Low-carbon Economic Scheduling of Combined Cooling, Heating and Power Microgrid Considering Demand Response and Shared Energy Storage

Abstract

In order to further promote the new energy consumption of combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) microgrid, reduce carbon emissions, and optimize the total operating cost of the microgrid, a low-carbon optimal scheduling model of CCHP microgrid was proposed. It considered demand response (DR) and shared energy storage (SES). Firstly, the concept of SES and its operation mode are applied to the microgrid. Secondly, in order to take advantage of the flexible nature of multiple loads, an integrated demand response (IDR) model with a ladder subsidy mechanism was established. Then, the optimal scheduling model introduces a reward and punishment ladder carbon trading mechanism (RPL-CTM). Finally, taking energy purchase cost, load reduction subsidy cost, interaction cost with energy storage station, carbon trading cost, and wind abandoning penalty cost as optimization objectives, a multi-energy coupling, and multi-objective collaborative optimization scheduling model was established. Numerical analysis indicates that the model can efficiently lower the microgrid’s operating cost and encourage the use of clean energy and carbon emission reduction.
