Optimize Operational Strategies for Virtual Power Plants Integrating Electric Vehicles Aggregation and Carbon Capture

Based on the impact of electric vehicle charging and discharging on power load peak-to-valley ratio and virtual power plant revenue in the context of carbon-neutral, this paper proposes a virtual power plant optimization strategy that aggregates wind power, photovoltaic power, electric vehicles, carbon capture systems, and gas turbine units. Through analyzing user behavior and simulating charging loads, we propose a virtual power plant operation strategy. The peak-to-valley ratio and virtual power plant revenue are set as the objective, and the wind power and photovoltaic power output are cleared to the intraday market for sale, with gas turbines used to bear the base load, wind and photovoltaic power forecast errors, and electric vehicle charging demand. Carbon capture systems are used to reduce carbon emissions and participate in the carbon market trading. Finally, the simulation of ordered and unordered charging and discharging is carried out through an example to verify the effectiveness and practicability of the pro-posed strategy © 2025, Author.
