In order to reduce the impact of renewable energy output and load fluctuations and improve the flexibility of the integrated energy system (IES), it is necessary to further promote user participation in integrated demand response (IDR). Therefore, this paper constructs a hierarchical framework that enables the transaction of IDR resources among users by combining the information interaction network established by blockchain and the energy management network established by energy management system. This paper also analyses the comfort of users, the cost of energy purchase by users and the cost of energy use by load aggregators, and then develops a two-layer optimization model. The results of the simulation show that the model and trading framework constructed in this paper can realize the trading of IDR resources among users, which effectively promotes the participation of users in IDR, reduces the cost of users and load aggregators, reduces the loss of IDR resources, enables more effective integration of dispersed IDR resources and improves the flexibility of IES.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
