Optimization of Tiered Pricing Strategy for Smart Grid Considering Clean Energy

With the rapid development of new energy technology, it has become a trend to combine wind and solar power generation into the smart grid. In this paper, wind power generation and photovoltaic power generation are introduced into the smart grid, and taking into account the consumption capacity of consumers at different levels, a tiered pricing scheme considering the uncertainty of wind and solar energy is proposed. Firstly, we establish probability density functions of power generation for wind power generation and photovoltaic power generation respectively to express the uncertainty of wind energy and solar energy. To meet the energy demand of consumers at all levels, we present the energy demand model of consumers after considering their electricity demand and temperature influence. Then, we formulate the optimal pricing problem for the electricity market under the framework of tiered pricing, so as to make the energy market get satisfactory income while meeting the energy demand of consumers. Finally, we use the particle swarm optimization algorithm to determine the optimal pricing strategy of the energy market. The simulation results show that when meeting the energy demand of consumers in different temperature conditions, the optimal pricing can be found that meets the satisfactory income of the energy market.
