Optimal dispatching method for low-carbon park comprehensive energy system based on IFWA-SFLA algorithm

Abstract Due to the instability of the output and load of the integrated energy system, it is difficult to effectively control the carbon emissions during the load phase. Therefore, this paper proposes a study on the optimal dispatching method of the low-carbon park integrated energy system based on the IFWA-SFLA algorithm. Combining load demand and renewable energy output fluctuations and analyzing the conversion and transfer relationships between different energy forms in the system, an objective function based on minimizing carbon emissions was constructed and will meet the actual load demand of the park. The energy conversion equipment capacity limit is used as a constraint; in the specific scheduling stage, the IFWA-SFLA algorithm is introduced, using carbon emissions as a fitness function to solve the optimal scheduling plan in the global scope. In the test results, the design method corresponds to the lowest carbon emissions. Compared with the control group, the total carbon emissions during the test period were reduced by 1002.88kg and 1058.80kg, respectively, and the average carbon emissions during the test period were reduced by 143.27kg and 151.26kg, respectively.

Low-carbon optimal dispatch of park integrated energy system considering coordinated ammonia production from multiple hydrogen energy

The utilization of ammonia energy has garnered considerable global attention as a viable approach to alleviate pressure on energy supply within park integrated energy systems (PIES) and enhance energy efficiency. However, the introduction of ammonia production requires the system to increase large amounts of hydrogen, diversifying the sources of hydrogen and challenging the coordinated operation of PIES. In this paper, the inertia characteristics of the gas and thermal energy delivery process are utilized to increase the flexibility of the PIES operation. A technological framework for coordinated ammonia production from multi-hydrogen energy in PIES under consideration of having inertia characteristics and a low-carbon operation strategy for ammonia-doped combustion in thermal generation is constructed. Limiting carbon emissions through a stepped carbon trading mechanism in this strategy. In addition, while addressing the ammonia-doped requirement for thermal generation combustion, and by flexibly setting the ammonia doping ratio of thermal generation combustion, the operation of PIES under different ammonia-doped ratios has been analyzed in detail. The results demonstrate that the proposed model enhances the utilization of renewable energy, leading to reduction in total economic costs by 4.52 % and total carbon emissions by 24.81 %. This makes the operation of PIES more economical, low-carbon, and flexible.

Multi‐objective and multi‐stage low‐carbon planning of park integrated energy system considering random outages from superior power grid

AbstractThis article proposes a multi‐objective and multi‐stage low‐carbon planning approach for park integrated energy systems (PIES) considering the impacts of random outages from the superior electrical grid. This approach incorporates optimal multi‐stage construction sequencing and stepped carbon emission trading to leverage the economic and low‐carbon benefits of long‐term planning. First, the islanding modes of PIES are described using four random variables: island type, duration, start time, and typical day of occurrence, from which islanding scenarios are generated based on scenario tree. Next, a multi‐objective planning model that considers both economics and reliability is constructed, with the objectives of minimizing the total lifecycle planning cost and the expected economic loss during islanding. The improved Normalized Normal Constraint (NNC) method is proposed to solve the multi‐objective planning problem. Then, the fuzzy membership function is used to determine the optimal compromise solution, resulting in a planning scheme that balances economic efficiency and supply reliability. Finally, simulations indicate that, at the cost of a slight increase in planning expenses, the proposed model significantly reduces the loss costs under islanding modes compared with single‐objective economic‐focused planning. Additionally, the improved NNC method can achieve a more uniform Pareto frontier compared with the conventional NNC method.

A negative-carbon planning method for agricultural rural industrial park integrated energy system considering biomass energy and modern agricultural facilities

Biomass energy, recognized as a “zero-carbon” energy, has gradually become a crucial approach to promoting the low-carbon transformation of agricultural rural industrial parks (ARIP). Meanwhile, modern agricultural facilities (MAF) can play a significant role in adjusting agricultural load. Therefore, this paper proposes a negative-carbon planning method for the ARIP integrated energy system (IES). Firstly, carbon activities occurring during the operation of ARIP are sorted out and modeled based on the life cycle assessment (LCA) method, especially modeling the “zero-carbon” and “negative-carbon” benefits of biomass energy. At the same time, the models of both agricultural irrigation systems and straw bundling direct combustion heating are constructed in the ARIP planning. Then, a negative-carbon planning model for ARIP IES is established with the goal of minimizing the annualized total cost, where carbon emission reduction is integrated into the optimization objectives through carbon trading. On this basis, a two-stage distributionally robust optimization (DRO) planning model is constructed, where a box-like set and comprehensive norm constraints are used to model the seasonal differences of agricultural industry loads and the uncertainty of probability distribution in photovoltaic (PV) scenarios. Especially, a box set with adjustable uncertainty coefficients is introduced to simulate fluctuations of output in PV scenario. Finally, the CPLEX solver is used to solve the planning model. verify the effectiveness of the proposed planning method in enhancing the economic and environmental effects of ARIP. Results indicate that the proposed planning model can reduce the total cost by 49.584 × 104 $. Besides, the annual carbon emissions can be reduced from 37533.98 t CO2-eq to −15834.5 t CO2-eq. Especially, the carbon sequestration effect of biochar is the key link in achieving “negative carbon” in ARIP.

