Cooperative Trading Mechanism and Satisfaction-Based Profit Distribution in a Multi-Energy Community

With the development of distributed generation and demand-side response, traditional consumers are now converted into prosumers that can actively produce and consume electricity. Moreover, with the help of energy integration technique, prosumers are encouraged to form a multi-energy community (MEC), which can increase their social welfare through inside multi-energy sharing. This paper proposes a day-ahead cooperative trading mechanism in a MEC that depends on an energy hub (EH) to couple electricity, natural gas, and heat for all prosumers. The model of the traditional uncooperative local integrated energy system (ULIES) is also built as a comparison. A satisfaction-based profit distribution mechanism is set according to prosumers’ feelings about the extra cost they save or extra profit they gain in MEC compared with that in ULIES. Finally, case studies are set to analyze the utility of MEC in enlarging social welfare, after considering the effects of prosumers’ electricity usage patterns and buy-and-sell prices in retail market. The results of satisfaction-based profit distribution are also analyzed to verify that it can save the cost or increase the profit of each prosumer and EH.

A STUDY ON INDIVIDUAL CARBON TRADING MECHANISM BASED ON CARBON REDUCTION BONUS IN THE CONTEXT OF CHINA'S MOTOR VEHICLE RESTRICTION POLICY

In the context of the development of China's carbon emissions trading market, research into individual-based carbon trading markets is gradually gaining momentum. But due to the diversity of individual carbon emissions and the difculty of quantifying them, there are many challenges to realising a personal carbon trading market, and China has yet to develop a complete personal carbon trading system. Therefore, based on Beijing's tail number restriction policy, this paper designs a personal carbon trading market mechanism based on the carbon emissions generated by car use as a commodity, with a focus on trading mechanisms, and supported by incentive systems, regulatory systems and compensation systems. With the help of the "carbon reduction red envelope" trading platform to achieve the participation of two main bodies, multi-benet. The changes in carbon emissions under different scenarios are also analysed, and some of the conditions for the operation of the personal carbon trading mechanism proposed in this paper are calculated. The individual carbon trading mechanism proposed in this paper,solves the inconvenience caused by the license plate restriction policy to Chinese people, promotes the exible and systematic development of urban management, and provides ideas for the development of China's individual carbon trading market.
