Retail Market Equilibrium in Multicarrier Energy Systems: A Game Theoretical Approach

摘要: Multicarrier energy systems have provided the opportunity for users who are experiencing only must-run loads to participate in demand response programs by using self-generation units. In this paper, a bilevel game between so-called retailers and consumers with firm (as subsystems) is formulated multicarrier system. first level of game, offer selling prices different carriers maximize their profit. Consequently, react offered managing purchasing power from retail market minimize bill second level. The proposed approach leads mixed integer nonlinear programming problem which sophisticated solve. To simplify complex problem, solution method based on discretization technique introduced an epsilon Nash point. better performance system model shown comparison base case its effectiveness validated experimentally over practical benchmark simulation results show noticeable reduction production cost users’ bill. Moreover, gain more profit approach.
