Abstract

The multi-timescale optimization dispatch method for integrated energy systems proposed in this paper balances sustainability and low-carbon characteristics. It first incorporates shared energy storage resources such as electric vehicles into system dispatch, fully leveraging their spatiotemporal properties to enhance dispatch flexibility and rapid response capabilities for integrating renewable energy and enabling clean power generation. Second, an incentive-penalty mechanism enables effective interaction between the system and the green certificate–carbon joint trading market. Penalties are imposed for failing to meet renewable energy consumption targets or exceeding carbon quotas, while rewards are granted for meeting or exceeding targets. This regulates the system’s renewable energy consumption level and carbon emissions, ensuring robust low-carbon performance. Third, this strategy considers the close coordination between heating, cooling, and electricity demand response measures with the integrated energy system, smoothing load fluctuations to achieve peak shaving and valley filling. Finally, through case study simulations and analysis, the advantages of the multi-timescale dispatch strategy proposed in this paper, in terms of economic feasibility, low-carbon characteristics, and sustainability, are verified.
