Publication number: 20250094887Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for optimizing parameters of a ladder-type carbon trading mechanism based on an improved particle swarm optimization (IPSO) algorithm. The method first obtains information and operating data of a park-level integrated energy system, establishes equipment models and constraints of the park-level integrated energy system, and establishes a ladder-type carbon trading model; then encapsulates a process of optimized low-carbon dispatching of the park-level integrated energy system as a fitness function whose input is parameters of a carbon trading mechanism and output is a carbon emission of the system; and finally, introduces an IPSO algorithm to optimize the fitness function, and outputs optimization result information of the algorithm. The present disclosure verifies effectiveness and rationality of the model and the method that give full play to a role of the ladder-type carbon trading mechanism in the park-level integrated energy system through example analysis.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2022Publication date: March 20, 2025Inventors: Quan Chen, Xuanjun Zong, Sheng Zou, Hongwei Zhou, Tao Peng, Weiliang Wang, Wenjia Zhang, Chen Wu, Qun Zhang, Yuan Shen, Wei Feng, Gaofeng Shen, Min Zhang, Kai Yang, Xinyue Kong
