Bi-Level Decentralized Optimal Economic Dispatch for Urban Regional Integrated Energy System Under Carbon Emission Constraints

Based on the real-time environmental constraints in urban regional construction, this paper constructed a bi-level decentralized low-carbon optimal dispatching model of the urban regional integrated energy system (RIES), including the park integrated energy systems (IESs). In this model, a bi-level optimal allocation model of carbon emission constraints between the urban and the park is proposed for the first time. The upper urban will formulate the real-time carbon emission constraints based on real-time environmental monitoring, decomposing the historical carbon emissions to the lower park IESs; the lower park will meet the real-time carbon emission constraints during optimization. We through the upper urban with the lower park between the bi-level decentralized optimization to ensure that the objective function's upper urban power, natural gas, and heat distribution network system is minimum total network loss. In addition, it is necessary to ensure the minimum operating cost of each park IESs and focus on how to meet the requirements of the overall environment of urban RIES. Furthermore, we study the influence of optimal allocation strategy of carbon emission constraints on network loss, and operating cost of urban RIES under different scenarios. Then, an improved analytical target cascading (ATC) method is applied to solve the bi-level decentralized optimal dispatching model of urban RIES. Finally, an example under three different scenarios is given to verify the superiority and effectiveness of the proposed model and the improved method.
