| Summary: | As distributed photovoltaic and shared energy storage systems expanded on the user side, developing an energy-sharing mechanism across different regions became crucial for fully utilizing local renewable energy resources and maximizing the system’s overall economic performance. This paper established a multi-regional energy operator (MREO) model considering shared energy storage, and a two-layer trading and optimization framework based on a master–slave game was developed. Initially, a trading system was devised to evaluate the interests of the power grid, MREO, and end-users. Next, an optimization model was formulated to capture the dynamic interactions between MREO decisions and user responses. The top-layer model was managed by MREO and focused on energy sharing among regions, which is used to set flexible electricity prices according to regional demand and optimize the use of shared energy storage. Meanwhile, the bottom-layer model addressed user demand response, allowing users to modify their energy consumption and select more advantageous trading areas based on information provided by the MREO. Simulation results confirmed that the proposed model accurately evaluated each party’s income, iteratively balanced their interests, and increased economic returns for both users and MREO. Additionally, the proposed approach supported greater local photovoltaic energy consumption, reduced grid load fluctuations, and fostered mutually beneficial outcomes for all stakeholders. |
