Low-Carbon Smart Operation of Integrated Energy System Considering Multi-energy Flow Trading Mechanism, Interaction Model and Decision-making Algorithm under Complex Time-Space Coupling Environment

Project Description:

The ‘dual carbon’ target spurs the smart integrated energy system’s participation in the multi-market joint transaction of the electricity and carbon emission markets. However, the large-scale integration of renewable energy will bring great uncertainty to the optimal operation of the smart integrated energy system. To this end, this project intends to investigate the critical technologies for the low-carbon smart operation of the integrated energy system on multi-energy flow transaction mechanism, interaction model, and decision-making algorithm under a complex time-space coupling environment. First, conduct in-depth research on the demand response mechanism, peer-to-peer power trading mechanism, and multi-agents carbon trading mechanism from the perspective of multi-energy complementarity to establish a multi-market trading mechanism for the interconnected integrated energy systems to achieve low-carbon operation; Second, determine the impact of multi-temporal and spatial complex coupling and multi-agents game interaction in multiple markets to establish a multi-temporal and spatial coupling integrated energy system optimization model to hedge against the influence of multi-agents complex interaction to ensure the safe and stable economic operation of the system and improve the proportion of renewable energy. Third, an efficient collaborative optimization algorithm for integrated energy system transactions and operations based on model and data fusion driven is proposed to achieve solid technical support for efficient energy management. Finally, a simulation platform is built that integrates transaction mechanisms, optimization models, and management decision-making algorithms to promote the realization of the goal of carbon neutrality.

Congratulations to Professor Xu!
