A Low-Carbon Dispatch Strategy for Power Systems Considering Flexible Demand Response and Energy Storage

Abstract

The consumption of traditional fossil energy brings inevitable environmental protection problems, which also makes the low-carbon transition in industrial development imminent. In the process of low-carbon transition, the power industry plays a very important role. However, the large-scale integration of renewable energy resources such as wind power and photovoltaic brings new characteristics to power system dispatch. How to design a dispatch strategy that considers both low-carbon demand and economic cost has become a major concern in power systems. The flexible resources such as demand response (DR) and energy storage (ES) can cooperate with these renewable energy resources, promoting the renewable energy generation and low-carbon process. Thus, a low-carbon dispatch strategy for power systems considering flexible DR and ES is proposed in this article. First, models of DR and ES based on their behavior characteristics are established. Then, a carbon emission index is presented according to China’s Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). Finally, the low-carbon dispatch strategy for power systems is proposed through the combination of the carbon emission index and flexible resource dispatch models. The simulation results show that the proposed dispatch strategy can significantly improve wind power consumption and reduce carbon emission.

Dynamic pricing optimization for commercial subcontracting power suppliers engaging demand response considering building virtual energy storage

“…Since the main way to reduce energy consumption in lighting loads is to replace energy-saving lamps and improve energy efficiency, it is difficult to reduce energy loads by turning off the light sources in DR scenarios (Han, et al, 2022). At the same time, other loads within the public area generally encounter the problem of being more difficult to regulate and having a small adjustable range.…”

Economic Optimal Coordinated Dispatch of Power for Community Users Considering Shared Energy Storage and Demand Response under Blockchain

“…Power system dispatching involving large-scale forms of renewable energy, such as wind power and photovoltaic energy, has acquired new characteristics. The combination of flexible resources such as demand response, energy storage and renewable energy resources also promotes renewable energy elecrticity generation and low-carbon process [17]. The research surrounding power system dispatching operation focuses on power-side dispatching [18], distribution network dispatching [19], user-side dispatching [20,21], and micro-grid dispatching [22,23].…”

Multi-Objective Optimal Power Flow Calculation Considering Carbon Emission Intensity

“…But this allocation model is established on a macro level, and cannot conduct an in-depth analysis of carbon emissions in the power system. Han et al [15] proposes a power system low-carbon scheduling strategy, taking into account flexible demand response and energy storage by combining a carbon emission index with a flexible resource scheduling model. In Li et al [16], a dual-layer alternating optimal scheduling model is formulated, encompassing day-ahead dispatch and load demand response [17].…”
