054] By combining the tiered CCER market incentives for IES energy users to implement low-carbon demand response, the overall optimized scheduling results after low-carbon demand response are shown in Table 3. The system's carbon emissions were reduced by 3715.05 kg, or 6.27%, and the total cost was reduced by 7443.77 yuan, or 10.48%, effectively improving the low-carbon economics of IES operation.
