Abstract:

In the context of the new power system, traditional energy consumers are transforming into prosumers, entities that both consume and produce electricity. The emergence of a large number of prosumers has made the purchase and sale decisions of electricity retailers more complicated. At the same time, electricity retailers will also face more uncertainties, resulting in greater market risks. To address these challenges, this paper proposes an optimization method of power purchase and sales strategy for electricity retailers facing prosumers under uncertain factors. First, it establishes a two-tier optimization model for the purchase and sale of electricity by electricity retailers under uncertain conditions. The upper model focuses on the comfort and cost of prosumers, incorporates the uncertainty of photovoltaic output, and develops a robust energy optimization model for prosumers. For the uncertainty of electricity purchase and sale prices in the spot market, the lower model establishes a robust comprehensive decision-making model of electricity sales companies based on information gap decision theory (IGDT). Then, it uses the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) condition to transform the two-tier optimization problem proposed in into a single-layer nonlinear programming problem. Finally, the simulation analysis demonstrates the economy of the retail electricity price obtained and the effectiveness of the proposed model.

Key words: prosumers, uncertainty, information gap decision theory (IGDT), KKT condition, two-tier optimization problem
