Abstract:

To address the privacy leakage problem in the distributed scheduling process of the integrated energy system (IES), a fully consensus low-carbon economic dispatching method based on homomorphic encryption is proposed with consideration of the power-constrained characteristics of the distributed scheduling nodes. Firstly, based on the power analysis of supply units and energy-use loads in the system, a dispatching model of energy system with comprehensive economic and low-carbon performance is established, and a fully-distributed consensus low-carbon economic dispatching algorithm is proposed by introducing the supply-demand mismatch state estimation variables. And then, the homomorphic cryptography is used to design the state exchange strategy to ensure that the nodes safely exchange information with neighbors without disclosing their private data. Also, the homomorphic cryptography technology allows operations to be performed directly on the ciphertext and ensures that the decrypted results are consistent with the direct computation results of the plaintext, thus ensuring the accuracy of the low-carbon economic scheduling. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed scheduling algorithm is verified using numerical simulation.
