Decision-Making Model for Electricity and Heat Cotrading in Community Clusters Considering Low-Carbon Priorities

Nowadays, new energy is widely used for power supply. Communities have become the major subject of urban energy consumption. Due to the urban economy and low-carbon energy needs, integrated community energy with electric-thermal synergy is widely used. This paper proposes a community scheduling strategy. Firstly, a low-carbon prioritized coordinated trading model is proposed for electricity and heat in community clusters. Secondly, a model of community group electrothermal trading is proposed. Thirdly, the optimized results are calculated through the Community Cluster Electrothermal Transaction Model. Finally, a decision-making model is developed for electric-thermal collaborative trading in community clusters. The results of this paper show that the community cluster electricity and heat co-trading decision-making model meets both equity and low-carbon needs. The proximity of regional community clusters is enabled to resources. And the flexibility is increased in regional energy markets. As a result, the scheduling costs are reduced effetely.
