Optimal scheduling of park-level integrated energy system considering ladder-type carbon trading mechanism and flexible load

In an attempt to improve the utilization efficiency of multi-energy coupling in park-level integrated energy system (PIES), promote wind power consumption and reduce carbon emissions, a low-carbon economic operation optimization model of PIES integrating flexible load and carbon trading mechanism is constructed. Firstly, according to the characteristics of load response, the demand response is divided into four types: which can be shifted, transferred, reduced and replaced. Secondly, the PIES basic architecture is given by considering the combined heat and power generation coupling equipment, new energy and flexible load in the park. Finally, introducing the ladder-type carbon trading mechanism into the system and minimize the total operating cost, the low-carbon economic operation optimization model of PIES is established. The YALMIP toolbox and CPLEX solver are used to solve the example, the simulation results show that the participation of electrical and thermal coupled scheduling and flexible electric or thermal loads can significantly reduce the system operating cost, reduce the load peak-to-valley difference and relieve peak power consumption pressure
