Abstract:

Objectives Considering the premise of clean and low-carbon system, the pricing of energy products in the integrated energy system is closely related to the economic interests of market users and the profitability of energy operators. Exergic economic analysis of integrated energy system (IES) containing power to gas-carbon capture power plant (P2G-CCPP) is proposed. Methods From the perspective of exergy, both the quantity and quality of energy were taken into account, exergy values are calculated for different energy flows, and a sub-model of exergy flow calculation is established. The low carbon economy of the system is introduced into the exergic economic analysis. The carbon emission trading cost, carbon capture energy cost and carbon storage cost are included in the non-energy cost. The exergic economic cost distribution model is established. Compared with traditional pricing methods, the paper considered the impact of carbon cost and energy grade difference on the exergic cost of the system, reflecting the principle of good quality and good price. Results Simulation examples show that the P2G-CCPP linkage system can improve the low carbon emission reduction ability of the system and realize the reasonable cost allocation. Conclusions The integrated energy system with P2G-CCPP units can effectively reduce the total system cost and the unit cost of cooling, heating and power, enhance the energy conservation and emission reduction approaches of carbon utilization and gas production and consumption, and has significant economic and social benefits.
