A framework for coordinating energy prosumers through multi-energy sharing and carbon responsibility sharing

Area of Science:

• Energy Systems Engineering
• Environmental Economics
• Sustainable Energy Policy

Background:

• Prosumers are key to the energy-sharing market, improving resource allocation and low-carbon transitions via energy trade.
• Implicit carbon transfers in energy sharing require scientific carbon responsibility allocation for integrated markets.
• Coordinating multiple prosumers and multi-energy sharing necessitates equitable carbon responsibility allocation.

Purpose of the Study:

• To design an innovative framework for joint multi-energy and carbon responsibility sharing among multi-prosumers.
• To enhance local energy transactions, carbon emission management, and mutual benefits.
• To guide prosumer decisions in integrated electricity, heat, and carbon markets.

Main Methods:

• Development of a framework for joint multi-energy and carbon responsibility sharing.
• Implementation of mapping rules and tailored algorithms for responsibility allocation.
• Numerical analysis to validate the framework's effectiveness.

Main Results:

• Efficient sharing of multi-energy and carbon responsibilities among multi-stakeholders.
• Improved economic and environmental outcomes in energy systems.
• Enhanced low-carbon energy use and prioritization of low-carbon participants.

Conclusions:

• The proposed framework effectively coordinates multi-prosumers for collaborative energy sharing and equitable carbon responsibility allocation.
• The research advances energy systems toward shared carbon responsibilities, shifting from individual prosumer models to group collaboration.
• This approach supports sustainable energy transitions by optimizing resource management and emission reduction.
