Abstract

The consumption of traditional fossil energy brings inevitable environmental protection problems, which also makes the low-carbon transition in industrial development imminent. In the process of low-carbon transition, the power industry plays a very important role. However, the large-scale integration of renewable energy resources such as wind power and photovoltaic brings new characteristics to power system dispatch. How to design a dispatch strategy that considers both low-carbon demand and economic cost has become a major concern in power systems. The flexible resources such as demand response (DR) and energy storage (ES) can cooperate with these renewable energy resources, promoting the renewable energy generation and low-carbon process. Thus, a low-carbon dispatch strategy for power systems considering flexible DR and ES is proposed in this article. First, models of DR and ES based on their behavior characteristics are established. Then, a carbon emission index is presented according to China’s Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). Finally, the low-carbon dispatch strategy for power systems is proposed through the combination of the carbon emission index and flexible resource dispatch models. The simulation results show that the proposed dispatch strategy can significantly improve wind power consumption and reduce carbon emission.
