Abstract:Starting from the problem of the current lack of synergy between the electricity market and the carbon market, this article summarizes the interaction mechanism and price transmission effect of the electricity carbon market. The Virtual Power Plant Operator (VPPO) formulates a bilateral interaction strategy for external participation in the electricity carbon joint market bidding and internal coordination and optimization decision-making. A multi-agent virtual power plant model is constructed, including wind power, photovoltaic power generation, gas turbines, energy storage, electric vehicles, and flexible loads. The bidding strategy is dynamically played based on the electricity carbon price, bidding electricity carbon emissions, and the operation compensation mechanism of energy storage and electric vehicles. The calculation example shows that the enthusiasm of distributed resources within virtual power plants in the electricity carbon joint market is better than that of independent participation of various entities in the market. There are differences in the impact level of carbon emission factors on virtual power plants in different regional power grids. The improvement of carbon electricity price conductivity is beneficial to the current electricity market efficiency and carbon reduction effect, providing theoretical guidance for the design of carbon pricing mechanisms.
