Abstract:

Integrated power generation systems effectively manage distributed energy resources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, current research predominantly prioritizes economic viability, with limited consideration given to energy conservation, emission reduction, and related market-oriented mechanisms, and lacks adaptive modeling of existing mechanisms in response to recent policy changes. Additionally, the stochasticity and volatility of renewable energy sources remain critical challenges to be addressed. Consequently, an optimal dispatch strategy for a wind-solar-thermal-storage combined power generation system considering a combined renewable energy certificate and stepped carbon trading mechanism was proposed, where mechanism design and model construction were deeply coupled. From the perspective of market-oriented mechanisms, renewable energy certificates were categorized into tradable and non-tradable types, followed by their deep integration into the trading framework. By leveraging stochastic chance-constrained programming to characterize renewable energy output uncertainty, a joint dispatch model comprising gas turbines,photovoltaics,wind power,and energy storage systems(ESS) was established. Furthermore,a hybrid artificial protozoa optimizer(APO)-particle swarm optimization(PSO) algorithm merging the APO and PSO was developed to enhance solution accuracy and convergence speed. The results demonstrated that the proposed method significantly enhanced renewable energy utilization and reduced carbon emissions. Moreover, the strategy fully mobilized the ESS to smooth power fluctuations, achieved peak shaving and valley filling, and exhibited improved stability and economic efficiency in power system operations.
