Abstract:

Multiple virtual power plants (VPP) will cooperate and compete with each other in the operation of the future power grid because of the constant growth of the scale of new energy sources and the entry of diverse capitals into the power market. A collaborative optimal operation model between multi-energy VPPs based on the Nash bargaining theory is proposed to solve the problem of optimal power grid operation and market players' interest distribution. First, for the multi-energy VPP, including the gas turbine, heat pump, various energy storage devices, electric load, thermal load, cooling load, etc., a multi-energy VPP group optimization operation model based on Nash negotiation theory is constructed. Second, to solve the complex non-convex nonlinear optimization problem, based on the mean value inequality, the model is transformed into two sub-problems of multi-energy VPP benefit maximization and energy payment value between multi-energy VPPs. Third, considering the information privacy and security between VPPs, the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) is employed to solve the above two sub-problems in a distributed manner. Three multi-energy VPPs were selected for this study's example analysis. The results show that when fairness is considered, the optimization method proposed in this study can improve both the income and overall income of each VPP.

Key words: multi-energy VPP, Nash bargaining, ADMM, operation optimization
