Abstract

With the growing global environmental concerns and the push for carbon neutrality, rural multi-regional integrated energy systems (IESs) face challenges related to low energy efficiency, high carbon emissions, and the transition to cleaner energy sources. This paper proposes a cooperative game-based low-carbon economic dispatch strategy for rural IESs, integrating carbon trading mechanisms. A novel multi-regional IESs architecture is developed to exploit the synergy between photovoltaic (PV) and biomass energy systems. The proposed model described the anaerobic fermentation heat loads, incorporates variable-temperature fermentation, and employs a Nash bargaining model solved via the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) to optimize cooperation while preserving stakeholder privacy. Simulation results show that the proposed strategy reduces total operating costs by 16.9% and carbon emissions by 7.5%, validating its effectiveness in enhancing efficiency and sustainability in rural energy systems.
