Abstract

As a priority industry in China to be included in the carbon trading system, the power industry has become the main body of carbon emission reduction. As a technology and market solution for aggregating distributed resources in the power grid, virtual power plants can further enhance the overall benefits of virtual power plants by aggregating electric vehicle resources to participate in the carbon market. This paper proposes an optimal scheduling method for virtual power plants to aggregate electric vehicles to participate in the carbon market. Electric vehicles are used as controllable loads and energy storage devices to participate in the optimal operation of virtual power plants, and to improve the economic benefits of virtual power plants participating in the electric energy market. The power plant participates in the certified emission reduction market by acting as an agent for electric vehicles, which improves the efficiency of electric vehicles participating in the carbon market. The analysis of an example shows that the advantages of traditional distributed resources and electric vehicles can be effectively complemented by the centralized optimal management of virtual power plants and simultaneous participation in electricity energy market and carbon market transactions, and the overall operation performance of virtual power plants can be improved.
