Analysis of critical peak electricity price optimization model considering coal consumption rate of power generation side.

As a flexible electricity pricing mechanism, critical peak pricing (CPP) is one of the important means of demand response under the electricity market. The existing CPP research does not take into account the carbon emission problem of units and weakens the difference between the use of terminal loads on critical peak days and non-critical peak days in the establishment of electricity price model, so this paper studies the feedback mechanism of CPP on coal consumption of power generation side units and proposes a dynamic CPP mechanism that takes into account terminal consumption satisfaction and coal consumption of power generation side units. Firstly, the influence mechanism of CPP on the power generation side is studied. Secondly, the consumer psychology theory is used to construct a user demand response model under critical peak days and non-critical peak days. Then, based on the difference in load usage of end users on critical peak days and non-critical peak days, a multi-objective CPP optimization model that considers the benefits of coal consumption and end user electricity expenditure on the power generation side is constructed. Finally, three scenarios were established to analyze the sensitivity of the user demand response model parameters, terminal satisfaction constraints, prices, and rate restrictions on CPP pricing, load improvement, and unit coal consumption reduction and verify the model's effectiveness. The results show that the proposed CPP optimization model has a significant effect on load improvement and carbon emission reduction; the user response gradient, terminal satisfaction, prices, and rate restrictions have a greater influence on the model optimization results, while the threshold and saturation values have little influence on the model optimization results.
