Abstract

Under the background of sustainable development, the microgrid (MG) has become an important method for energy saving, emission reduction and meeting multiple energy demand. With the continuous promotion of China's carbon emission right market and green certificate market, to further promote the low-carbon development of MG, a multi-level trading optimization strategy is proposed for multi-microgrids (MMG) that considers the coupling of energy-certificate-carbon market. First, a MMG trading framework including a two-level certification-carbon and a three-level electric-thermal coupled trading is proposed. Second, based on the game theory pricing strategy and the elastic price mechanism of the supply-demand ratio, the MMG operation optimization strategy model is constructed considering multi-level energy-certification-carbon coupled trading. Finally, based on the principle of fair benefit allocation, the Shapley value method is utilized to redistribute the comprehensive income among the alliance members. The simulation results show that compared with the MMG baseline scenario, the overall economic efficiency of the proposed trading model is improved by 3.94 % and the carbon emissions are reduced by 11.71 %. In this way, it can effectively release the potential of MMG resource sharing and mutual benefit, so as to optimise the trade-off strategy for joint participation in the energy-certificate-carbon market.