AbstractUnder the background of achieving the dual‐carbon goal, the park is a natural experimental field for practicing the dual‐carbon goal. A low‐carbon optimal scheduling strategy for a multi‐agent park‐integrated energy system (P‐IES) based on the Stackelberg–Nash game is proposed. Firstly, a low‐carbon P‐IES scheduling model is established, considering the two‐stage operation of power‐to‐gas (P2G) technology and reward–punishment stepwise carbon trading mechanism. Then, a two‐layer game optimisation model is proposed with a park‐integrated energy system operator (P‐IESO) as the leader and multiple low‐carbon P‐IESs as followers. Among them, the parks are connected with each other through the power trading channels. Then, the Nash equilibrium solution is obtained by the iterative search method, and the uniqueness of the equilibrium solution of the game is proven, so as to determine the optimal pricing strategy of the operator. Finally, a typical industrial park is taken as an example for simulation verification. The example analysis verifies that the model can effectively reduce the system's carbon emissions and improve the park's economic benefits and low‐carbon levels, thereby achieving the coordinated development of low‐carbon and economic performance in the park.

Multi-stakeholder participation is crucial in facilitating the development of park-integrated energy systems (PIES). Balancing the diverse interests of various stakeholders, each with its distinct requirements presents a notable challenge. Concurrently, the model's complexity increases due to the engagement of various stakeholders, posing challenges to its resolution through traditional methods. In this context, this paper aims to investigate an optimal scheduling model that incorporates shared energy storage (SES) system, microgrids operator (MGO), electric vehicles station (EVS), and user aggregator (UA) with multiple prosumers. To comprehensively address the interests of all stakeholders, this study introduces a tri-level optimization model. The proposed model integrates a bidirectional Stackelberg-Nash game framework, in which the SES acts as the leader, the MGO acts as the secondary leader, and the UA-EVS acts as the followers while allocating benefits based on the asymmetric Nash bargaining theory. The Stackelberg game model between MGO and UA-EVS is analyzed using the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) condition, while the Stackelberg game model between SES and MGO is resolved using the bisection method. Meanwhile, the Nash bargaining method among users is solved using the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) technique. The analysis indicates that the proposed strategy can reduce PIES's costs and carbon emissions, yielding a win-win situation for all stakeholders.

Finally, the scheduling scheme is introduced into a typical industrial park model for simulation. The simulation result shows that the consideration of the wind uncertainty problem can further reduce the system’s operating cost, and the introduction of P2G-CCS can effectively help the park’s integrated energy system to reduce carbon emissions and solve the problem of wind and solar power consumption. Moreover, it can more effectively reduce the system’s operating costs and improve the economic benefits of the park.

To improve the consumption rate of renewable energy and ensure the stability of power and heat supply within the industrial park, a park-integrated energy system (PIES), which incorporates electric heating equipment, energy storage devices, and multiple micro sources, is established. Based on the established PIES, a price-based demand response (PDR) mechanism is introduced to establish a multi-objective optimization and scheduling model with two time scales: day-ahead scheduling and intra-day scheduling, aiming to minimize the impact on the main grid and ensure the flexibility of system operation and real-time scheduling. With the objectives of minimizing operating costs and maximizing environmental benefits for PIES, a hybrid algorithm named Non-Dominated Sorting Beluga Whale Optimization (NSBWO), which combines the Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) and the Beluga Whale Optimization (BWO) algorithm is proposed to solve the optimization problem of the model. Simultaneously, an adaptive penalty function is introduced in the algorithm to handle constraint problems in optimization and additional penalty term for wind and solar curtailment is included within the constraints to improve the consumption rate of sustainable energy.

Simulation results show that the proposed NSBWO algorithm can achieve low-carbon economic scheduling of the system in both long-term and short-term time scales and improve renewable energy consumption. Due to its flexibility, intra-day scheduling has lower operating costs than day-ahead scheduling.
