Session 4: Low-Carbon Distribution System Dispatch and Market Operations: Modeling, Optimization, and Integration
“低碳配电系统调度和市场运营:建模、优化和集成”
With the global push toward decarbonization and the widespread deployment of distributed renewable energy sources, the distribution-level power systems are undergoing transformative changes. The emerging low-carbon distribution systems are characterized by high penetrations of photovoltaics, wind power, electric vehicles, energy storage systems, and flexible demand-side resources. These changes pose new challenges to conventional dispatching strategies, market mechanisms, and system control paradigms.
To enable reliable and economically efficient operations while supporting carbon neutrality goals, it is critical to develop advanced modeling, optimization, and control methods tailored to the unique features of active distribution networks. Moreover, innovative local market frameworks—such as peer-to-peer trading, community energy markets, and transactive energy systems—need to be integrated with low-carbon operational goals and network-aware constraints.
This session aims to bring together leading researchers, engineers, and practitioners to discuss the latest advances in low-carbon distribution system dispatch and market operation, with emphasis on both theoretical innovation and real-world application.
在全球积极推进脱碳进程以及分布式可再生能源广泛部署的背景下,配电系统正经历深刻的变革。新兴的低碳配电系统呈现出光伏、风电、电动汽车、储能系统以及柔性需求侧资源高比例渗透的特征。这些变化对传统的调度策略、市场机制以及系统控制范式提出了新的挑战。
为了实现系统运行的可靠性与经济性,同时助力碳中和目标的实现,亟需发展适应主动配电网独特特性的先进建模、优化与控制方法。此外,创新性的本地化市场框架——如点对点交易、社区能源市场与事务性交能系统——也需与低碳运行目标及考虑配网特性的约束条件有机融合。
本分会场旨在汇聚该领域的前沿学者、工程专家与业界实践者,围绕低碳配电系统调度与市场运行的最新研究进展展开深入探讨,重点关注理论创新与实际应用的结合。
