This paper proposes a two-layer nested game model to capture the interactions between SES and prosumers in an active energy community, and with the external main grid, hydropower station, and wind farm. In the upper layer, a Stackelberg game model is established, in which SES acts as the leader maximizing profit by offering electricity prices, while the alliance of prosumers is the follower responding to the prices through demand response and peer-to-peer (P2P) energy exchange. In the lower layer, a cooperative game is constructed for the prosumer alliance, the contributions of individual prosumers are scored and the asymmetric Nash bargaining is utilized to fairly allocate the total expense within the prosumer alliance. The alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) is adopted for privacy protection. A case study of a real active energy community in Southwest China demonstrates effectiveness and robustness of the proposed model under diverse conditions.

As energy hubs, the integrated energy systems operated by energy service providers couple different energy systems to realize flexible conversion of multiple energy, promote the renewable energy consumption and reduce carbon emissions. To promote cooperation among service providers of different scales and fully exploit the advantages of integrated energy systems in economic and clean energy utilization, an asymmetric Nash bargaining based day-ahead energy sharing strategy for integrated energy service providers is proposed in this paper. The day-ahead energy sharing problem is decomposed into energy sharing scheme formulation problem and energy sharing benefits settlement problem. To meet the privacy protection requirements of service providers, these problems are addressed by parallel distributed optimization algorithm. In sharing benefits settlement problem, a non-linear mapping function is proposed to calculate bargaining weights of service providers and distribute sharing benefits. Finally, simulation results show that the energy sharing strategy can maximize the benefits of each integrated service provider and the sharing alliance of them. With the fair distribution of sharing benefits, the sharing strategy incentivizes the active participation of service providers in sharing. The simulation results also show that energy sharing and demand response can further make full use of renewable energy, reduce the dependence on coal-fired power.

Compared to conventional ’structure-first’ grey-box model for transient response analysis, our approach unifies physics fidelity with data-driven adaptability, achieves a new balance between interpretability and generalization in microgrid equivalent modeling. The key innovation lies in the implementation of physically consistent parameter tuning for microgrid transient analysis, where the hard-constrained PINN acts as a differentiable simulator to navigate high-dimensional spaces while strictly adhering to dynamic ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The paradigm eliminates conventional manual tuning problems through gradient-aware exploration of non-convex landscapes, resolving the trade-off between fidelity and measurement noise adaptation.

To address this issue and fully utilize the performance of SOP, this paper conducts a comparative study of SOP with different topologies. First, a nonlinear programming (NLP) model to reveal the effect of multi-terminal SOP (MTSOP) in minimizing system losses and voltage deviation is developed.
