Abstract

Effective mitigation and reduction of carbon emissions is consistently underscored in Regional Integrated Energy Systems (RIES), aligning with the goals of carbon-neutralization. However, the inherent trade-off between carbon emissions reduction and economic operation is an obvious challenge not only in power systems but especially in the coupled electricity-gas-heat energy systems. This paper develops a bi-level low-carbon optimal scheduling model, highlighting reliable operation and the balance of supply and demand of RIESs with demand-response uncertainty. In this paper we firstly redefined the carbon emission of a RIES as a carbon flow and proposed a reward and punishment carbon trading mechanism based on the ladder carbon price. Secondly, we designed an incentive-based demand-side response policy within the subsystem encompassing electricity, gas, and heat. Concurrently, the probability density distribution functions of transferable, replaceable, and interruptible loads are computed separately. Based on the above, the deviation of the load reduction and the actual load is recalculated to delimit the constraint of the demand-side response. Finally, the mechanism of carbon trading and the demand-response is leveraged to address the economic scheduling incorporating operation cost, carbon transaction cost, imbalance costs of supply and demand, and load loss. Simulations demonstrated in the paper prove that the optimal solution with demand-response uncertain may effectively increase the economic performance and reduce carbon emissions of a RIES.
