Low carbon operation of power systems is a key way to achieve the goal of energy power carbon peaking and carbon neutrality. In order to promote the low carbon transition of energy and power and the coordinated and optimized operation of distributed energy sources in virtual power plants (VPP), this paper proposes a framework for collaborative utilization of pumped storage–carbon capture–power-to-gas (P2G) technologies. It also constructs a multi-time scale low carbon economic dispatch model for VPP to minimize the internal resource operation cost of VPP in each time period. During the intraday scheduling stage, the day-ahead scheduling results as the planned output and the energy flow is then dynamically corrected at a short-term resolution in the framework. This allows for the exploration of the low-carbon potential of each aggregation unit within the virtual power plant. The results of the simulation indicate that the strategy and model proposed in this paper can effectively encourage the consumption of renewable energy sources, promote the low-carbon operation of power system power, and serve as a valuable reference for the low-carbon economic operation of the power system.

In the direct current (DC) microgrid composed of multiple distributed generations, due to the different distances between various converters and the DC bus in the system, the difference of the line resistance will reduce the current sharing accuracy of the system. The droop control was widely used in the operation control of the DC microgrid. It was necessary to select a large droop coefficient to improve the current sharing accuracy, but a too large droop coefficient will lead to a serious bus voltage drop and affect the power quality. In view of the contradiction between the voltage regulation and load current sharing in the traditional droop control, a hierarchical control algorithm based on the improved droop control of the fuzzy logic was proposed in this paper. By improving the droop curve, the problems of voltage regulation and current sharing were solved simultaneously. The effectiveness of the algorithm was verified by simulation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Low-voltage direct current (DC) microgrid based on distributed generation (DG), the problems of load mutation affecting the DC bus under island mode, and the security problems that may arise when the DC microgrid is switched from island mode to grid-connected mode are considered. Firstly, a DC bus control algorithm based on disturbance observer (DOB) was proposed to suppress the impact of system load mutation on DC bus in island mode. Then, in a grid-connected mode, a pre-synchronization control algorithm based on a neural network adaptive control was proposed, and the droop controller was improved to ensure better control accuracy. Through this pre-synchronization control, the microgrid inverters output voltage could quickly track the power grid's voltage and achieve an accurate grid-connected operation. The effectiveness of the algorithms was verified by simulation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
