Optimal Operation of an Integrated Rural Energy System with Biomass Direct-fired Power Generation based on Carbon Trading

To further explore the role of biomass direct-fired power generation in carbon emission reduction and rural revitalization, a model for optimizing the operation of rural integrated energy systems with biomass direct-fired power generation considering carbon trading is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the architecture of the integrated rural energy system is constructed, and the output and carbon emissions of each equipment in the system and the carbon trading mechanism are modeled. Finally, an optimization model for the low carbon operation of rural integrated energy systems is developed considering the objective function of minimizing the total purchased energy costs, operating costs , and cost of carbon. The analysis of the operation status of the system with or without the participation of direct biomass-fired power generation and different carbon trading prices reveals that direct biomass-fired power generation in rural areas can improve the operation economy of integrated rural energy systems, and setting a reasonable carbon trading price can achieve the synergy between system economy and low carbon.
