Abstract

In response to the supply-demand imbalance faced by intelligent buildings under the dual uncertainties of photovoltaic output on the source side and electricity demand on the load side, this study aims to reduce energy storage investment and electricity costs while enhancing the economic viability and robustness of shared energy storage systems. To achieve this goal, we develop a bi-level optimization model for shared energy storage based on hybrid game theory. In this model, energy storage operators and building users form a leader-follower game relationship; operators act as leaders setting internal transaction prices while users respond as followers through demand response strategies. Additionally, cooperative game theory is employed among buildings to fairly allocate costs using bilateral Shapley value methods.The uncertainty in source-load dynamics is characterized by constructing fuzzy sets for photovoltaic output using Wasserstein distance and incorporating conditional value at risk (CVaR) to depict investment risks arising from load fluctuations. The Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions are utilized to transform the bi-level model into a single-layer mixed-integer linear programming problem for solution. Simulation results based on an intelligent building cluster in Jiangsu demonstrate that the proposed strategy effectively reduces redundant energy storage capacity by 12.3% and lowers average electricity costs across buildings by 8.7%, while simultaneously increasing operator profits and shortening payback periods for investments. Compared with traditional robust optimization methods and deterministic approaches, our method significantly enhances economic performance without compromising system robustness. The proposed hybrid game optimization strategy can collaboratively address dual uncertainties in sources and loads, facilitating efficient utilization of shared energy storage resources while achieving mutual benefits for all parties involved. This approach provides an effective pathway toward low-carbon operational efficiency for clusters of intelligent buildings.

Aiming at the problem of wind curtailment caused by the energy structure lacked the adjustment ability in the three north area, this paper aggregated wind farm, concentrating solar power plant(CSPP), thermal power units and combined heat and power(CHP) plant into virtual power plant(VPP). Using stochastic optimization to deal with the uncertainty of wind-solar, Latin hypercube sampling (LHS) was used to generated a large number of random scenes, and based on considering the random characteristics and correlation of wind-solar distribution fully,Kantorovich distance reduction and <em>K</em>-means clustering algorithm were used to optimized and reduced the dimension of random scenes, for obtaining typical prediction wind-solar scenes. Combined with the flexibility and energy supply inertia of CSPP, the optimal dispatching model of the VPP contained photothermal was constructed, and the objective function of minimizing the total operation cost of the system was established. Finally, an example was given to verify the superiority of the proposed stochastic optimization method in computational efficiency and prediction accuracy; The objective functions under different operation scenarios were solved to verify that the optimal dispatching model could improve the wind power consumption capacity while reducing the system operation cost effectively.

To further promote the efficient use of energy storage and the local consumption of renewable energy in a multi-integrated energy system (MIES), a MIES model is developed based on the operational characteristics and profitability mechanism of a shared energy storage station (SESS), considering concentrating solar power (CSP), integrated demand response, and renewable energy output uncertainty. We propose a corresponding MIES model based on co-operative game theory and the CSP and an optimal allocation method for MIES shared energy storage. The model considers the maximum operating benefit of the SESS as the upper objective function and the minimum operating cost of the MIES as the lower objective function. First, the Karush–Kuhn–Tucker conditions of the lower-layer model are transformed into constraints of the upper-layer model, and the Big-M method is used to linearize the nonlinear problem and convert the two-layer nonlinear model into a single-layer linear model. Second, based on the Nash negotiation theory, the benefits of each IES in the MIES are allocated. Finally, the fuzzy chance constraints are used to relax the power balance constraints, and the trapezoidal fuzzy numbers are transformed into a deterministic equivalence class to assess the impact of renewable energy output uncertainty on system operation. The validity and rationality of the proposed two-layer model are verified through simulation, and the results demonstrate that the proposed shared storage capacity leasing model can effectively reduce the total operation cost, increase the profitability of the shared storage operator, and increase the utilization rate of the SESS.
