Low-carbon economic multi-objective dispatch of integrated energy system considering the price fluctuation of natural gas and carbon emission accounting

Abstract

Natural gas is the main energy source and carbon emission source of integrated energy systems (IES). In existing studies, the price of natural gas is generally fixed, and the impact of price fluctuation which may be brought by future liberalization of the terminal side of the natural gas market on the IES is rarely considered. This paper constructs a natural gas price fluctuation model based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) and Dynamic Bayesian networks (DBN) algorithms. It uses the improved epsilon constraint method and fuzzy multi-weight technology to solve the Pareto frontier set considering the system operation cost and carbon emission. The system operation cost is described using Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) to predict the stochastic output of the renewable energy source, and a penalty function based on the Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) model to describe the thermal comfort of the user. This is analyzed using the Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) algorithm. Carbon emissions are calculated using the carbon accounting method, and a ladder penalty mechanism is introduced to define the carbon trading price. Results of the comparison illustrate that the Pareto optimal solution tends to choose less carbon emission, electricity is more economical, and gas is less carbon-intensive in a small IES for end-users when the price of natural gas fluctuates. The impacts of various extents of natural gas price fluctuation for the same load are also discussed.

“…Currently, numerous studies on IES have been carried out in terms of the quantification of multi-energy resources [7,8], planning and operation optimization [9][10][11] as well as the comprehensive evaluation of energy systems [12]. Regarding the modeling of multi-energy resources, the coupling model between the energy supply system and the oil and gas production system is proposed in [13], and a reliability model of IES considering multienergy correlation is established in [14], which presents a novel analytical method to model the dependent multi-energy capacity outage states and their joint outage probabilities for its reliability assessment.…”

Multi-objective particle swarm optimization for optimal scheduling of household microgrids

“…While their study offered valuable insights into equipment capacity and power generation costs, it lacked considerations for advanced microgrid configurations and electric vehicle impacts. Qin et al (2023) formulated a coordinated optimal scheduling model tailored for active distribution networks, addressing diverse objectives like dispatch cost and load curve variance within a multi-energy system framework (Ma et al, 2022). Nonetheless, traditional PSO algorithms utilized in their model posed challenges related to convergence and realtime scheduling demands (Yang et al, 2022d).…”
