Asymmetric Nash bargaining model for operation optimization of multi-integrated energy systems considering peer-to-peer energy trading

Abstract

Energy interactions across integrated energy systems constitute crucial means to enhance energy efficiency and match supply and demand. However, the cooperative operation and benefit distribution among multiple integrated energy systems still need in-depth exploration. To fill this gap, this paper presents an asymmetric Nash bargaining optimization model for multiple integrated energy systems considering peer-to-peer trading. First, a scheduling model for multi-integrated energy systems is formulated considering carbon trading. Then, the model is incorporated into Nash bargaining framework and transformed into the alliance cost minimization subproblem and peer-to-peer trading payment bargaining subproblem. The bargaining power factor is introduced to measure the contribution of participants in energy sharing. The alternating direction multiplier method is utilized to handle the proposed model. Finally, a case study is carried out to validate the validity of the proposed strategy. The results show that compared with the independent operation mode, the performances of three integrated energy systems in collaborative operation mode are enhanced by 11.7 %, 9.0 %, and 4.8 % respectively. The distributed algorithm can reduce the computation time by 30 % and obtain highly efficient solutions while protecting private information of each participant. This research provides support and practical tools for conducting peer-to-peer transactions of multiple integrated energy systems.
