Game-based planning model of wind-solar energy storage capacity allocation in microgrids
The rational allocation of microgrids' wind, solar, and storage capacity is essential for new energy utilization in regional power grids. This paper uses game theory to construct a planning model for wind-solar energy storage systems, considering their techno-economic characteristics. By calculating equilibrium allocations and benefits and combining equilibrium concepts with the principle of maximum entropy, it evaluates the probability of different microgrid types with multiple decision-makers, expanding the decision-making space. The benefit function is adjusted according to this probability distribution, recalculating capacities and benefits for wind-solar energy storage systems to reflect real competitive environments accurately.
期刊介绍:
Utilities Policy is deliberately international, interdisciplinary, and intersectoral. Articles address utility trends and issues in both developed and developing economies. Authors and reviewers come from various disciplines, including economics, political science, sociology, law, finance, accounting, management, and engineering. Areas of focus include the utility and network industries providing essential electricity, natural gas, water and wastewater, solid waste, communications, broadband, postal, and public transportation services.
Utilities Policy invites submissions that apply various quantitative and qualitative methods. Contributions are welcome from both established and emerging scholars as well as accomplished practitioners. Interdisciplinary, comparative, and applied works are encouraged. Submissions to the journal should have a clear focus on governance, performance, and/or analysis of public utilities with an aim toward informing the policymaking process and providing recommendations as appropriate. Relevant topics and issues include but are not limited to industry structures and ownership, market design and dynamics, economic development, resource planning, system modeling, accounting and finance, infrastructure investment, supply and demand efficiency, strategic management and productivity, network operations and integration, supply chains, adaptation and flexibility, service-quality standards, benchmarking and metrics, benefit-cost analysis, behavior and incentives, pricing and demand response, economic and environmental regulation, regulatory performance and impact, restructuring and deregulation, and policy institutions.
