Abstract:

Electric vehicles (EVs), as flexible loads in the optimal scheduling of new power systems, can enhance the utilization of new energy and offer a new way to accelerating the development of next-generation power infrastructure. To address the low-carbon optimal scheduling challenge involving sources and loads, where EVs participate in price- and incentive-based demand response, this study proposes a new day-ahead-intraday low-carbon optimal scheduling method. The approach leverages the demand response characteristics of EVs and employs the sparrow search algorithm (SSA) to optimize a convolutional long short-term memory neural network (ConvLSTM NN). First, the historical data of new energy generation and base load are predicted using the SSA-optimized ConvLSTM NN, thereby reducing the influence of uncertainties on the supply and demand sides in the day-ahead-intraday scheduling of new power systems. Next, three types of EV charging modes are defined based on their charging characteristics observed under demand response participation. A two-stage low-carbon environmental-economic dispatch model for source-load interaction is then developed, incorporating the total system cost under ladder-type carbon trading and the optimal control of pollutant emissions. Finally, an improved multiobjective gray wolf algorithm is employed to solve the model. For validation, typical daily data on photovoltaic power, wind power, and loads are used in the case analysis, which also fully considers the demand response characteristics of the various EV charging modes. The optimal scheduling results across four operating scenarios show that, compared with Scenario 1, Scenario 4 achieves a 10.3% reduction in total cost, a 10.9% decrease in pollutant emissions, and a 4.2% increase in new energy consumption. Overall, the proposed day-ahead-intraday low-carbon optimal scheduling method effectively enhances the environmental and economic benefits of new energy utilization in modern power systems.
