A Low-Carbon Interactive Management Strategy for Community Integrated Energy System Based on Real-Time Carbon Intensity Assessment

With increasing energy consumption on the demand side, residential energy use has become a significant source of carbon emissions, which presents a substantial opportunity for emission reduction. This paper focuses on the low-carbon economic operation of community comprehensive energy systems, considering the linkage between energy and carbon prices, and proposes a low-carbon interactive management strategy for comprehensive energy systems based on real-time carbon intensity assessment. First, it establishes a community comprehensive energy system architecture, and introduces a residential carbon emission measurement method considering equivalent carbon emission reduction. Next, it designs a low-carbon demand response mechanism based on real-time carbon intensity assessment to encourage users to reduce carbon emission and increase new energy consumption through multi energy complementarity. Then, it develops a comprehensive energy system supply side scheduling model and a user side response model for the integrate energy system, aiming to achieve low-carbon economic operation through multi energy coupling and supply-demand interaction. Finally, the simulation results demonstrate that the proposed real-time carbon intensity assessment mechanism can effectively reduce carbon emissions in the integrated energy systems.
