Bidding strategy of a virtual power plant considering carbon-electricity trading

Virtual power plant (VPP) aggregates large amounts of distributed energy and controllable loads. The comprehensive consideration of carbon emissions and electricity transactions has great significance in improving the VPP operation's economic efficiency. In this paper, the bidding strategy of the VPP by considering the carbon-electricity integration trading in an auxiliary service (AS) market is studied. First of all, the basic structure and operating features of the VPP are briefly introduced. Then, the bidding strategy model of carbon-electricity integration trading in an auxiliary service market is proposed and the corresponding objective function and the constraint conditions are also analyzed. Furthermore, the GAMS solver is utilized to give the optimal solution of the bidding strategy model. Finally, the effectiveness of the bidding strategy of a VPP based on the consideration of carbon-electricity integration trading is verified through simulation cases.
