Abstract:

The Virtual Power Plant (VPP) is a key focus for energy management optimization and green, low-carbon operations. With the increasing participation of VPPs in green certificate and carbon trading markets, the volatility of distributed renewable energy and emerging business models have a significant impact on VPPs' optimization scheduling and trading strategies. To enhance the overall profitability of VPPs and further explore the scheduling potential of distributed resources, this paper proposed a robust optimization scheduling strategy for VPPs considering demand response and leasing shared energy storage in the green certificate-electricity-carbon coupled market. First, a price difference factor between green certificates and carbon quotas was introduced, and a coupled market operation framework was constructed. Second, considering the interest balance between VPPs and flexible loads under demand response, as well as the capacity leasing model of energy storage, a two-layer deterministic optimization scheduling model based on a leader-follower game was proposed. On this basis, a two-stage robust optimization model was further developed to account for the uncertainties of wind and photovoltaic power generation. Finally, the KKT conditions and column-and-constraint generation algorithm were applied to solve the model. Simulation results showed that the proposed strategy effectively addressed the uncertainties of wind and photovoltaic power, and through the integration of the green certificate-electricity-carbon coupled market, demand response, and leasing shared energy storage model, the potential for distributed resource scheduling was further explored, significantly enhancing the overall profitability of VPPs.
