Optimal Scheduling Framework of Integrated Energy System Based on Carbon Emission in Electricity Spot Market

Abstract

Micro coal-fired units (MCFU) and combined heat and power plants (CHP) in integrated energy system (IES) will emit a large amount of carbon dioxide when providing loads to customers, which will lead to higher operating costs of IES. To solve this challenge, an optimal dispatch model of power-to-gas (P2G) and methane reactor (MR) considering the reward and punishment costs based on carbon emission trading mechanism is proposed, to reduce carbon emissions of IES and enhance the accommodation of renewable energy (RE). Subsequently, considering the uncertainty of RE, a combination optimization method for MCFU and CHP units is developed based on the Lagrange multiplier method. Finally, considering the mechanism of electricity spot market (ESM), a transaction strategy for IES participating in ESM is proposed to further enhance the accommodation of RE. The effectiveness of the proposed framework is demonstrated through simulations.
