Game Theory Based Profit Allocation Method for Users within A Regional Energy Interchanging System

As one of the most important for the energy-saving and emission-reduction measures, regional energy is expected to contribute much to the development a low carbon society in the local area due its benefits including the rational use of energy, using energy scientifically, comprehensive energy and integrated energy. The so-called regional energy interchanging system, is established by forming some energy communities which can generate and consume energy simultaneously, and are connected with each other through local micro electricity and heat grid. In the interchanging process, along with the improvement of energy use efficiency, additional issue will appear especially the fairness between end-users. Therefore, in this study, as a classic theory for dealing with the profit allocation problems, cooperative game has been employed for the analysis of profit allocation among the users within a regional energy interchanging system. According to the simulation results of a case study, the proposed method has been approved to be good solution for the profit allocation for the users in the energy interchanging system, realizing a perfect combination of efficiency and fairness between different users.
