A Multi-Agent Integrated Energy Trading Strategy Based on Carbon Emission/Green Certificate Equivalence Interaction

To meet the demand for constructing a market mechanism that adapts to the integrated energy system and promotes market-oriented reforms in the energy sector, in-depth research on integrated energy trading strategies is required. This study focused on the integrated energy trading problem and clarify the relationships among participants in the integrated energy market. A regional integrated energy system model was established that enables trading of electricity, gas, heat, and cold, and propose a integrated energy trading strategy based on the carbon emissions/green certificate equivalence interaction. Firstly, the trading process of carbon emissions and green certificates, the underlying representation of green attributes, and market transaction prices are analyzed. Combining with a tiered carbon trading system that includes rewards and penalties, a carbon emissions/green certificate equivalence interaction mechanism is constructed. Secondly, the paper utilized the flexible characteristics of loads within the industrial park to establish a integrated energy demand response model for electricity, heat, and cold. Finally, with the objective of minimizing regional operating costs, a integrated energy trading model considering the carbon emissions/green certificate equivalence interaction mechanism was developed. In the simulation, the operating cost of the system is reduced by 4%, and the carbon emission is reduced by 11.4%, which verifies the effectiveness of the model
